| 689402 | 2008-07-16 04:02:00 | What does it all mean? Consumer says you should have a DECT phone, but all the phones I look at online (looking at Panasonics) don't say if DECT or not. Though I know the one they tested and liked is. (KX-TG3032). And some digital phones are 1.8MHz, some 2.4 MHz. What's the difference in terms of functionality? Grateful for any clarification. |

| 689403 | 2008-07-16 04:05:00 | This (en.wikipedia.org) I'm using a Uniden Dect phone here. You just program any extra handsets on the main handset and then you can use the phones anywhere in a house. Just plug it into a power point Only disadvantage is, if you have a power cut you have no phone. So, have a normal phone handy |

| 689405 | 2008-07-16 05:31:00 | Again, for later info: 2.4 GHz allows DECT phones to use it, but also allows other devices on the same frequency, so there is a possibility of interference on this frequency. 1.8 GHz on the other hand is dedicated to cordless telephones, so if you have a 1.8 cordless phone you shouldn't get interference (unless your neighbours are really really close). |
