Ann I use Uniden phones. http://www.unidendirect.com/itemdetail.cfm?item=EXI3226&tabid=1
This is the newest version of the one that I use. Loves on this unit are the ringer turn off. Want to take a nap and not be bothered let the answering machine take the call. Great feature my wife loves it once I showed her how easy and restful it was. She hates to be awaken by the phone ringing. You can add phones to the base unit and have a room monitor system set up. Mine has a speaker phone in the hand set and the base station we use this all the time to talk to relatives out of town who call so everyone can hear the conversation. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anne Cartwright Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 10:45 AM To: LCS ListServ MacGroup Subject: [MacGroup] cordless phone Does anyone have a recommendation for a cordless phone. I'm returning the second one I've bought this year. Problem is that it is very difficult, sometimes impossible to hear over it. And I am standing right by its base station. The old one i had from Radio Shack was perfect. Easy to hear over, able to hold nine or ten numbers in memory for quick dialing. And you could plug in headphone for handless use which is what I want a cordless phone for. I use it when I call computer tech for help. I'm not looking for any bells and whistles, just want to be able to hear the person on the other end. Both of my failures had a dial to increase the volume. And it worked: to increase the volume of my voice (even get reverberations my husband could hear on the floor above), but did nothing to increase the volume of the incoming voice. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
