Best 900 MHz Cordless Phone
Big Button Cordless Phones for the Elderly and Hard of Hearing

If cordless phone range is important then a 900 MHz cordless phone is a good solution. For this reason they are still popular with people living on large properties in rural areas. On the other hand they are susceptible to interference and eaves dropping, which explains why they have been superseded by DECT 6.0 phones.

Best Long Range Cordless Phone

Until recently 900 MHz phones were the best long range cordless phones. They first appeared in 1990 when the FCC allocated the 900 MHz frequency. The cordless phones of that era used analogue technology, which meant that security was poor and multiple handsets were not an option.

While the DECT 6.0 technology employed in the great majority of cordless phones can't match the range of 900 MHz phones, Panasonic's latest phones employ an enhanced version. DECT 6.0 Plus achieves nearly twice the range of standard DECT 6.0 phones and delivers greatly improved call clarity. Users requiring even greater range can add one or more range extenders.

Scanning Cordless Phones

If secure communication is a concern then it's advisable to avoid phones that use 900 MHz cordless phone frequencies. Almost anyone equipped with a cordless phone scanner can tap into your telephone conversations. Scanning cordless phones calls is much more difficult in the case of DECT 6.0 cordless phones as they employ a technology that encrypts communication and requires sophisticated tools to crack.

Phones for Elderly People

900 MHz phones are also popular with the elderly. Generally they don't have a lot of complicated features as found on the latest cordless digital phones. They are also sought out because they are often a big button cordless phone with features that make them ideal phones for the hard of hearing.
