any suggestions on a good reasonably priced cordless phone with good volume ?

Question

i just bought a uniden but i will be taking it back because the volume isn't very good and i like a little more options on ringer selection. i had a motorola and still have the second one but the volume on it isn't high enough for my failing hearing as i get older so i need one that will be reliable static proof and has good volume. thanks for you comments

Answer 1

I have just the ticket! :D
Uniden puts out phones for the hard of hearing, and they are GREAT! They have big white handsets. I have seen them at Walmart and at Radio Shack. They are the ones with the big white handsets!!! I have one and use it all the time. I got rid of 2 or 3 other cordless fones because I just couldn't hear on them. I can sure here on this, that's for sure!!! :D

There are other fones by a company named Walker that are made especially for the very hard of hearing. THEY are so loud there are warnings on the fone not to use it with the booster on if you have normal hearing, for fear of going deaf!

Radio Shack sells both. I recommend the Uniden with the big white handset unless your are stone deaf! Then get the Walker. Clarity is another good brand.

I have the last one. It is only $60, and is very easy to use. It is only one handset, and no answering machine. The ringer is somewhat limited, in that it only has two tones, and hi and lo for each tone. The fone and the base have RED FLASHING LIGHTS when a call is ringing! :D Radio Shack says it is their "exclusive" -- It is not! It's made by Uniden, and I've seen it at Walmart for $50. What's "exclusive" about it is they have THIER name on it, instead of Uniden.

Hope all this helped! E-Mail me if you have any questions. :)
