1/24 I'd like to upgrade my 15 year old cordless phone which is still using
40 something megahertz. Should I get a 2.4GHz digital phone or
a 2.4GHz DSS (digital code hoping) phone? Which one is more secure,
has a better quality, range, etc? By the way I also have a cell phone
but the quality (clarity, lag, etc) is still inferior to a land based
phone. Thanks!
\_ How about a 5Ghz phone, since 2.4Ghz phones have been known to
interfere with 802.11b wireless routers (in case you have one)?
\_ No one is listening to your boring phone calls. Security should
be the last reason you choose one phone over another.
\_ Just a note: frequency has little to do with quality here, or
even range. Go for 900 Mhz, avoid the radiation and
interference.
\_ Another note: The Panasonic handsets heat up with 2.4 GHz (and
probably 5 GHz). The 900 MHz one does not, and has great battery
life. You probably get better range with 2.4 or 5. As far as
quality, 900 is fine -- if you notice clicking about 10-20% of
the time, just rock the switch to the left a few times to change
to another channel. I've never heard any interfering conversations. |
