I just wanted to let anyone who is in the market for a new phone that I found a site that has the Uniden TRU8865-2 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Speakerphone for $69.99 + $5.00 for S&H. This is a refurbished unit, but the price is right. 
Here is the link: http://www.woot.com |

If you want that deal, you have to get it quickly. Woot.com has some good prices on stuff, but they only sell one item at a time, and it changes daily. (well, this is a Friday item, so it stays up all weekend...) |

You may use whatever phone you would like. I never stated that you could or could not use any particular type of phone. I am not sure why you would think that. |

sorry if it sounded any other way...I was just being paranoid and since I know NOTHING about technology, I thought we would need that as a minimum....
on the other hand, I had been looking to upgrade for a long time and this did sound like a good deal...hence I asked! |

Avoid 2.4GHz phones if you have a WiFi network. They tend to interfere with each other. 900MHz and 5.8GHz phones don't have that problem.
(The phone in this thread is a 5.8GHz, so it should be fine) |

Or just move them away from each other, three feet at the very least. |

And make sure they are using different channels.  |

Some of the 2.4Ghz phones will wipe out the entire WiFi (802.11) frequency when they're running. I've noticed it mostly with analog spread-spectrum 2.4Ghz phones, but still bad... |
