I think they all are good brands. I would go with the cheaper one, that way when it goes kapooey, just throw it away and buy a new one. We live in a throw away society, they don't make things to last anymore. They want it to go kapooey so we have to buy new. I trie to buy a new battery for my phone, it was cheaper to just buy a new phone, you got everything with it. Here in the States you can get a decent phone for $15 to 20. Name brand too.

I would suggest A Uniden cordless phone. I have a Uniden police scanner and I've had it a long time. It still works great.

Sweets, Just buy the cheapest that has the features you need because nothing is made the way it used to be.. Things are made to break so you have to keep buying.. We are living in the desposeable age.. xoxoxoxoxo

I have had very good luck with uniden....and they last. So I have not ventured into buying any other kind.....they might be as good but Uniden has been good for me.

I have had wonderful success with the GE 2.4 GHz cordless. I left it behind when I moved across country and bought another. They last for years--the one in AZ was about 5 years old and I never had any problems. It cost me less than $15 back then and I spent $20 on my newest one. It has an answering machine built in if you want to use it. If you're interested in it, I got it at Walmart and on the bottom of the base it says Thompson Inc. 27851GE1-B. I highly recommend it! (I tried a more expensive one and it was always running out of juice or malfunctioning)

I agree that things arent made like they use to be made....use to you could buy something and it would last you for years and years and now when you buy stuff you will be lucky if it last you the whole amount of a few months...and thats if you are just really lucky...I think thats how they make so much money is because they dont put much money into making the stuff and they still get paid the same amount for the product...and Iwould have to go with GE because I think that I have heard somewhere that htat is a better brand!

Those are good brands. I have a corded phone but not any of those brands. Our phone company provide us with the phone. I think 15 years on Panasonic is worth it. Some technologies are not made perfect at all even branded ones goes bad in a few years but the good thing about the branded ones is you get warranty for it. Here if we buy panasonic we get a lifetime guarantee. Don't you have that? Also with v-tech.

you are so right, phones are not made as well as they use to be,they just don't last as long...All the names you said or pretty good..Panasonic is a good one,and i would think Sanyo would be good.I have not had good luck with Atech,i am not saying they are bad, i am just saying that I have not had good luck with them..I really like the Uniden Phones,i have had really good luch with them..I don't want to steer you wrong and you end up getting a dud, but i have had good luck with the Uniden,and mine lasted for years,so thats all i can tell you..Stay away form Phillips and Bellsouth,they are sorry phones.I hope thos helps...

I'm not going to recommend a brand name to you since we just bought a cordless phone a few weeks ago. One thing a neighbor of mine used to do is buy her phone at Best Buy. I know you have some in Canada, hopefully near you. You pay an additional small fee for the warranty and you get to replace the phone free for a year. She used to replace hers every year this way. Worked out quite well for her...Whit

That is too bad. The only time I have had trouble so far with a cordless phone was when I didn't buy a Uniden. I haven't been able to break my DCT-646-T yet but I've only had it 2 years. I've never b roken a Uniden yet, but I do buy new ones periodically because of the newer features.

I have a GE cordless with the added feature of "speaker" phone which is wonderful for hands-free talking. I can crochet and talk at the same time. I've had this phone for a couple years. It still works just fine. It also has a feature of programming numbers, although I haven't used it yet.
