  Although it is a recent purchase, the device is simple, easy to use with strong melodies. For now, everything is fine.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Lightweight, convenient, put larger batteries in it. Modern chargers have trickle charge. As for sound quality, comfortably 4.5/5.

  It works just fine. The only area where it might fall short is in charging. With a few calls a day, it needs charging every 3 days.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Purchased from a German for €30 on 5/12/24. Greek instructions, menu, and Greek characters on the keys along with the Latin ones. Some of you writing about Spanish are probably referring to parallel imports (it's very likely to have Greek in the language change (I don't know what happens with typing in Greek)). Simple phone, aesthetically pleasing, nothing amazing, but it gets the job done.
  Positives
  +Backlit keyboard
  -Relatively large screen for this price category.
  +Red notification light for missed calls
  Negatives
  -It's not easy to input capital letters (it requires leaving a space and then deleting the spaces)
  -It requires pressing the call button twice to enter speakerphone mode because it doesn't have a separate button.
  -Important and for public awareness!!! Prefer colors with a white screen background and black characters, otherwise the screen will not turn off while it is on the base and charging. This is not a defect; it is poor product design. I went and changed from black with turquoise to black with silver around the screen.

  The phone is generally okay, the construction is cheap but you don't expect it to be perfect at this price. The speaker when you receive a call is very weak, so you need to set a different sound that is a bit louder because with its own sound you have to be right next to it to hear when you are called. That's why I deduct one star! Very light as a phone. Also, something for potential buyers, because it comes in a foreign language and until you find how to change the language it will take you 1 hour. Press on the home screen the button 4 then 2 then 1 and it will take you directly to the language change settings.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I bought it for my mother who is 83 years old and doesn't hear very well. It has been convenient for her. The sounds during calls are good. The conversation sound is good; my mother doesn't complain.
  Negatives: 1) The manual comes in Spanish. Also, when you turn on the phone, its menu is in Spanish, so you have to translate from Spanish to Greek to find out how to set it to the language you want. 2) For contacts, you can't write them in Greek, only with Latin characters. If you overcome these issues, it is a decent phone with the hope that it will last over time

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Nice finish, dark gray is the frame of the screen, not silver. Good feel to the buttons that require no force to press, simple menu that requires many clicks for navigation with a dedicated row on the dial, came in Italian but changed easily with a little intuition. The screen light does indeed remain on at the base but at a low intensity. Short battery life, drained in a day, while charging takes a long time. The cost of acquiring better batteries should also be considered. Call quality, sounds are okay. Mute from the known button (★). Connection to the router. Purchase 39 euros.

  Very powerful headphone that is especially convenient for larger individuals, plus the excellent integration with the Fritz Box router. My only not excellent comment has to do with the build quality. Without being bad, it "looks" a little like it is from the budget range.

  I have had it for almost three weeks.
  I also bought the Panasonic eneloop 800mAh and I put them directly, meaning I didn't even touch his batteries. The first charge lasted almost 10 days with moderate to normal use.
  Charged on 27/4 at night - died before noon on 9/5.
  So, from 28/4 to 8/5 = 11 days!

  I should mention here that the battery icon shows one bar or completely empty from the 2nd to the 4th day, but I figured it couldn't be completely empty and I left it to see when it would completely die.
  With the empty battery icon, it lasted another 7 days!
  One morning, the battery started flashing with a soft sound.
  It died.
  And I have it on max power saving mode.

  I explained to everyone in the house not to charge it before it completely dies, because the battery shows wrong information since it has rechargeable batteries different from the ones in the box.
  I didn't try the batteries from the box so that the software doesn't mess up the time of my batteries with his.

  I know it seems like a lot of days, and I wonder the same thing, did it really last or did someone accidentally charge it in between?

  I will come back at some point when I have definite data.

  Superior to the Panasonic KX TG1613 I had. Day and night. The keyboard, which was a criterion for me, is what I was looking for. It just needs 800mAh batteries. The 400mAh ones are not enough.

  Replaced a Panasonic. Finally found a device that works properly.. value for money choice with satisfactory battery. Charges quickly. Also, the speech is clear.
  It came with a foreign language menu but by playing with the basic settings, the language can be easily changed. It also has a red light for missed calls.

