Are you after a DECT base with three handsets? Then you could get something like British Telecom Phone Trio or a Gigaset AS405A Trio. The base can then be plugged into the Grandstream.Suggestions for a triple set please (up to £75)
Not a solution. Very limited, but necessary, incoming calls use for the VoIP line. Besides, I do not want to be stuck with the same Broadband / VoIP provider.Are you after a DECT base with three handsets? Then you could get something like British Telecom Phone Trio or a Gigaset AS405A Trio. The base can then be plugged into the Grandstream.
If you want to splash out a bit more, dump the Grandstream and your existing broadband router and get a Fritzbox with a few DECT handsets.
not sure why you would be stuck with the same Broadband/VoIP provider, the two are completely independent. On the current FritzOS, you can configure up to 20 different VoIP accounts.Besides, I do not want to be stuck with the same Broadband / VoIP provider.

You don't need to use the modem function of the Fritzbox (no point if you are on FTTP). You can use the Fritzbox purely as a VoIP client behind the Orbi, i.e.I do not want a "modem" between the ONT and the Orbi.

FTTP -- ONT -- Orbi -- Fritzbox
So you could pick up a second hand Fritzbox models that has VoIP and DECT and plug it into your main router instead of the Grandstream. You can find the different models listed here

The more recent models support mesh operation
Which FRITZ! products support Mesh? | FRITZ!Box 7390
Mesh with FRITZ! is supported by all current FRITZ! products and many older ones. This overview shows you which FRITZ! products support Mesh. FRITZ! products that are not listed in this overview do not support Mesh.en.avm.de
so you could look at using Fritzbox as a mesh repeater in your Orbi mesh. There are plenty of FB 7530 on eBay (I believe Zen provided them free to their customers), selling for as little as £20.
The main benefit over a Grandstream ATA is that you can set up several VoIP accounts, picking the cheapest option for outbound calls. Also, with several DECT phones you can make up to three calls in parallel (or while on a call, receive another incoming one).
Might need to up your budget slightly. Gigaset DECT systems are popular and stable. Yealink also get decent reviews.Want a trio handset(s) with answer machine. I have Gradstream (HT801) adapter that is currently working with a cheap single phone.

Thanks
Ligo does have a good choice.Might need to up your budget slightly. Gigaset DECT systems are popular and stable. Yealink also get decent reviews.
Have a look on Ligo for desired/requisite handset features etc.
Where you/how you terminate your VoIP should be separate from your ISP broadband solution and handset choices, for ultimate future proofing and system "portability"
They are good to deal with too. Prices are usually quite competitiveLigo does have a good choice.
