I've owned many cordless phones over the years, including some of the
newest 5.8 ghz and 2.4 ghz phones. Obviously, some work better then others. However, I've noticed a failing among ALL of them, maybe others have noticed the same. When you are more than just a short distance from the base unit, these phones all work fine as long as you are not moving, i.e. standing still. If you start to move, the signal will begin to break up. I have a retail location that necessitates being about 150 to 200 feet from the base unit, and all of the newer phones that I've tried do this. They are unusable in my situation, because I have to move around while talking. I have an older Uniden exs9110 that I bought maybe 4-5 years ago, it's a 900mhz phone with DSS, it doesn't have this problem. It's the best phone I've ever had, it has a very long range, I can walk a block away, moving, and it keeps the signal very strong. None of the phones I've tried in the last year (and I've tried many) will do this, not even the 900 mhz units I've seen. The ones that come the closest are the Panasonic units with dual base antennas, but they are still way behind performance to the old Uniden. I have had other phones in the past besides the Uniden, they were all 900mhz units, DSS, and they ALL did better than ANY of the newer units. If anyone knows of a current-production unit that will perform as well as my old Uniden, I'd really appreciate knowing what it is. Please send me mail to: thanks Dana |

I have some Siemens 2.4GHz spread-spectrum phones that worked great! I've
since dumped my land line all togeather. The wife, and I just use our own cell phones. Bill Crocker "Dana" wrote in message om...

I also have the uniden 9110 and I agree it is a very good phone maybe
the best I've ever had. I am going to look into the panasonic gigarange that sounds like a great phone. Won't be long before scanners go up to 2.4 gigs and they will move to higher ranges don't you think? (Jerry Greenberg) wrote in message . com... Panasonic makes a phone called the Gigarange series. These are about the best I have seen in consumer cordless phones. There are also industrial cordless phones that work with a system. These are the ones that you see in hospitals, and large department stors for the employees to use while they are working. The industrial phone systems are very expensive, but very effictive in their performance. Consult your local phone company about industrial cordless phone systems, or a phone installation company. As for the life of these phones, they all fail easily when dropped. Many of the users drop them often, thus causing damage. With a lot of use, the keypad may also wear out. The higher end phones are servicable by the manufacture, but they will charge for this. If you are a single user in a small business, you may find it cheaper over the long run to use only a cell phone for your business. This way, if you are in a good cell phone reception area, you will not have this problem. If you look at the cost of a very good industrial phone set, verses a discent cell phone plan including the cell phone, the cell phone plan may work out cheaper for you in the long run, and be more versitile. Also, in most places the cell phone would be a good tax write-off as a business expense, thus having a more reduced cost. If you have a cell phone already, then simply put a call forwarding service on your land business line. Then have all the business calls forwarded to the cell phone.

I have a Panasonic 2.4GHz. It's three years old, so I'm not sure what
the current model would be. It's from the GigaRange Extreme line. http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp...roupId =11107 I have 2 acres, and I can be anywhere on my property, or even at the neighbor's house, without any loss of signal at all. My wife has had the same phone in her home office for the same length of time, and the signals have only crossed two or three times in those three years. When the phone dies, I won't hesitate to buy another one. |

Even better: we were at Costco today, and picked up a new Panasonic
2.4GHz phone (Model KX-TG2382) that includes two extra handsets, each with its own charging station. Total package was $150. |
