The Best Cordless Phones
2010 Cordless Phone Review

The best cordless phones are made by three and at most four companies. They include Panasonic, Vtech and Uniden. They also make phones that are sold under other brand names. For example ATT cordless phones have been manufactured by Vtech for over a decade.

While most brands offer a full range of products, they all have strengths and weaknesses. Each has one or more niches in which it makes the best cordless telephones. Our analysis of cordless phone reviews indicates where these companies have their greatest strengths:

  • Panasonic - high end cordless phones
  • Vtech - low-cost phones and Bluetooth cordless phones
  • Uniden - 2 line cordless phones and waterproof phones
  • Best Panasonic Cordless Phones

    Panasonic has a winning strategy. It's the overall market leader. In many segments it has the top rated cordless phones. They have features exclusive to Panasonic. Not just cordless telephone headset jacks, belt clips, rechargeable AAA batteries, backlit keypads ... but also:

  • Panasonic talking caller ID
  • Caller ID blocking
  • Silent mode
  • Choicemail or visual voicemail
  • Panasonic's 2010 cordless phones (KX-TG7500, KX-TG6500 and KX-TG4000) have increased the gap even further. In addition to the above, they address two other issues that no manufacturer had seriously tackled until now.

    Range Extender

    Long Range Cordless Phones

    Problems with signal strength and blind spots have been experienced since the first cordless telephone. DECT 6.0 technology overcame many of the issues, but Panasonic has now released an advanced implementation (DECT 6.0 PLUS). It more than doubles cordless phone range and significantly improves voice clarity. Users with "massive" homes can go one step further and add one or more Panasonic range extenders.

    Cordless Wall Phones

    Until now there hasn't been a genuine wall mount cordless phone. Panasonic has finally come up with a low profile base unit with a reversible pedestal. It's an elegant but simple solution that works well.

    Panasonic doesn't make the cheapest cordless phones, but overall they are the best cordless phones.

    Best Vtech Cordless Phones

    Cheap Cordless Phones

    Vtech has mastered the science of manufacturing high volume low cost consumer electronics. Vtech phones are sought out by price sensitive consumers looking for a reliable and attractive phone at a competitive price.

    The Vtech CS6219-2 and CS6229-2 are the top rated cordless phones in this segment.

    Best Bluetooth Cordless Phone

    Bluetooth Cordless Phones

    Vtech was one of the first cordless phone manufacturers to attempt integrating DECT 6.0 and Bluetooth technology. Others have tried, but the results have been mixed. Vtech phones set the benchmark in this space.

    The best Bluetooth cordless phone is the Vtech DS6321-3. It provides the most comprehensive range of features and has few if any issues in pairing with any Bluetooth cell phone.

    Best Uniden Cordless Phones

    Uniden telephones are some of the most popular cordless home phones, but they are under serious competitive pressure. They are almost identical to every other DECT 6.0 cordless phone. The exceptions are two niches in which Uniden phones stand out as the best cordless phones.

    Best 2 line cordless phone

    Two Line Cordless Phones

    Uniden didn't release a DECT 6.0 2 line cordless phone until late 2009. The DECT4086 was keenly anticipated but scored poor reviews. It's successors the DECT4096 and DECT4066A have redeemed the brand. They are top rated cordless phones at a highly competitive price point.

    Best Waterproof Phone

    The only genuine waterproof cordless phones are Uniden phones. They will even withstand total immersion. There are no better pool phones or rugged cordless phones for use in the garden, garage ...

    Cordless Phone Frequencies

    Don't agonize over choosing the right cordless phone frequency. The best cordless phones are DECT 6.0 phones. Forget about 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and even 5.8 GHz phones. They have been superseded by DECT 6.0 technology. In the U.S. this means they use the 1.9 GHz frequency that the FCC has reserved for voice communication.

    There is obviously no one best cordless phone that everyone can agree on. We have listed below some of the more common features that people look for in the best cordless telephones.
