12ft Coiled Handset Lead (White) - 62cms coiled

does exactly what I needed, solved the problem, cost effectively in one

The description is misleading. This lead consists of a short section of coiled cable and the remainder is uncoiled. If you wish to use it with a BT Duet phone, you can either connect it directly to the Duet phone (which is my preferred method) or you can fix the part of the uncoiled cable just before the coiled section into grooves in the phone base and then connect into the phone, so it acts like a conventional corded phone. Your choice. However, I would have liked the cable to be a little longer.

This is a well priced and useful item which does exactly what it promises, albeit that it does not exactly stretch to the full given length length. It does however allow me to continue chatting to my daughter on the phone whilst leaning away from the phone point to make a cup of tea at the other corner of my kitchen. Perfect for me.

I thought I could use the handset up to 12ft from base but cannot as it pulls the base unit onto the floor. May have been better off with a long uncoiled handset lead.

Great price and worked a treat. Phone line was crackly, so I bought this and it did the trick. Brill.

Perfect Product to get phone up and running again easy to install just plug ends in , good price !

...and this is what I needed. I have a corded phone but found that when sitting back in the armchair the cord was too short and would pull the base set off the table. This longer cord, described as 12 ft long, is only 12 ft long if you stretch it to its full extent, it sits about 2 ft long on the table and is just right.

This was sold as an accessory for the BT DUET phone. The DUET handset connects direct the wall socket rather than the base unit - therefore this lead is entirely unsuitable for this application. Only buy it for a handset that connects to its base unit. Very misleading marketing.
