Cordless phones.(Product Updates)(Buyers Guide)
WHAT'S NEW
The first of a new class. The VTech VT5831 is the first cordless phone we've tested to use the 5.8-gigahertz (GHz) band. It's a 2.4/5.8-GHz phone that transmits on one frequency band and receives on the other. You can expect to see more phones using the 5.8-GHz band in the months to come.
The VTech uses digital spread spectrum (DSS) technology, which provides tighter security for calls than analog or regular digital phones. Our prior tests showed that 2.4-GHz multiple-handset DSS phones may interfere with other 2.4-GHz wireless devices. The new VTech does not cause interference in standby mode, our tests showed. It may cause interference in talk mode, however. Until phones and other products crowd the 5.8-GHz frequency band, the lack of interference may be the biggest advantage among 5.8 GHz products.
A familiar name reenters the market. Motorola, perhaps best known for pagers and cell phones, has reentered the cordless-phone market. We tested the new MA350, a 2.4-GHz analog phone.
WHAT WE TESTED, WHAT WE FOUND
We also tested new phones from Uniden and Bell South and a phone with answerer from Panasonic. The Uniden EXI 376 HS remains A CR Best Buy
at $30. Other models cost as much as $250.
