August 27, 2009

Are you looking for the Best Cordless Phone? What is the best cordless phone on the market?

A good cordless phone should have a long range and be free from static and interferences.

For security reasons a digital cordless phone should be chosen over an analog one. Analog phones transmissions can be easily picked up just like a radio transmission.

Cordless phones use one of the following frequencies: 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz.

Normally the higher the frequencies the better the transmission and the lower the interferences. However the latest technology uses the 1.9 GHz DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) standard.

DECT 6.0 are completely free from interferences from sources like WiFi, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights, TV etc and has the longest range, approximately 2 to 3 times that of 5.8GHz phones.

The transmission is encrypted, making it secured. Its power consumption is about 30% less than that of 2.4 or 5.8 GHZ phones.

It is clear from all the reviews that Panasonic cordless phones are among the best if not the best. They are all of the series KX-TG and getting anyone of them would be a safe bet. They differ from each other in design and the number of handsets.

So if you need a set of 5 phones the Panasonic KX-TG6445 would be your choice. This is actually one of the cheapest cordless phone if you divide the cost by 5.
