You are asking a very generic question, and I'm gonna give a very generic answer. I stick with Uniden 900 MHz cordless phones. The higher freqs. give longer range, but for me, are more prone to interference and sound terrible. There are soo many variables, model numbers change quickly, and I don't have a Frys to inspect their product offerings. This is a great phone that can sometimes be found for $10.00.
Hope this helps.....a little.

None taken. This is exactly the type of thinking marketing depts. love. I still prefer tubes in my amplifiers also. The higher frequencies claim to travel farther, which I don't need, and for me, have been prone to interference and have horrible sound quality.
Noobtastic, unless you have 2 seperate phone lines entering you house, you don't need multi-line phones. How about the Uniden CAXI5198? It's not digital, but I usually prefer analog for the sound quality.

I've had several VTech and Sony phones and my experience with them was terrible. For the past several years I and many friends and family members have bought Uniden phones straight from the Uniden site. I personally won't use any cordless phone that isn't scrambled. Conversations over an analog phone can be picked out of the air easy as your favorite radio station - very important if you use any interactive automatic banking or credit card services.

Also, I've been using a digital 900MHz for years and the quality is excellent. I never use it more than 50 feet from the base so range has never been an issue for me.

well i bought 2 uniden wireless phones from costco, but niether one has an answering machine.

We have an existing at&t cordless phone that has an answering machine, we should we could hook up the uniden phone to it but I have
not clue how. the cordless phone an answer machine share the same base, and I dont know how I would share the phone cable or re-route the single. oh well, i think im going to return the phones and get a cordless phone with answering machine and a corded phone without one, or vice versa.

Preferable the cordless phone having the answering machine being its a lot more convienent.
