When going to buy a cordless phone you want to make sure you get one that is going to be what you want and not a cheap one because they usually have a lot of static or the battery dies fast. Here are a few tips:

• Good range-you do not want a cordless that turns to static if you are just a foot away from the base.
• Expandable-getting a cordless with the base and be able to have extensions for more than two or three rooms. Some have up to 10 extensions.
• One phone line-just have to plug in the base into phone line and the rest just plug into your outlet.
• Long off base battery life-look for phones that can be off the base for up to three days is great option.
