We are often bombarded with choice when it comes to technology. Looking for a new phone system can be difficult with so much variety on the market. It helps to have an idea of what exactly it is you are looking for in order to narrow your search down.
So what are the key things to consider when choosing a new cordless phone? Firstly there are two options; either digital or analogue. Most people now opt for the digital models which are known as Dect cordless phones. This is because they have far less interference on the line and offer a more secure connection. Analogue phones can be subject to interruption from other devices which are using the same frequency.
Looking at reliable online comparison sites and customer reviews can be a great way to help you make a decision on a cordless phone set. Various factors will be considered on such sites.
One of these is sound quality. First and foremost, you need to be able to hear the people that you are speaking to clearly. It is highly frustrating experience having a conversation on a cordless set which has poor sound. Problems which can be encountered are echoes and muffled, quiet sound. Look out for information on customer sites and consider not only the normal call quality but the speakerphone quality too.
Secondly, is the handset easy to use? It is all very well purchasing an all singing all dancing phone system with the latest flashy features, but if it’s a nightmare to work out the most basic of functions, what’s the point? The size of the handset is useful to consider. Some models offer handsets which are just as small as mobile phones, but these can be fiddly to control. Bigger buttons and screens are a lot simpler to deal with, especially for anyone who has a problem with their vision, so look out for this.
A decent answerphone is another thing that will be appealing to a lot of people. If you are away from the house a lot and receive a high number of calls you may want to opt for a system which allows you to limit the individual message time. This will free up more storage space, allowing more messages to be banked. Some systems even let you check your messages whilst you are away, which can be useful for people that travel a lot.
