Buying a home phone means considering where and how you're going to want to use it. If you're looking for flexibility, portability and quality, chances are you're going to want to get a cordless phone.
Cordless phones can be set up in any room of the house, and the independent handset can be carried from one room to the next. Depending on the signal strength of the charging stand, you can even take it to a different floor or outside the house without worrying about dropping the call. Unlike with a cell phone or bluetooth device, this can make a cordless phone a more desirable option when you're making calls from home. Furthermore, by ditching the cords and removing the physical tether, you've got the freedom to roam while you talk so you can get things done and not be forced to stay in one place or cut short a conversation.
A cordless phone can also have a number of other receivers set up throughout the house. This means that multiple handsets and charging bases can be married to a single main dock - but you can charge them on any available unit. Additionally, you'll never have to worry about running through the house searching for a receiver again - you can sync three or more cordless phone cradles in various rooms of the house and have easy access for incoming or outgoing calls. Finally, because cordless phones use rechargeable batteries in their handsets, you can carry one with you while the others charge so you've always got a reliable phone line at the ready.
