My old cordless is kaput. It was 2.4 GHz and got static near the microwave, so I won't really miss it. We are thinking about a wireless computer network in near future, and should buy the new phone (with answering machine) with that in mind too.
I had assumed that 5.8 GHz would be the natural/only choice. However, some research showed up a new technology called DECT that operates at
1.9 GHz.I would greatly appreciate hearing your opinion on which one, 5.8 GHz or 1.9 GHz, is more likely to coexist peacefully with the wireless and the microwave?
Non-computer question: I was thinking of a Panasonic, just habit and positive experience but not necessary. However, Panasonic's answering machine doesn't *seem to* tell you how many messages you have in the inbox. At least the pictures I looked at didn't show any obvious LCD for that purpose. Can anybody recommend a good phone, any brand, which will show how many messages there are in the box? Thanks.
