Buy a DECT phone - they operate in the 1.8GHz range.

or a 5.8ghz phone, I've heard they're decent, there's an article about it here:

Anyone used both, any comparisons?

I have used all there, DECT phones are fine for your normal house.

I am currently using 2.4's at home with a Wireless network and I am having no issues at all, and the best 2.4 phone for distance I have found to be Unidens 2315's. 5.8 offers better clarity (well thats the idea) over 2.4, althrough I found the range on the Uniden DSS7815's was lacking (specd at upto 800 within line of sight), and the 2315 which is specd at 600m to be better (without wireless that is). In saying that the Uniden 5.8's are really good, and the range is better than the Panasonics I have tried and the Vtechs.
