This Analogue BT Coral is becoming a rare collectable item. It is extremely difficult to source these phones in good condition. This one is supplied with 1 battery.

This is a wonderful piece for someone’s collection.
Please note: Due to the age of used batteries we cannot offer any form of warranty with them. They can be up to 22 years old. We check that the battery powers up the phone but have now way of testing how long the battery will perform for. We therefore recommend to get the best performance from your phone is to purchase a new battery.
Below is the only thing that we could find on the phone confirming its age.
British Telecom Mobile Phone
British Telecom marketed mobile phones through a separate operation, 'BT Mobile Phones', essentially rebranding other manufacturers' mobile phones. Their first hand held mobile was the British Telecom Opal , a rebranded Motorola Dynatac 8000S. In 1987 they added the BT Pearl which was made by Mitsubishi, the Coral by Kokusai and the Ivory, also made by a Japanese manufacturer.
