My old cordless phone at home gave up the ghost....
So I am looking for suggestions on what to replace it with based on my
requirements...
Usability:
1) Must have - good battery
2) Must have - adjustable (loud) volume, as I have used some I can't hear at all
3) Must have - handset page function so I can find the darn thing
4) Must have - at least two handsets with separate charger bases for
the alternate handset(s).
5) Nice to have - intercom function between the handsets
6) Nice to have - headset jack on the handset (plus some way to clip
the handset to something like a belt)
7) Nice to Have - Speaker phone on the base
8) Not required - Caller ID (don't pay for it)
9) Not required - Integrated answering machine (already have a digital
answering machine)
Technical Specs:
Not a clue....
MHz? Recommendations?
Security/Encryption?
Analog/Digital?
Others?
Any suggestions from the Technocrati out there?
(Oh - should also be available in the GTA :)
