Buying Guide for Cordless Phones

Buying Guide for Cordless Phones

No signal? You have a landline phone! 

Let's look at their main features and which ones you should pay more attention to. 

Main Features

1. Number of Handsets

This shows the number of devices included in one package. For example, if you want to always have one device in the living room and one in your bedroom, choose a set with 2 devices together.

2. Battery Life

Check the talk time and standby time. 

With modern phones you won't face any problems, as most of them offer you from 12 to 18 hours of continuous talk time

Of course, the more the better, especially if you're one of those people who often forget to put it back on its base.

3. Screen

If you want your landline to be as upgraded as possible, choose a cordless phone with a large, color screen.

If you don't care, prefer a phone with a monochrome screen as it will be more economical.

In any case, make sure the screen has good lighting (backlight) so you can easily see who's calling you even in the dark!

4. Language 

Most phones have menus in Greek, but check the product features to confirm! 

5. Special Features

Check out features you probably already know and maybe already have on your smartphone, but for cordless phones they are not always a given!

Speakerphone: Want to talk while doing chores? With the speakerphone you don't need to hold the handset! 

Ability to Connect Multiple Handsets: The number of handsets that can be connected to the charging base, so you can have a handset in every room with just one charging base. 

Bluetooth: Ability to wirelessly connect to a device that also has Bluetooth, such as Bluetooth handsfree, portable speakers, etc.

Caller ID: See on the screen who is calling you at any moment

Eco Mode: Energy saving and reduced radiation when not in use.

Call Blocking: Ability to block calls from unwanted numbers.

Large Buttons: Vision problems or just want more comfort? Prefer phones with large buttons!

Answering Machine: Can't pick up at that moment? The call is connected to the answering machine! 

What will you use it for? 

Check the features you should pay more attention to, depending on how you plan to use it.

For parents

If you want to gift a cordless phone to your parents, choose a set with 2 handsets, so they can always have a phone close by.

From the extra features, speakerphone, caller ID, and call blocking for unwanted numbers will definitely be useful to them!

For seniors

Older people definitely need a phone with large buttons and screen, so they can clearly read the numbers. Also, speakerphone, caller ID, and ideally menus in Greek!

For tech lovers

If technology is your thing and you want it to show even in your cordless phone at home, choose one with a color screen, Bluetooth connection, eco mode and as many extra features as possible.

Don't forget! There can often be a difference in a product, based on its overall features and construction. Before you decide, read other users' reviews to see their opinions too!
