Buy a phone: you have to pay attention to this
- When buying a new phone, you should pay particular attention to good voice quality, a long range and a long-lasting battery.
- The equipment must also be right: answering machine, call-by-call (economy code) and night mode are included with all the phones mentioned above. Baby monitor and emergency call function, however, only in a few.
- Tip: If you need more than one base phone, you should buy them together as a package. It is much more expensive to buy some later.
