Cordless or not?

Question

I've been reading up on cordless phones and would appreciate your input. I was so frustrated with my old cordless because I was constantly having interference with conversations cutting in and out......I'd walk outside and the reception would be bad etc. I finally just said forget it and now have 1 corded phone in the house....it's great because there's no interference, but I can't walk around! Someone had once told me to get a dss phone? I'm clueless! I recently saw a Panasonic phone at Costco and said it was a dect 6.0...is this something that will do the trick? What is the difference between the dect 6.0 and the dss phone someone had mentioned to me? Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated! Thank you!!

Answer 1

Get a digital 5.8 GHZ Panasonic cordless phone.

Its the best out there, the rest are problematic. Especially Simens and ATT.

Answer 2

Trust me cordless phones are great; it was probably the one you had that was old/broken. When you have the money buy a cordless phone, and if you don't like it, take the reciept and return it.

Answer 3

I've been trough a few BT/Panasonic/Siemens/Philips cordless phone and I understand how you feel. The first few were terrible because they had always buzzing noise the further away you go. Afterwards Digital Cordless phones came out and they were great because they either work or stop suddenly after 100 meters. Thats a very long distance and even tried taking my handset with me to the shop...still worked. Now the bad news is I had enough of this and I'm going back to corded phones.

I can't express how terrible is when you start to talk and your battery dies in the middle of the conversation, especially if it's important call from the bank, insurance, office that you can't just redial. The other problem is I talk a lot and my average calls are about 30min to 1 hour. Also home cordless phones are not like GSM's where you can just plug them and start charging while still talking. If you try that it will hand up immediately and you can't use the phone unless you take it off the base unit. If you can buy a good corded phone and place it in the dinner room next to a table where you can sit rather than standing up in the hallway, then you will be laughing!
