How much should I spend on a cordless phone?

Question

I want a good cordless phone that's not too expensive. I was thinking of spending $40 to $50 but then my friend tells me that if I want a good phone I should spend more than that.

Answer 1

Don't buy a cheap analog phone, scanners can listen to your conversation. Go digital.

A very good phone is the Uniden DECT 1080-2. Has answering machine, and has 1 extra handset. Runs about $90-.

Answer 2

Stay within your budget.

Answer 3

I've never spent more than $40 on a cordless and have never had any problems.

Answer 4

forget the price tags of uniden and vtech, they can be misleading, when you are spending that money you expect a quality product... both brands are garbage...

get a panasonic, preferably a DECT model...

for  a single handset unit you should not be paying too much more then your expected price... but I advise most people that a decent cordless is going to run in the $80 range... mine was about $150 (panasonic DECT with 4 handsets)

Answer 5

Any cordless phone will work
