I think some people are missing the point. You can't throw your cordless phone in your pocket, go to your office, hotel or buddie's house, turn it on and get a signal. You can with a WiFi phone, however....

I don't know why people keep making the statement about range with wifi versus a cordless phone. I can easily get a good wifi signal when I'm over at my neighbors but can't get reception with our cordless (2.4GHz) phone. (Both receivers are at home...) It seems to me that the wifi range is at least as good as the phone range if not better.

Thanks for the tip on the SIP phones.

You get better range and battery life compared to a WiFi phone.

        asking questions about SIP phones and everyone else is talking
        about
        asterisk.  Sorry.
