Cordless phones: Compare features & prices Argos Value Range I2000 single review Back to Results

White, bulky and basic, the no-frills Argos Value Range 12000 single cordless phone has an eye-catching low price. It is very light on features, offering a small and basic phonebook. In our experience, cheaper models disappoint when it comes to sound quality, so we were eager to put this Argos cordless phone through our tests to see if it could buck the trend.
