Best Wireless - Cordless Telephones

The October 2008 issue of Consumer Reports says "Cordless models continue to improve, thanks to technologies such as Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. In our tests, DECT phones delivered much longer talk time on a charge. And interference with other devices isn't a problem because those phones use the 1.9-gigahertz (GHz) band. Other devices such as Wi-Fi networks use 2.4- and 5.8-GHz frequencies."
