If you’re looking to buy a new telephone to add to your landline
phone service, you need to seriously think about adding a cordless
phone. While a standard, corded phone will save you money, a
cordless phone provides many features that talkers won’t find on a
standard corded phone.
Mostly, and most obviously, you’ll be able to walk and talk with
a cordless phone. This seems really simple, and maybe unnecessary,
but how many times have you been caught doing something, like
cooking dinner, and had to answer the phone? A cordless phone makes
tasks like this so much easier.
Another feature that a cordless phone provides that corded
phones do not is the cordless phone system. This is great for a
single-family home, because it contains phones that can be placed
in multiple rooms. Not only can you walk from place to place, but
you’ll have a cordless phone in each room of your house that you
can answer. These phone systems usually contain one main phone,
complete with an answering machine, and as many other phones as
you’d like that can be placed throughout your home.
However convenient these systems are to use, they’re also
somewhat expensive. A normal cordless phone on its own can be
picked up for as little as $20. However, these cordless phone
systems can run you $100 or more, depending on how many handsets or
features they provide, as well as the brand.
Some of these cordless phone systems combine the best of both
worlds, with the main receiver being a wired phone complete with
caller ID and answering machine. Then, the rest of the phones are
cordless and require only the power base to recharge and can be
placed in any room.
Still, the most important thing will be the freedom you’ll have
to move about your own house. Many times, when people take phone
calls, they feel bogged down and can’t accomplish things they want
to finish. While a cordless phone may not solve all of these
issues, it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
