Best Cordless Phones

Back in the day, cordless phones were like smartphones to flip phones. They were the coolest thing in the nineties when people could suddenly talk on the phone without being tethered to a booth. What magic! Cordless phones, of course, have now given way to cell phones. Yet, these phones are still a useful gadget to have in homes or offices with landlines.

Cordless phones are a necessity for homes or offices with complex telephone networks. These phones allow the convenience of being cord-free with all the features needed to set up a voicemail and answering system. Cordless phones may not have cords, but they are still rooted to a place. If you ever lose your smartphone, you can use a cordless phone at home to ring the smartphone.

Cordless phones still have many useful applications that smartphones don’t. Smartphones are highly personal, while a whole family or an office can share a cordless phone without compromising privacy. Here is a list of excellent cordless phone choices for both home and work:

Why we like it: We love this cordless phone for the enhanced voice clarity it provides. There’s a cool tone equalizer feature installed so you can hear the other end much better.

This two-handset cordless phone has long been a favorite in homes. It’s a truly great addition to homes with people who love engaging in long and frequent phone conversations. It’s quite beautifully designed as well. But what you really get for your money is a wonderful set of features that you won’t find on any cell phone. First of all, we want to praise the wonderful long range of the cordless phones. You can take the cordless phone away from the base mount even as far as the backyard. Adding to the long range is excellent 6.1 clarity in voice.

Why we like it: You won’t find a cheaper cordless phone than this Motorola. You probably won’t find a more durable and reliable option either.

Motorola Dect 6.0 has a well-earned reputation. The brand is known for building highly durable and sturdy phones. You can drop a Motorola handset once, twice or six times and the phone will still very likely survive. Enhanced durability is not the only reason to get one of these cool phones. This cordless phone definitely sports a nineties throwback style, but the features included are undoubtedly modern. The handset only has one phone, so it’s best suited for smaller homes that don’t have multiple stories. But you can buy additional handsets to expand it up to 5.

The single handset purchase is also super affordable. You can buy this cordless phone for the same expense as a pair of earbuds. It’s that cheap. The phone has useful features like a backlit LCD display. You can see the dial and screen even at night without turning on the lights. It’s supported by DECT 6.0 tech, which reduces interference. The phones have 10 different ringtones you can select between. You can store up to 30 names on each handset. It has Caller ID of course.

It has a very clear LCD screen that displays things like date, time, Caller ID, signal reception, battery and so on. You can access call logs with date and time information. The button keys are wonderfully large as well. The keys are also backlit for easy dialing even in low-light conditions. Overall, this is a great product for cash-strapped homes.

Why we like it: This super cheap cordless phone has a stylish and modern look. Uniquely enough, the LCD displays are orange! You can definitely enjoy more with this cordless phone.

This was one of the grooviest looking cordless phones we have tested. The hardware has silvery casings while the LCD displays are bright orange. It definitely looks cool. However, looks are not the only things that made us love this cordless phone set. You get three handsets in one package. Each handset comes with its own charging base. The charging bases are sleekly designed to go well with modern home interiors. The operation was as easy as pie. Everything has large keys and large letters, so even your grandma can use this cordless phone without asking for instructions every five minutes.

It comes with the usual features like caller ID display, voicemail indicator, battery notification and so on. But we also found other features that are not so typical, such as the ability to transfer calls between each handset. It’s a cool feature that home users will love. When you answer a call downstairs, you can conveniently transfer the call to your mother upstairs without having to resort to yelling. There’s, of course, a fully-equipped answering machine that all home users definitely desire. We really liked how durable the handsets are as well. Each is made from plastic, so they are easy to clean as well.

[amazon fields=”B00BP7SW0C” value=”thumb” image_size=”large”]

[amazon box=”B00BP7SW0C” template= “horizontal”]

Why we like it: This slightly expensive cordless phone has five handsets and offers amazing features you don’t usually find in most cordless phone models.

Some of you might be unsatisfied with the cheap, two or three handset cordless phones on this list. They offer great features, but it might not be exactly what you need. If you are looking for a more expensive cordless phone with more handsets, then this Panasonic model may just be what you are looking for. It’s a bit more expensive but you get five handsets with each purchase. So it’s quite perfect for larger homes or small businesses. There are also additional features that you rarely find with cordless phones. Needless to say, we were quite impressed.

You can expect up to 10 hours of uninterrupted talk time on each handset with a single charge. That’s definitely more talk time that you want for a single call. You can sync a handset to your smartphone thanks to Link2Cell technology. That’s right; you can answer calls you get to your smartphone number on a cordless handset when you are at home. You also get text notifications and talking caller ID. There’s a noise reduction feature to use in noisy places. You can also get up to 18 minutes of call recording. What more could you possibly want?
