Do you like using cordless phones?

Cordless phones, to me, are a great thing! I remember growing up and all we had was a wall mounted one and so if your wanted to talk you really couldn't go very far! Or you had to put it down and then come back. You're right about the battery. With our phone, I have to make sure it is plugged in (on the stand) every night or else it will be worthless in the morning.

Is there any brand you would recommend? I need to replace this one! The reception is really getting bad...almost as bad and the battery!

there's good and bad about something.

i use corded telephone.
good: i won't lose or forget to put it back
bad: limited range of the cord.

IF i use cordless phone,
good: i go anywhere and talk on it
bad: may misplace it and have to keep charging it and changing the battery.

if i have to choose, i would choose the corded one. haha.

Hi

I used to have cordless phones before and I never found it useful irrespective of their brand. It will be worse when they got an extension. I think corded phone is much better. Now I am using a corded phone, which is very good and I am using the same instrument for the past three years and still it is as clear as when it was new.

I dont use cordless phones. We used the corded phones. I think its the best so far.

I have two cordless phones - cos I talk a lot on the phone and like this if one battery dies I hook over to the other phone . I prefer the cordless because I can get on with other things at the same time and I don't have to be restricted to staying in one spot. Very often just before I do the washing-up I call a friends and we chat while I'm doing the dishes - multi-tasking is not only confined to the computer

dear lordwarwizard I fully agree with your views. In my residence I am having both types of phone i.e. fixed line and cordless. To use cordless is very convenient and you can maintain your privacy so that no one can listen to your chat. But I have experienced the demerits of cordless phone i.e. poor reception,battery life is less. Though I prefer cordless phone irrespective of difficulties.

I have a cordless phone and I love it. I also have a cell phone also so I can text my husband when he is away from home if we need to speak to one another about something. I hate talking on the phone though. I mainly have my phones in case of an emergency or because I have lovely dialup internet service and have to have one. I also use it in case I have to call a plce of business or something like that also.

We have a cordless phone. I think it works just fine. We did have to replace it once, but that's fine with me. The advantages greatly overshadow the disadvantages to me. A few hours is long enough time to chat. Good pacing-help there if one gets tempted.

I never touch the phone with the cord nowadays.It ropes me top a place and restrict my movements for sipping my coffee,writing a note or scratching any itchy part.And I hate it more because the cord gets in to knots and never is in its original neat shape.So I have cordless phones in my home.It has an extra use of reaching for that itchy part with its antennae too.

Oh please do not talk to me about cordless phones, I do not know what it is but we have no luck with them whatsoever. The first one we bought was ace, it did so much stuff and we had invested a little more money in it than I would have liked, but it was well worth it.

That ended up in a cup of orange courtesy of my nephew who had spotted it while I was not looking. So we then went back to the old phone but it was horrible not being able to walk around the house while gassbagging to my Mum, and I am on the phone for a good hour or more to my Mum so it was hard being stuck in one place.

We saved up and bought a new cordless one, this one was not expensive and was also on sale so we were pleased with our bargain. Only this phone seems to be haunted, it is always ringing and no one is ever there, it dials numbers up on its own, it beeps at you and the recent one is it will ring and there is no one there and then when you put it down and try and use it a little while later it gives an engaged tone and will not let us dial out! So once again we have reverted back to the old faithful and it is working perfectly! Best of all it is quiet again and no ringing every couple of hours.
