Panasonic - (KX-TG1032S) Phone —
We bought the Panasonic KX-1032S as a replacement for our old Panasonic cordless phone which has worked reliably since 1993 ! We needed a more modern design to work with our internet telephone service provided by MagicJack (a matchbox-size device that plugs into a USB jack on your computer and uses your high-speed internet to make phone calls).
Here's the reason: We have a couple of desktop computers plus a laptop that we move around so we installed a wireless router. Now, the wireless router happens to work at about the same frequency as our old Panasonic cordless phone (2.4GHz) and that caused some interference/static noise when trying to make phone calls. To overcome this occasional static noise we bought the new Panasonic KX-1032S which works at a different frequency (1.9GHz) and is interference-free (well, almost!)
These new Panasonic handsets (we got the 2-handset version but you can get up to a 5-handset version I think) have good, clear sound and the battery seems to last a good long time, too. Re-charge time is reasonable, too. There are a couple of "dead spots" around our house where reception is a bit rough, but overall it's good. We can go outside and walk around the yard and reception is fine. Th little display window on the handset is easy to read so you can see who is calling or to look up someone's number. Speakerphone is very useful - good clear sound when you put the phone down on a table so you can talk hands-free, and the caller can hear you clearly, too.
Hope these new phones last as long as our old one did!
