The modern cell phone is a tiny work of art and science that dulls the impact of the cordless phone much more than it should. Long before people were strolling through Wal-mart speaking to people over a cell phone, there were home phones without cords that impressed everyone lucky enough to own one.

Cordless phones are bulky compared to a cell phone, and in the old days the distance with which they could operate was extremely limited. The freedom to move without a cord was only as great as the ability of the phone antennae to reach its home base. Few phones were capable of allowing people to venture far away from where the receiver made its home.

Still, cordless phones were a work of art in their own heyday, allowing excited household members to hold a conversation while cooking, making a bed, or feeding a dog, among other useful household chores. It was a nice thing to be able to venture to different areas of the home without having to worry about the disastrous tangles of a phone line, and though the wizardry of the cordless phone is a thing of the past, people remember it fondly.

The cordless wasn’t without its troubles. There were times when cordless phones would pick up phone conversations from other phone users, and other times when radio music could be overheard during even the most serious of conversations. Today’s cell phones aren’t immune to these problems but it was particularly common for the cordless phones of yesteryear to inspire complaints about these things.

A few of the technical aspects that you can study about the cordless phone include the frequency on which they operate, channels that can be selected, and overall construction of the phone’s antennae, which varied and varies. The cordless phone is still available for sell and is used for office work at times, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to take over the throne of phones any time soon. With the popularization of the cell phone, a “cordless” phone that can be taken anywhere, anytime, the home cordless phone is simply another home phone. Still, it has its charms even now in this modern era.
