How To Choose a Cordless Telephone

There are many cordless telephone options available today with varying technologies, styling and features. Determining the right phone for you depends on how you want to use it and the environment you live in. Criteria to consider include:

Frequency

Digital phones are much more secure than analog phones, and Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) offers the best protection against eavesdropping. Also, clarity generally increases as you move up in frequency range. There are multiple frequency ranges that are available and each of them has its benefits. Some of the most common frequency ranges for cordless phones are 900MHz, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz.

Advanced Features

Cordless phones have evolved extensively in design and features. In response to consumer demand, many cordless telephones today are equipped with high-end features and unique styling.

Advanced cordless phone features include:

Call Waiting/Caller ID (requires subscription from local telephone company)
Built-in Answering Machine

Multiple handsets

Multiple handset systems are an increasingly popular trend in cordless telephones, enabling consumers to place additional handsets around the home without the need for additional phone jacks. Expandability varies from two to ten handsets.
