greetings, my elderly father spends alot of time at his workshop and barn
that are about 300 feet from the house.he has concerns about calling for
help whilst away from the house so i am looking for a cordless phone that
would cover that kind of range or better.does such a cordless phone exist?
stringing a land line is not really an option.
thanks, cj


I'd suggest that you go to www.consumerreports.org, pay the six dollar
monthly fee, and check their cordless phone reviews. A friend of mine just
replaced a couple of lousy cordless phones with one of the AT&T models, but
I don't know which ones. She said not all models from that brand fared well
in the tests, so you can't assume anything about any particular brand.
