What is the best multiple cordless phone system for a residence?

Question

I have a large house that is served by two old cordless phones. A typical problem is that when a call comes in, by the time I get to one of the phones, the call has gone into voice mail.

I have phone jacks throughout the house, but some of the areas I would like to station a phone are not near a jack.

I don't need a system with voice mail.

Please advise.

Answer 1

That phone Roger is talking about sounds magnificent. I have used a Uniden phone for over 3 years now. Prices are reasonable.

Answer 2

V-Tech..It was cheap and battery life isn't to bad for the price..

Panasonic is better by far for features,,But I'm too cheap to pay extra $

Answer 3

One of the best residential phone on the market right now is the Panasonic DECT 6.0!!
