Selecting the Correct Cordless Phone

By Rachel Snowdon

In the office and home as technology makes them more reliable and cheaper cordless phones are becoming more common. Since the 1960s the technology for cordless phones has been around, however domestic models were first introduced in the 1980s.

Cordless phones at first between the handset and base used an analogue signal so quality and range was not great. These phones did also tend to have an aerial that extended out of the top so were quite large. The first cordless phones had another downside as they were also very expensive as well.

Cordless modern day phones are now all Digitally Enhanced Cordless Technology which stands for DECT. Basically this means cordless phones have instead of the old analogue signal a digital one. This gives enhanced range in which the phones can be used and clarity to the calls.

At nearly as much as 200 a time at first DECT phone models were very expensive. Nowadays however cordless DECT phones are now purchased from as little as 15 each.

The size that has reduced dramatically is another change that has happened to cordless phones. An extending aerial with huge battery compartments are things handsets no longer require.

Cordless phones with a variety of different features and shapes are now produced by manufacturers such as Panasonic, BT and Siemens. Handsets even having wireless headsets with Bluetooth and weatherproof capabilities are now available.

As technology gets better and prices reduce many consumers purchase extra cordless handsets with phones. The living room or bedroom are just some of the places these phones can be located. People can then communicate freely with calls made between the phones.

In fact if you go into most peoples homes nowadays you will rarely find a corded phone in use. The majority of people have now converted to cordless phones as there preferred choice. However it is always wise to have a corded phone as back up in case of a power cut. - 31834
