Has your house got a digital cordless phone?

Am I the only one that thinks some of the handset designs are hideous?!

I decided to splash out and get a new set for the house, but was amazed at how ugly and unbalanced some of them on offer looked.

Got the NTL vs2003 Quad set from ebay, brand new and all for under £80 compared to £109.50 from Argos. Apart from the saving, they also look slightly more easy on the eye.

What frequency do these work on? Is it 2.4Ghz?

I would be concerned that it would knock out my wireless network.

Never thought of that, doesnt seem to tell you the frequency. I'll check the manual when it arrives.

We have one, and our wireless network copes with it fine. You can adjust the channel of most wireless networks too, to avoid such interference, for example, if your neighbour has a wireless network too.

The DECT system operates on 1.9GHz.
