Cordless Phone Reviews and Ratings

Best Big Button Cordless Phone
GE Lifestyles Series vs. Uniden EZi2996

In the view of a growing number of people the best cordless telephone is a robust big button cordless phone. They are frustrated by the latest generation of slim-elegant handsets, as their densely packed keys cannot be accessed without engaging 2 or 3 others in the process.

Cordless telephones are getting slimmer and smaller. Apparently the manufacturers feel a need to blur the line between cell phones and cordless phones. We think they have got it wrong. In our experience people would rather use a larger easily gripped handsets than struggle holding an elegant but uncomfortable cell phone look-a-like to their head.

Uniden EZi2996 Big Button Caller ID Cordless Phone

The good news is that there are still a few big button cordless phones to choose from. Our favorite is a Uniden cordless phone - the EZi2996. It's the latest Uniden phone to address the issue and achieve high ratings in the process. It's an easy to use DECT 6.0 cordless phone with digital answering machine. In addition to all the core features that we expect from a cordless phone it's got a few extras that set it apart from the rest:

  • It's an amplified cordless phone - 20db audio boost
  • Talking caller ID telephone - announces callers
  • Do not disturb key - routes calls to answering machine
  • Expandable to 6 handsets
  • Handset locator
  • Big buttons
  • Large easily read display

We are also impressed by the feel of this phone. It's easy to hold and unlike many others that we have road tested, it's a rugged cordless phone that will withstand a decent amount of rough and tumble. While Uniden was obviously targeting older cordless phone users, we have no doubt that it's a practical cordless phone system for people of any age group.

GE - Lifestyles Series

The GE cordless phone is more basic than the Uniden phone, but the Lifestyles Series is popular and users rate it highly. Our impressions are that it's not as robust and sound quality is less impressive. It's positive features include a back lit keypad and a visual ringer.

Note that this GE phone doesn't incorporate an answering machine.
