Question

When a cordless phone says 5.8Ghz how far can I take that from it's charger.?

Answer 1

Most cordless phones only work within a fair few meters from their base charger. Some work just outside your home but others can become crackly and other may not work at all.

Try doing a little test perhaps. Try using your phone, but each time you use it try going a little further away from its chrager.

If you have an instruction manual that came with your phone/s, then it would be worth having a look in there. Most manuals, if not all, should tell you how far away you can take your cordless phone away from the charger.

Hope this helped you.

Answer 2

i dunno but my neighbor has a cordless phone that reaches to my house!

Answer 3

You can take it to the other side of the world as long as the battery is charged. However, you won't be able to call on it if you don't bring the base station with you.

Answer 4

My phone says the exact same thing. Mine does not work outside, even if I am just standing on  my porch.

Answer 5

about 30 feet.....mine works all the way down the street....with the antenna up..

Answer 6

I actually tried this the other night. I was trying to determine if my cell phone was in my car (it was dark), so I brought my cordless phone outside. I walked about 50 feet from my apt to my car and was able to call. I did have to try twice and the call did have some static.

Answer 7

Depends on the material of your house and whether there are any other devices or sources in the vincinity. Anything between almost zero and 50 meters but usually at least 10-20 meters.

Answer 8

I have a 5.8 also, and i can walk to the corner before it starts to get static. about 50 yards.

Answer 9

Actually, there is a lot of 'hype' on 5.8 Ghz. phones!! First of all, the higher the frequency, the less the range. These all run the same low power, around 100 mw. If you read the fine print, the base is operating at 2.4 Ghz. or 900 Mhz.!! I have run tests on 900, 2.4 and 5.8... The old 900 Mhz. analog had the best range!! It also depends on any surrounding objects, including trees, houses, metal, etc. The so called digital spread spectrum does NOT increase range. It just pertains to the frequency (digital' hopping, preventing anyone from listening in.) That is not easy nowadays without a special scanner, even to hear digital. I put a 2.4 Ghz. in a window, and reached about a block, with the signal getting logrithmic rather than linear fadeouts and flaky in response beyond that.

Answer 10

37 miles

Answer 11

any measurement in hz is the frequency....they tell you this so it doesn't intefere with other devices.... it the power of the device that will dictate it's range..... look for watts (W).... even then it still depends how efficiant it is.

Answer 12

im thinkin around 30 or so feet. but, the further you go past 20ft the more chance u have of static and drop off.
