A home corded or cordless phone can provide you with a very clear line and you will not need to concern yourself with the dreaded ‘dropped call’ when you're about to close that business deal.
Because of the ubiquity of mobile phones nowadays, you might ask yourself why you even need to have a corded or cordless phone at home? There's no doubt that cellphones are greatly convenient….until you cannot receive a good signal at your house for your cell, which happens sometimes. You also might want to make an important call, such as a business teleconference, on a land line. Mobile phones have a way of dropping signal at worst time.
A home corded or cordless phone will provide you with a extremely clear line and you will not need to concern yourself with the feared ‘dropped call’ when you're about to close that business deal. Also, it can be a good idea to have a regular land line for an emergency.
You might have questions about a cordless vs. corded phone. Our opinion is - have both!
You're best served to have a corded phone in at least one room in your home. Or at least, have it put away, but ready to be pulled out in an unexpected emergency. In case the power ever goes out, your cordless phone won't work, and your cell may not have a signal. The typical corded phone is your only option.
However when it comes to purchasing a cordless phone, you should decide on a few factors.
Single Line? Multiple Line?
Should you just have one line in your house and don’t think you will need more lines, all you should need is single line. In case your house has 2+ lines, you may want to consider a multi-line phone.
Which Frequency?
The range on most present day cordless phones will work in all levels of your household and into the yard for sure. In addition, you can get a digital phone which will offer you a much more protection from people snooping on your calls. Your cordless phone will have one of these frequency ranges:
• 1.9. GHz- This is the most popular one. It was singled out to be the frequency for phone users so there would not be a issue with wireless products in your house. 1.9 phones are on a frequency that is less crowded than the other options.
• 2.4 GHz - This is not as crowded as the old 2.4 GHz, but you now have Wi-Fi and some other wireless products on this frequency.
• 5.8 GHz - This is not as crowded as 2.4. This range is becoming very popular with new phones because they do not compete with Wi-Fi devices.
Among the best cordless phones that we have seen in our tests is this exceptional product from Panasonic.
