Manual of product C250 Duo
Editorial note
The Alcatel C250 Duo is a cordless phone that stands out for its practicality and modern design. With a maximum outdoor range of 300 meters, it offers great freedom of movement, making it ideal for daily use in various environments. The yellow backlit screen ensures good visibility, even in low light conditions, adding an aesthetic touch to its use. However, some aspects may be drawbacks. The lack of a built-in answering machine may disappoint those who wish to manage their missed calls effectively. Additionally, the limited directory capacity of 20 entries may not be sufficient for users with many contacts. The monochrome screen, while functional, may seem outdated compared to modern standards. Overall performance is satisfactory, with a talk time of 7 hours and a standby time of 100 hours. However, the nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology may require more frequent recharges than modern lithium-ion batteries. In summary, the Alcatel C250 Duo is a wise choice for those looking for a functional and aesthetic cordless phone, although it may lack some more advanced features.Score details
