I know before I type this that it may be a stupid question but I honestly don't know the answer. I have a dual handset cordless phone in my house. Now my daughter has a phone jack in her room and would like to get a phone. Anyways my question is this if I go out and buy another cordless phone (a single one) but different brand will it interfere with the ones we already have???

I can't see any reason why it would. We have what would now be termed an old-fashioned push-button telephone plugged into the kitchen jack. There is no call display or anything, just a plain phone. Then we have a set of 3 cordless. There isn't any interference so I don't see why getting a different cordless phone would make a difference. The features may not work together. For example, when one of us is on one of the cordless phones the display says "line in use". But if someone were on the phone in the kitchen, it doesn't say that. You'd be using a phone with a different base so it wouldn't jive but shouldn't interfere as people have many different types of phones in their houses and they don't interfere with one another (for example a superstar who has a 15 bedroom home which probably has at least 20 different phones in it ).

Yeah I have an "old" LOL push button phone in the kitchen too and no it doesn't effect the cordless ones. I knew a regular phone wouldn't I just wasn't sure if having 2 cordless phones (different makes) would interfere with each other as far as a signal goes. I have to pick her up a phone and now a days the cordless phones are so cheap I figure why not go that route.
