Phones that allow talker to be Long distances from the receiver?

Question

I have been having difficulty with the current home-phones at my new house. There is extreme static when anyone talking is even a short distance away from the reciever. The one in the kitchen doesn't even allow the user to walk out of the kitchen. The extention upstairs has static as soon as it gets picked up. I wanted to know what features I should be looking for in new phones that will alow me/my family to walk freely around the house while yalking on the phone. Anything from brand names to how many MGz I sjould get is appreciated. Thanx.

First you need a digital one because the analogs are the flakiest. The most common frequency now is 2.4GHz but that i vulnerable to noise from microwave ovens and the dozens of neighbors on that frequency. Try the newer ones at 5.6 GHz for better performance and less chance of interference.

Have you tried pushing the channel button on your existing phone? They usually have a dozen channels you can step through to find one without noise. Since this approach is free you should give it a try before replacing the phone, which is not free.
