Actually, my Uniden 5.8GHz phone (a refurb, nonetheless) is the best one I've ever had. I can use it at the clubhouse of my apartment complex, roughly 100 yards away and through many walls. Can't say that about any other phone I've used. As stated above, I bought it so it wouldn't interfere with my WiFi, but I'm thinking about getting rid of my land line, so I may go wireless-A for security purposes when I figure out how to get my DirecTiVo to use the internet.
