Best Cordless Home Phone
Our Short List from the Top 3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phones

We attempted to nominate the best cordless home phone, but instead arrived at a shortlist of three DECT 6.0 phones. They are all excellent, but very different from one another. Each has unique features that many of us must have, but many others don't want. Hence the final call on the best home phone is yours. Here's our short list:

Panasonic KX-TG1032S / KX-TG1033S

It's the most popular DECT 6.0 cordless phone of all time. It outsells every other cordless home phone by a country mile. There are many reasons for the success of the KX-TG1032S, but they boil down to the fact that it's well designed and does the things that most people want from a cordless phone.

Key Features

  • Exceptionally long talk time - up to 17 hours.
  • Easy to use big button cordless phone.
  • Handsets incorporate a standard head phone jack.
  • Handset speaker phones.
  • Uses regular rechargeable AAA batteries.
  • Answering machine controlled via cordless handsets.
  • Visual and audible notification of calls and messages.

While the KX-TG1032S isn't short of features, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles. That's apparently OK with a lot of people who would rather not pay for features they won't use. They simply want an easy to use mid-range cordless expandable phone.

There are two models - the KX-TG1032S has 2 handsets and the KX-TG1033S has 3 handsets. Both are expandable up to six handsets.

The Panasonic KX-TG6445T

It's the best selling high-end cordless home phone. It's light years ahead of the competition. Consider these features:

  • Panasonic talking caller ID - and text to speech technology
  • Call ID Block - the ability to selectively call block a phone number.
  • Silent mode - individually controls the ringer on each handset.
  • Handset locator.
  • Very large LCD display facilitates menu driven operation.
  • Uses regular rechargeable AAA batteries.

The KX-TG6445T is arguably the best cordless phone that money can buy. It has features that are not yet available on phones manufactured by Panasonic's competitors. However, not everyone needs a high end phone which explains the continuing success of the more basic KX-TG1032S.

Plantronics CT14 Cordless Headset Phone

Plantronics CT14

The Plantronics CT14 is the most popular hands free cordless phone. Plantronics well and truly owns this rapidly growing niche. It maybe great to lay back and have a long phone conversation with a friend or family member, but many of us need to keep working while we speak. If you're a busy person the best cordless home phone for you is a CT14 cordless headset phone.

The CT14 is without doubt the most compact hands free phone. It can be tucked into a pocket or clipped onto a belt. You can them move freely within a 300 foot radius from a base station while continuing to work with both hands.

DECT 6.0 Technology

All three of the above candidates are DECT 6.0 phones, which means they are immune to interference from WiFi networks and most other electronic devices found around the home. Furthermore because DECT encrypts voice communication, it's almost impossible to eavesdrop or scan phone conversations over these wireless networks.
