Alarm Clock Phone

The improvement in the area of telecommunications has brought with it a number of developments such as the Alarm Clock Phone. Basically it is a combination of a phone and a clock, usually it also comes with a radio and can also include a CD Player or an MP3 Player

PROS

The main advantage of a Phone Alarm Clock is its efficiency. Instead of two or three separate gadgets. It is all in one. Other advantages include being able to answer the phone whilst still in bed, although some people might consider this a disadvantage.

Some Clocks come with answering machines or could be cordless.

CONS

However if the phone rings in the middle of the night while you are asleep, you could get a nasty shock and woken up by its strident ringing. Another disadvantage is if one component breaks you would have to replace the whole thing rather than if it were separate.

So having an Alarm Clock Phone can be a great advantage. You could spend a lazy Sunday morning in bed listening to the latest news on the radio or listening to your favourite CD, all with out having to move an inch if the phone rings.

All of us are different sleepers. Some of us wake up at the most sensitive of sounds, some of us need a little nudging, and there are those that go quite deep into the rabbit hole so to speak. Depending on your sleeping habits, you might actually need to consider using various types of alarm clock phones.

Most people tend to depend on alarm clocks to wake them up at designated times, but let’s face it, not all of us can wake up with the standard alarm. Before we move forward, let’s take a closer look first at what an alarm clock phone will be able to do for you. Now since we’re talking about phones then the most obvious function would be the ability to make a call.

The only thing that you will basically be deliberating on will in terms of the designs and added features. Now, when it comes to features, you will be able to a wide variety of them. Some will actually have displays built into the phones allowing you to see the time clearly, while others will generally look like your classic phone but with the added alarm feature.

Other phones will actually also have radio functions built into them and you will actually be able to set the radio to turn on during the alarm time instead of the usual alarm ring that you hear. You will also be able to choose from a wide range of colors if you feel that the standard black is too common or boring.

Now, when it comes to alarms, alarm clock phones will generally come with different decibels which will help even the deepest “sleepers” to wake up. Now, in essence alarms usually do not come with the same tempo and volumes so it would be best that you try each one out before making the purchase.

Want to know the perfect alarm that will be guaranteed to wake you up? That’s easy, when sampling an alarm, find one that is most irritating. Once you hear it, you’ll know you have the right one.

Not all alarm clock phones will come with the usual alarm of course as you will be able to find alarm clock phones that rings when waking you up. Some actually have this nice add-on of having the message “this is your wakeup call” when answering.

One of the main advantages of having a ringing phone as an alarm is most people have the need to wake up in order to answer their phone. Remember that the more irritating the sound is the more effective it will be in waking you up.

In conclusion, alarm phones will both function as a home phone and as an alarm. Other features can include a radio, voice mail system, and different alarm sounds. Think about what you’ll need to buy and you’ll find the phone you’re looking for.

Alarm clock?
Cell Phone?
Radio?

How does it make you feel?

How would you feel about a pillow that glowed and displayed the time when it was time to wake up, so it wouldn’t be loud and annoying, the light would slowly wake you up?

The world’s most anoying alarm clock

I am considering these:

- iHome Rotating Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPod 80u$
- Philips DC315/37 Speaker System for iPod/iPhone with LED Clock Radio (Black) 88u$
- CVT i3101

Any thoughts on the rest?

I am looking for an alarm clock with great speakers. And the following functions if possible.
1) When you have it in the base listening to music, if you receive a phone call I would like the music to stop
2) Listening to Pandora radio also through the speakers.
3) Waking up with the music in a crescendo voluime.
4) No need to put the iphone in airplane mode (due to interference with the speakers).

Let me know what you think.

Ok so I live in a dorm and have a lofted bed. I use an extension cord to put my alarm clock on my bed which is high up because I can’t turn it off if i have to get down from my bed and I don’t want to bother my roommates. I sometimes plug my phone charger in the
Same extension cord ad it gets really hot! I took it out though. I notice my alarm clock gets a little warm too. Is this safe if the alarm clock is sitting on my bed with an extension cord? I can try getting batteries for it.

I have a Sony cordless phone (~15 yrs old) with LED alarm clock radio on base unit. It is getting old and difficult to find replacement battery. I am now looking for a replacement and I can not find a cordless phone with alarm clock that I can see at night in the dark. Is there a phone like this on the market?

I have been researching CNET and looking at online stores but I am not really able to find an alarm clock or just speaker system options that will work well with my iPhone. Below are the features I am looking for in order of importance.

- Doesn’t have interference beeps or feedback
- Runs on batteries and can be taken to beach, park, etc
- not too big on my nightstand
- Batteries are rechargeable

- alarm clock that lets you wake up to iphone music
- alarm clock with big clear numbers
- iphone nestles in front of speakers instead of sitting on top
- good sound
- price
- good base

- radio
- multiple alarms

Thanks in advance to anyone who could recomend some good speaker/alarm clock systems