  Good for its price, good intensity, clear sound.. very lightweight. I think if it falls, it will break but I won't test it. Very small, maybe too small for some. The other side doesn't hear me well when I have the speaker on, but maybe it's the other side's phone's fault.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Battery replacement with 1000mAh, their capacity confirmed with 3 different chargers separately. Operating time with these = 4 days at most but also with others of the same capacity, no difference (I have tried 3 different brands, same capacity), with their own (400mAh) lasts a little less than 2 days (logical due to their capacity) and to clarify that this is with Eco mode On, and at most 1-2 calls per week.

  I have another Panasonic 10 years old (I don't remember the model now) which with the 1000mAh batteries lasts at least 7 days (also with Eco mode on), so, although this Gigaset A690 works fine as a device and does what it says, the fact that because it needs charging every 3-4 days, I will not recommend it unless you have it almost constantly on the base or frequently enough so that frequent charging (within the time frame of 3-4 days always) is not a problem for someone else, but for me who have the base in the other room, it is because I have to move it excessively (for me, I repeat) often.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Well, the phone is excellent in all aspects, but it has two disadvantages, one of which is personally serious for me. The first one is its base, which is inconvenient. You need to be careful when placing the headset on the charger because it stands upright. So sometimes, depending on where you have it, it is difficult to put it on the base in one go to charge it. And now let's move on to the most basic issue that all, and I mean almost all, phones from this company have, except for this one, and I can't find a reason why they haven't included this function, which is screen adjustment and brightness deactivation when it is charging, so that you can deactivate the brightness when it is charging. It is very annoying, for example, for someone who doesn't want light at night, when they put it on charge, the screen stays on from morning until night and vice versa, and it doesn't turn off after two or three seconds... the screen only deactivates if it is NOT on the base, and this is unacceptable!

  Perfect! After years of using wireless Panasonic phones, and after desperately dealing with the problems they occasionally caused me, I decided to try something unknown simply because it was economical. In the end, it proved to be much superior in every aspect. Durable (it has fallen), strong sound, long battery life (you forget to put it on the base), user-friendly.

  Now that I have just received it, it looks very good from the first picture. Large letters, large screen, and I received it quickly. And because I read some comments about the manual being in other languages and not Greek, you can download it by writing the model and user manual in Greek

  This review is about the colour: Black

  One of the best landline phones, not only in its price category, but overall.

  Excellent sound quality and reception, louder compared to many Panasonic phones. The ringtones are average, but there are some that sound very loud and that's what matters.

  It has a sturdy construction. The buttons are convenient and seem durable (after 2-3 years of use, they still look like new). It has a light for missed calls, which can be deactivated with a code in the menu, easily found in the manual. The batteries it comes with are small, but can be replaced with 1000mAh ones.

  Its menu is one of the fastest and simplest menus in a landline phone. The ECO DECT function is excellent, with 2 modes: reduced range or no radiation (in this mode, the handset is completely disconnected in standby until it receives a signal, so incoming calls may be delayed by 1-2 seconds, but it doesn't affect anything). Additionally, on the same base, you can connect up to 3 more handsets, enabling intercom and call waiting with the "house" button (it also has music) and it has the ability to copy the phonebook to/from another compatible handset.

  Finally, the handset is fully compatible with the DECT station on FritzBox (where the Gigaset base will only function as a charger), and all the functions of the FritzBox telephone center work (caller ID, call list, phonebook, hold and transfers, eco dect), without the need for any configuration. In fact, compared to other Gigaset models, it has a quick response. It has some differences compared to the HX models of Gigaset, which are specialized for IP telephony, but it doesn't affect its use with the router.

  Owner of the Gigaset A420A, I can't remember for how long (same features plus answering machine, illuminated keypad, works fine but some buttons are difficult to press due to use), owner of the Gigaset AS405 for a year and a half now (illuminated keypad) and now owner of the A690.

  Apart from the design, personally I don't find any difference in practice between the AS405 and the A690 (the first one has been discontinued).

  The menu of Gigaset is the easiest and most intuitive I have encountered so far (Panasonic's is exactly the opposite, always for me).

  Nice large clear screen, illuminated keypad, loud ringtone (I always use the Midnight one which is not annoying), excellent call sound and volume.

  Like with other Gigaset phones (and not only), ignore the batteries it comes with and use Panasonic eneloop for DECTs or any 800-1000mAh batteries you want.

