Cordless Phones

The cordless phone I have is a BT branded digital job. It's absolutely useless. We've moved to a house that has thick walls, which have rendered it worse than useless! It's meant to have a range of up to 100m (line of sight), but starts to lose signal strength after about 5m. Any advice on phone's with greater signal strength/range.

Regards, Ian.

DECT phones don't have a great range but you can buy 'repeaters' which will double your range.

I had trouble with BT analogue cordless phones going belly up -- 2 different sets and types in the end I decided the quality was lower than whale poo.

We had a BT digi cordless and it kept playing up, speaking to a BT engineer, found out that it was the same model as the ones BT gave free with new lines and the engeneers spent a lot of there time just replacing the phones.

Curently use an old faithful anolog, but even that is not infalable, we also have an old rotory dial job (you know the sort that come in a hideous colour of green plastic) that works in any conditions, particualy when theres a power cut.
