Default Wireless phone jack

The higher the frequency the phone uses, the greater the range and less

cordless phone, don't even bother with 900Mhz as there is too much use in
that band


There is no truth in this statement. Frequency does not equal range and
certainly does not equate to interference. There are lots of other
considerations.

900MHz is just old technologically. So there are not really any newer
phones being developed for it. There is no inherent flaw in 900MHz.

2.4GHz is nicer because it has newer technology. Its more recent. 5Ghz
is even better typically because the technology tends to be newer and
digital. It may even be mandated that 5GHz is reserved to digital, im
not sure.

But its the quality of the product that makes the most difference. And
the interference from other similar products in your neighborhood. Not
as much the frequency.



Another important consideration is that the newer higher quality digital
phones tend to have security features on them. Thus, the two ends of
the unit needs to be synched. I'm not sure how you will know that your
phone is in synch with its base without going out there daily to check.
