How do you change over to a new cordless phone?

Question

Got a Uniden 2.4GHz Digital DCX700 with 4 handsets. The LED display is funked up and the batteries don't work for very long, even after charging all night. Looking to upgrade. We've got an answering machine and our phone line is connected to a RoadRunner router for cable access. (Our regular land line is corrupted.) If I was to buy another phone package, do I have to go through RoadRunner and change the answering machine, etc., or can I just plug it in, using our answering machine as it is now?

Any ideas and tips about switching cordless phones?

Answer 1

Simply unplug your old phone and connect the new one.  Your phone number remains the same.

Answer 2

buy another cordless phone that you like and and plug it in just the way it is now. The base unit should be plugged into where the base unit for the Uniden is now.  You leave your answering machine as it is also, Unless you buy a remote phone with an answering machine in the base

It is really very simple to do.
