DECT Phone

DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. Unlike analogue cordless phones that used to be frequent in many homes and businesses around the world, DECT phone is a digital wireless communication technology that is through its advanced reliable infrastructure bound to make cordless or DECT phone even more common in businesses and homes around the globe.

You've likely heard the ballyhoo after every major cordless or DECT phone technology update. This Megahertz and that Gigahertz were all supposed to provide incredible range and amazing clarity. Well, the new-to-the-U.S. DECT phone technology (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications or 1.9 GHz) really does live up to the hype. Although DECT phone 6.0 is not created equal, most DECT phone models provide a winning balance between exceptional voice clarity and suitable-to-fantastic range.

First and foremost, look for a global brand you can trust. Because DECT is a global standard - where launching a U.S. product is much less expensive than in the past, you'll see lots of "import brands" hitting the market. Price points vary depending on brand and features, but most DECT phone is at the same or lower cost than the 5.8 GHz phones they're succeeding. Consider your usage as well. Will you be using the phone in a home office where you'll need a headset jack? Surprisingly, only some DECT models have included a headset jack. Will you need multiple handsets? While most models are expandable, be cautious that a few are locked into the one included handset. There are many more features available, but most DECT phone handle core functionality (excellent voice quality and good range) really well. Look for reviews and comparisons online and consider asking your retailer for recommendations.

DECT also formerly stood for Digital European Cordless Telecommunications standard. This is because the technology involved was primarily developed by European companies. It was changed to reflect the global acceptance of this cordless telecommunications technology.
