Default Cordless Phone Frequency Question

The frequency bands allocated for cordless phones is limited. The
frequencies are divided up in to channels. The better models are
supposed to do a frequency check to see the best channel or exact
frequency to use that is not occupied.

I have 2 Panasonic 2.4 gHz phones and 2 others that are 900 mHz phones.
They can all be used, and not interfere with each other. Infact, I am in
a high-rise building and many people here have these phones.

I tried some of the lower cost phones, and found that I had interference
problems. I had to opt out for the more expensive models to get rid of
this problem. This has to do with how they manage their frequency
allocation when addressed to be used.

Apologies if this is the wrong NG for this inquiry, but despite having
done some searches, was unable to find a more appropriate one. If
there is a more appropriate group, plse advise.

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.
