If you struggle to hear the telephone ringing or find that conversations down the line can be faint, an amplified telephone may be your ideal solution to improved communication. The Amplicomms PowerTel 2880 Amplified Telephone Combo with Answering Machine combines a corded telephone and cordless handset with an answering machine to improve phone conversations for individuals with hearing impairments.
Available on back-order
The PowerTel 2880 Combo has been designed to provide improved control over both the ringer and receiver volume. There are six volume levels, in addition to a mute function, allowing the user to adjust the receiver volume up to 40dB (roughly eight times the volume of a standard phone) and the ringer volume up to 90dB. There is also a choice of ten ringtones for optimal hearing.
The HD DSL sound provides low distortion with a built-in equaliser, which can be altered between four settings: natural, treble 1, treble 2, and bass. As the telephone is compatible with hearing aids, it means that audio can be adjusted to meet the needs of virtually any user, improving the quality of conversations and communication.
This combo set includes a corded telephone with an integrated digital answering machine and a cordless handset. The integrated answering machine records up to approximately 30 minutes of audio. Playback of messages or vocal memos can be slowed down by pressing the “Slow” key, and you can listen to messages using either the handset or a tabletop unit.
Yes, the base of this amplified telephone needs to be plugged into the mains power, while the cordless handset runs on rechargeable batteries (included with this purchase). To connect the base unit:

Is the Phone Easy to Use?
As well as providing greater audio control, the PowerTel 2880 Combo offers improved usability. The large backlit buttons reduce the risk of numbers being misdialled, while the blue backlit display screens makes it easier to read both dialled and incoming numbers.
The visual alert provided by the LCD screens provides an additional prompt for incoming calls. This means that users, particularly individuals with reduced hearing, will be less likely to miss a call as the bright screen can catch their attention when in eyeshot.
Yes, the PowerTel Amplified Telephone features a phonebook that is able to store up to 100 numbers at a time. This allows you to keep all of your contacts at the ready for contact at a moment’s notice.
Yes, this phone can be wall-mounted. In order to mount the base unit to a wall, you will need two dowels and two screws (preferably fillister-head with a diameter of 4mm). Please use caution and be aware of all electrical wires and water pipes before drilling.
The exact working range of the handset from the base will depend on several factors including building materials and wall thickness. The working range can be as long as 300 meters in an open air outdoor environment, while indoors the estimated range is roughly 50 meters.
Yes, the base can be paired with up to four handsets, which means three additional handsets in addition to the one already included with this combo. Additional handsets need to be purchased separately.
