Hi!

I am considering buying some new cordless phones with the caller-ID
and answering features. *Besides Consumerrrs Reports, does anyone
here have any experience repairing cordless phones, and which
brand(s) do they consider most reliable and/or repairable?

I'd cast my vote for Panasonic.

I still have an old 49MHz "Easa-Phone" cordless phone that works as
well as the day it was made. It's had several new batteries over the
years, and one new antenna for the handset. Other than that, it has
required no repair.

I also have some of their newer cordless phones, covering all of
900MHz, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. The 900MHz phones are kitchen phones and
see the most use of any of them. They've been dropped, one was rained
on overnight and other Bad Things have doubtlessly happened to both of
them. Both handsets look slightly rough and one is missing its battery
cover, but they're *still* working flawlessly.
