Cordless Wall Phones
| |
A cordless wall phone is a type of phone that you can use in your home or
office, but it is one that does not require a cord to be used.
Cordless wall phones all have stations. Usually, these stations are used to
store and charge the phone when it is not in use. These stations need to be both plugged into a
phone line, and also into a power outlet.
However, the phone itself connects to the phone line through the base
wirelessly, and can be moved around while talking. For example, you can take a cordless wall phone
with you into another room while talking, all without being tethered down by a cord.

Cordless wall phones definitely have their advantages and their
disadvantages, but in general, they are extremely convenient and easy to use.
First of all, cordless wall phones need to have a base that is plugged into both power and a
serviced phone line. This means that if the electricity goes out, you will not be able to use the phone. This is
one disadvantage of a cordless phone. Unlike a corded phone, it cannot run on straight phone lines alone.
Two, cordless phones have a limited range. They can be carried around conveniently while within
this range, but once you start to leave the “service” range, they begin to lose signal. They are not like cell
phones, which can go for miles without losing signal. Usually, the range on a cordless wall phone will be about 50
to 100 feet. If it goes over the range allowed from the base, you will lose signal and not be able to maintain the
call.

telephones do have several advantages, however. For one, they give you the service of a landline with
the convenience of cordless use. So, instead of being tethered down to one place, you can move around while still
utilizing your land line. Two, they are not very expensive. You can actually buy a cordless phone for just a little
more than you can a corded phone.

While it might be a good idea to have a corded phone on hand, a cordless phone is great to use on a day to day basis. Just remember to
replace it on the charging station after use, or you will find out that dead batteries do not work so well on a
cordless phone!
You can buy cordless phones just about anywhere corded phones are available. You can also find
them suitable for business and personal use. Business cordless wall phones may be more expensive than home phones,
but they are usually filled with extra features that are usable to a business, such as caller id and built in
answering machine systems.
If you have need of a cordless wall phone, you should definitely buy one. They are very
convenient, and have actually become the staple for home use whenever people use landlines. Landlines will never
completely disappear, even though cell phones have gotten very popular.
