Top 5 best cordless phones for 2020

Now it is 2020, the first half of the twenty-first century, when human life has become several times faster than in the past decade. Humanity has created cell phones that have huge functionality and have departed from their original purpose - to call. However, many people have a home telephone, which is often the radiotelephone. They are especially needed by companies that call customers or receive calls from them. If you still do not have a phone for your home, but you are thinking about purchasing one, we have compiled the top 5 of the best cordless phones in terms of price-quality ratio for 2020, but first, let's look at what types they are, the most popular manufacturing companies of this product, what are the advantages and disadvantages of such equipment.

About home phones

There is a huge variety of manufacturers and devices on the market. Why is it that such non-mobile, stationary devices are still in demand among consumers, what is their target audience and in what cases is it worth making their choice in the direction of inpatients, from which manufacturer is it better to buy? Let's figure it out.

Main manufacturers

The best time-tested manufacturers are the following:

  1. Gigaset. This company is one of the most popular not only in Russia, but also in the world. It is a subsidiary of another, more famous German corporation - Siemens AG. It specializes in the production of DECT wireless devices.
  2. Philips. This Dutch corporation begins its history of existence from the end of the nineteenth century - 1891. Initially, she was engaged in the creation and sale of the then popular incandescent lamps in the territory of both Holland and Europe. She came to Russia thanks to a large contract for the supply of 75 thousand lamps for the Alexander Palace. Also, after the invention of its rays by X-ray, the company began to produce various medical equipment. In general, Philips moved in any new technological direction and after the creation of phones, the corporation also began to produce and sell them, which is what it is doing to this day.
  3. Panasonic. The third world giant in the production of this technology. This Japanese company has been operating since 1997. It manufactures models with an improved wireless standard. Their products are always distinguished by excellent communication quality, anti-eavesdropping protection, and a decent price.
  4. Senao. In 1979, Taiwan's top engineers decide to become professionals in the wireless communications niche and form Senao. Initially, they were only intermediaries in the sale of wireless radio electronics. So they worked for 13 years, and in 1992 they opened the first two of their own factories and began to sell equipment of their own production. Senao's contribution to the production of radiotelephones cannot be underestimated - it was they who made a home phone that works at a distance of up to 20 km, and by installing a repeater or an additional antenna, the coverage area becomes even larger. At the moment, this organization occupies one of the leading positions in the world market for wireless devices.
  5. Texet. This company is the youngest among the five - it was founded in 1993. Texet was operated by another large corporation, Alcatel. From the early days of its foundation, it began to produce cordless phones and players.Then Texet began selling branded Android tablets and navigation devices. Digital technologies still bring the main income of the company.

Varieties of radiotelephones

These devices are of only two types - "tube" and "base", which can be purchased either separately or as a set. The first part of the kit is an ordinary push-button telephone with a battery, the second part is a device that charges the first.

Pros and cons of cordless phones when they are worth buying

Why is it worth casting your vote in favor of landline telephones, and in what cases will they be more useful than ordinary mobile phones?

Here are the main reasons:

  • if you have a little money and do not want to spend it on expensive devices like smartphones;
  • value reliability, while the functionality does not matter (it does not matter if there is an Internet connection, the main thing is that you can make a call and receive a call);
  • also a huge advantage in the stationary piggy bank is a significantly reduced monthly fee and high reliability due to a simple device where there is almost nothing to break. If a breakdown occurs, then the service will not have to pay off several thousand for a repair, some may even fix everything on their own;
  • mobility (especially convenient for office work, to always be in touch);
  • an intra-office or apartment network is being created;
  • you can easily transfer a call to another handset;
  • it is useless to eavesdrop on conversations from another device, only short beeps will sound when trying;
  • increased functionality compared to caller ID devices.

The disadvantages of radiotelephones with the DECT standard are:

  • Increased cost compared to conventional household;
  • Small radius of action.

Based on the above facts, the conclusion about who this equipment will be useful for, suggests itself - you should buy cordless phones only if you work for a company and need a separate work phone or you have a large apartment, house and it is required to create a single network throughout its territory.
