Why the radio band matters for clear calls

Cordless phones talk to their base on one of several bands. DECT 6.0 uses 1.9 GHz, a band set aside for DECT phones, so Wi-Fi routers and microwave ovens do not interfere with it. Sets on 2.4 GHz share airwaves with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices and can crackle when the network is busy. The 900 MHz band penetrates walls better, which is why some long-range sets still use it. Range always depends on walls and floors, so treat a stated outdoor range as an upper limit.

Handsets, expansion limits and the cell-phone link

The handset count in the title is how many come in the box, while 'expandable' tells you how many the base can register in total. Extra handsets should be the model or series the maker lists for that base, so a spare handset listing ought to name your base. Bluetooth lets you pair a mobile phone so cell calls ring on the handsets, and an integrated answering machine lives in the base. Handsets run on either a proprietary rechargeable pack or standard rechargeable AAA cells, so note the battery type before replacing one.

Questions about Cordless Phones: DECT 6.0 Handsets and Base Sets

Does a cordless phone work in a power outage?
Usually not. The base station needs mains power to link the handsets to the line, so most sets go quiet in a blackout unless the base offers battery backup. On a traditional copper line, a basic corded phone makes a good emergency backup.
Can I add a handset from a different model?
Usually only within the same maker and series. Handsets register to a base through the DECT standard, but features such as the answering machine menu and shared phonebook may not work across models, so choose the handset the listing names for your base.
Why does my cordless phone crackle when Wi-Fi is busy?
That points to a 2.4 GHz set sharing airwaves with the router. A DECT 6.0 set on 1.9 GHz avoids the overlap. Moving the base away from the router and placing it high and central in the home also helps.
