[Electronics-talk] a high-quality cordless phone

[Darla Rogers]

	Good point, Andy; we have one of the Clascos which is upstairs for
the very reason you state; why they haven't considered a male voice, I'm not
sure.  I nearly always find a male voice easier to understand.

I have a Panasonic that I have had for years. Don't like the female voice on
the caller ID. Sometimes she is hard to understand, and on this model, the
number is not spoken. I use it in conjunction with a Clasco caller ID box,
which booms out the number.

Mine also has intercom, so I can call other handsets, but I think I should
have numbered them first; I don't think mine are interchangeable.
Or my husband is ignoring me. <giggle> Darla

Sherri,

We have had a Panasonic cordless phone for several years and have been happy
with the performance.  We actually use 5 handsets on it.  It has talking
caller-id built-in as well, and some functions talk but the menus themselves
are not accessible.  They are not perfect, but seem to be pretty good
phones.  
I do not have the exact model handy, but the odds are that the model has
changed anyway, and when I was looking they had a huge number of models that
basically had the same features but were different colors and included
different numbers of handsets.  One feature that this system has that I had
not even looked for is that if the power goes out, the base is automatically
powered by the batteries in the handset that is sitting in the base.  This
means I don't have to dig out an old phone whenever the power goes out.
There may be other kinds of battery backups now, though, but this is handy.


Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