  Just like the AS405, the A690 also paired with the base of the A420A, which means that the bases of the AS405 and A690 are only for charging. So, 3 DECTs, no cables anywhere except for the base of the A420A where the others have been paired. Very easy process [which is why in the photo on the screen you can see "INT3", it is the 3rd DECT paired with the base].

  Another good thing about Gigaset is that with very few clicks, you can copy contacts from one DECT to another. A lifesaver in my case.

  The only hiccup, even with this one, was that it came with the menu in Spanish or something like that. In 2 minutes (looking at the manual, given that I don't speak that language, whatever it was) I had switched it to English and everything was OK. I saw that it also has Greek, in greeklish format, but I didn't bother.

  For me, this Gigaset is also a 5-star product.

  P.S. It is very easy to download Greek and English manuals, so no matter what language the phone or manual is in, I personally don't consider it a problem.

  P.P.S. Of course, when you put the DECT on the base and it doesn't stay on all the time. If someone has such a problem, they probably have an issue with either the DECT or the base. If they also occasionally hear the characteristic sound when placing the DECT on the base for charging, then I can confidently say that either the DECT is not properly seated on the base or there are issues with the contacts on the DECT and/or the base. This applies to any Gigaset I have, while the only one where I have occasionally seen it is on my old A420A.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I got it for my elderly mother. And as happens with older people who have vision and hearing problems, I needed large letters on the screen, loud ringing sound, and strong and clear speakerphone. It does all of these and more - better than any wireless phone I've had in my hands. The little phone saved me...
  It does give you the feeling of cheap construction quality, but that doesn't affect its functionality.
  Additionally, it is user-friendly (I wonder why some say it doesn't support Greek characters in the index; they probably haven't realized that for each letter, it takes several presses to select the Greek character that comes after the Latin ones), lightweight, and has very good range even in eco mode.
  I also really liked the red LED notification light for missed/ unanswered calls.
  I found only 3 negative issues, of which only one remains...
  - There is a strange delay of 2-3 rings when someone calls you. That is, the person calling you hears 2-3 ringing sounds on their phone before it actually starts ringing your phone. I don't know why and I couldn't find how to stop it or at least reduce it - it seems to be an inherent characteristic of the phone, and I will live with it.
  - At first, it didn't have caller ID. I struggled a lot until I figured out what was wrong, and in the end, the problem was... firmware upgrade on the router, which was resolved after 2-3 calls to the provider's support until we found out what the issue was... That's what you get with VoIP lines...
  - And lastly, the "mom" batteries are small and last a little - something that can be easily solved with a pair of new ones at a minimal cost of a few euros.

  Otherwise, it is definitely worth its money (at 28 and something euros) - especially if it proves to be reliable over time

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Hello everyone, I just received the phone. It seems quite high-quality for its price. I have read all your comments, so I want to clarify some things.

  1. When it is on the base, the screen turns off, the backlight is not on. Some people said that it does not turn off for them, but for me, it closes normally.
  2. The menu is in Greek, but the keyboard is only in English, so you have to enter contacts in Greeklish.
  3. The menu is very easy, it has nice options.
  4. On the screen, you can enlarge the letters for those who have trouble seeing, and it has very good clarity, you can see everything very clearly with good lighting.
  5. The batteries had 400mAh as I uploaded in the photo, they satisfy me, but whoever wants can get 1000mAh and they will last longer.
  6. I really like the speakerphone, in general, the sound is very clear.
  7. A big plus is when someone calls you and you don't have time to answer, or they hang up, it flashes a red light.
  8. It has a very good range, I put it in the eco option without radiation and also tried the max range option. I have a big house and I can talk everywhere without any problems.

  Overall, I believe it is worth it as a phone, of course, time will tell. I got it for 27 euros with a promotion I had, but it is definitely worth 30-35 euros

  This review is about the colour: Black

  It is the third Gigaset that I am getting, the first A400 lasted for several years, the second A415, after the warranty, the screen broke and the letters disappear, but they come back after a few days. I got the third one, the A690, to see what will come out. In the meantime, I got a Panasonic KX-TGB610 for a change, but it is very inconvenient compared to the Gigaset. The only positive thing that Panasonic has is the Call Rejection, it cuts off the call like mobile phones, it rings only once. But it also has the following good thing that Gigaset doesn't have, it rejects calls with just the prefix of the respective company or country or region, without needing the whole number. As previously mentioned, Gigaset continues to ring silently!
