Cordless Phone Comparison

Thanks to DECT 6.0 technology cordless phone comparison has become easier in recent years. The latest phones all use the same cordless phone technology. They are DECT 6.0 phones. As a consequence they also use the same 1.9 GHz cordless phone frequency.

In the past consumers had to weigh up the pros and cons of different cordless phone frequencies when attempting to compare cordless phones. DECT 6.0 phones have now superseded these earlier technologies.

Why DECT 6.0 Phones?

DECT is a digital communication standard that offers benefits including:

  • Excellent cordless phone range
  • Increased battery life
  • Eliminates interference from WiFi networks
  • Low power consumption
  • Cheaper to manufacture
  • While many retailers still stock 5.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz and even 900 MHz phones, they are no longer manufactured in significant quantities. Once inventories are cleared they will disappear forever.

    The Best Cordless Phones

    It would be a mistake to assume that all DECT 6.0 cordless phones are the same. Each of the major brands has one or more niches in which has a competitive edge.

    At the other end of the spectrum are Vtech phones. They are well made, but basic cordless phones. The Vtech CS6219-2 is one of the most popular cheap cordless phones. Another segment where Vtech cordless phones are strong is in the use of Bluetooth technology. The Vtech DS6321-3 is not only one of the best Bluetooth cordless phones, it's also one of the cheapest.

    Two Line Cordless Phones

    As prices have fallen 2 line cordless phones have become increasingly popular as cordless home phones. Uniden phones have always been the top rated cordless phones in this niche. The DECT4096 continues the tradition.

    The Best Cordless Phone Brands

    We are all influenced by brand names in our buying decisions, however the differences between brands are sometimes more imagined than real. Uniden and Vtech manufacture phones that are sold under many brand names e.g. Vtech manufactures AT&T cordless phones and Radio Shack cordless phones are actually Uniden phones. Panasonic cordless phones are the exception, they continue to be manufactured directly by Panasonic and that's unlikely to change.
