Selecting the Correct Cordless Phone

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.

The first cordless phones used an analogue signal between the handset and base so range and quality was not great. Also these original phones did tend to be quite large and had an aerial that extended out of the top. Another downside to the first cordless phones was that they were also very expensive too.

Cordless modern day phones are all now digitally enhanced cordless technology or DECT for short. This means that basically the cordless phone has a digital signal instead of the old analogue one. This enhances the clarity and range this gives to where the phones in use.

At first DECT models were very expensive with phones costing nearly as much as 200 a time. However nowadays DECT cordless phones can be purchased from as little as 15 each.

Another change that has happened is that the size of cordless phones has reduced dramatically. Handsets no longer require an extending aerial and huge battery compartments either.

BT, Panasonic and Siemens are just some of the cordless manufacturers who produce phones in a variety of features and shapes. Bluetooth handsets with wireless headset capabilities are now available and some models even being weatherproof.

As prices reduce and technology gets better many consumers can now purchase phones with extra cordless handsets included. These phones can then be located in other rooms around the home such as the living room and bedroom. Calls can then be made between the phones so people can communicate freely.

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.
