Stu,

If I am reading the Yackie list correctly, all of the handsets listed, except those few that are highlighted in yellow or pink, are "direct dial" models (at least they all say "direct dialing"). I am only considering those identified as "direct dialing" models as my options. Once my boyfriend opens the box containing the phone, I am going to tell him about this forum and advise him that he must report back to the forum about his experiences when he returns from NZ in March. I will also report back on my ability to call him on the road. It is the least we can do to repay you all for the help I have been given.
