Question Tesco Internet Phone - Looking for a wireless phone...

I am looking for a wireless phone to use with the Tesco Internet Phone service that doesn't require a computer. I have a wireless home network already so it shouldn't be too difficult to setup but I just need something that works and only requires a power outlet for the handset itself.

I am guessing it would be a SIP/IP DECT Phone but I cannot seem to find any online to purchase. It doesn't have to be fancy with an answer phone or anything like that as Tesco Internet Phone provides free voicemail.

Could someone help me locate one online I can purchase please?

P.S. A little off topic; I am on Virgin Media 20Mbit Cable. I am guessing this more than enough bandwidth to use the service?

Try a new search engine, plenty to be found:

Siemens Dual Phone third item down.

Five pages of phones here, not used them so not a recommendation but a site showing a lot of possible phones.

VM 20Mb is fine, I use Sipgate on a 10Mb was 2Mb VM cable connection.

The Siemens Dual Phone is no longer sold, I found that one on their website. Thanks for the other link though.

Did you manage to get a handset in the end? I managed to break my IPA-1000 (Tesco internet phone adaptor) so I'm looking for a replacement.

Tesco don't seem to sell standalone handsets anymore I'm not sure which handsets would be compatible with the tesco internet phone service?

Edit: Okay after researching this a bit I've decided to go with a Siemens Gigaset A580 and use sipgate instead of Tesco.
