Hi! About a year ago I replaced my standard Eircom phone with a cordless DECT phone from Argos. Unfortunately I made a bad choice.

Hi! About a year ago I replaced my standard Eircom phone with a cordless DECT phone from Argos. Unfortunately I made a bad choice. The phone has an answering machine which doesn't allow you to change the default message. The number of rings before answering machine picks up can only be set to a maximum of 6 - am always missing calls

Anyway, I badly need a new one and am looking for the following features. If anyone can make a good recommendation it would be greatly appreciated!

Preferably a brandname

Backlight on LCD and keypad

Skype certified

Use of Skype VoIP and regular PSTN calls simultaneously (i.e. without having to unplug it from the phone socket, and plug it into USB etc.) - so I presume it would have to be WiFi enabled

Answering machine would be very useful

Basically a good, reliable, convenient and user friendly cordless phone with wireless Skype and answering machine if possible. Don't care about price if it's good.

Muchos gracias
