Not sure if this is the best place for this, but since I'm only interested in DECT because it won't kill my wi-fi network, I suppose this'll have to do. (mods please move the thread as you see fit)
My questions concern conflicting information I've found at different retailers and even the maunufacturers website about this phone Panasonic KX-TG1811NZS
On the Panasonic site it says Maximum number of handsets is 1.
But over at Leemings they say it can handle up to 6. Of course the salesman I spoke to instore at Leemings said it wasn't a DECT phone, and it doesn't say DECT anywhere on the box. Over at DSE they say it IS DECT even tho it doesn't say so on the box, because it says so in their system and their almighty system is never wrong.
So now I'd like to know, generally...
1) do ALL 1.8Ghz phones use DECT?
2) if not, does it even matter to me, regarding wi-fi interference?
3) can ALL DECT phones handle multiple handsets with one base station / phone plug?
4) does make and model of phone make a difference for this multiple handset deal? Like could I add, say, a Uniden DECT phone to a Panasonic DECT phone and base-station network if I wanted to?
and more specifically...
5) who should I believe regarding the specs of the phone I mentioned above.
6) has anyone tried that phone, is it any good etc?
Basically I want to get a single cordless phone that won't kill my wi-fi, and I quite like the idea of being able to add extra handsets in the future if need be. I don't care about built in answering machines and speed dial and all of that other rubbish, just a phone that my fiancee can use -> dial the number -> talk -> hang up -> easy. The less buttons the better. And cheap!
Please help. It's all so confusing!
cheers,
Jeff
