My question is concerning two cordless phones that I have in my home
on two different phone lines. I currently have two 2.4Ghz cordless
phones, one an AT&T for my home line and one a Panasonic for a
business line. I have experienced that, when using the AT&T phone, if
a call comes in on the Panasonic, the call on the AT&T phone becomes
unintelligible (sounds like a bad cell phone connection). I haven't
had occasion where the calls have come in the reverse order, so I'm
not sure if the Panasonic behaves the same way.

I'm considering replacing the Panasonic 2.4Ghz, so I would then have
one AT&T 2.4Ghz and one AT&T 5.8Ghz.

Does anyone know whether having the two different phones on different
frequency ranges (as opposed to my current phones which both operate
at 2.4Ghz) would eliminate this interference when I have simultaneous
calls? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. cmstahl

it should solve your problem, but be sure whatever phone you do get
has DSS, regardless of frequency. you may find a 900mhz DSS still,
this is the longest range phone ever produced, the comming "standards"
are from moderately shorter to less than 1/2 the that range, but offer
clearer channels.

i replaced my Vtech 900mhz DSS system (two phones on single base) with
a new 2.6gDSS unit. it has about 1/2 the range. the 5.2gDSS promise
better ranges but need lithium batteries. my old and new systems
both use ni-cads, and have long operating/stanby times (days).

Uniden's web site has a good page comparing the various freq phones.
the Vtech will not be scrapped, it is just too good to toss. may
sell or give to a relative, but will wait until i am sure about the
new system (lots of new features which inspired the upgrade). --Loren
