Many phones at this price, including this one, offer details such as a button on the base station that pings the handset so you can find it , a digital answering system an answering machine without the tape , a full-duplex handset speakerphone, and one-touch call blocking which lets you automatically add robocall numbers to your block list. But two features in particular help the DL stand out compared with others in the same price range: smart call blocking and a Bluetooth cell phone connection.
It works by comparing the numbers from incoming callers against those in your phone book, which you can add manually or from your cell phone over Bluetooth.
If they do so, their message is then played out loud, and you can choose to answer the call, answer and allow the number going forward, block the number, or send it to your answering system. When paired, your cordless phone can then serve as an extension of your smartphone, allowing you to leave your mobile phone by the base and then wander around with the DL handset. It will also ring when your cell phone gets a call. Each phone runs on a rechargeable mAh CR battery, which you can replace for just a few dollars.
If you know you need extra range and are willing to give up the Bluetooth connection, consider going with the CL The 2-inch screen measured diagonally is monochrome, and the white backlighting glows for only a few seconds after you stop pressing buttons. The labyrinthine menu system made us long for the swiping and tapping of our smartphones. However, we appreciated that the number keys glowed a soft blue, making them easy to see in the dark.
It has all the features a great phone should have, amplified or not, and when retired audiologist Lisa Devlin tested our amplified finalists, it was her favorite—the one she would tell her clients to get. The volume adjustments should be suitable for many people who need boosted voice levels, and the six levels of tone adjustment plus custom tones provide a greater range of voice qualities than you can find on phones from any other company.
The phone meets the TIA standard, so it offers compatibility with hearing aids without causing interference, and it works with headsets and neck loops. Devlin also found the tone adjustment to be satisfactory. A button on the side of the handset, above the volume rocker, allows you to cycle through six preset tones with different adjustments to the high-end, midrange, and low-end qualities of the voice on the other end. If you use a headset or induction neck loop, you can plug it into the jack on the side of the handset.
The KX-TGMW also offers the standard features we look for in any cordless phone, including a base speakerphone and handset speakerphone, call blocking, and a button on the base station to help you find the handset.
In the end, she found it was more effective to just ask the person she was conversing with to step out of the noisy environment. Otherwise, it lacks any sort of call blocking, speakerphone, or digital answering system, and it has no ability to connect to your cell phone.
The hardware itself is light and plasticky, and the screen is small. But we like that the entirety of each number key glows, rather than just the perimeter. The VTech IS offers impressive range, good-enough voice quality, four handsets, and every other feature we can think of. A speakerphone and dial pad on the base station? Smart call blocking? Cellular connection? Yes, indeed.
In our standardized distance test, the IS traveled farther—an impressive feet, or the length of almost 13 school buses—than any other phone before our call broke up. One described the voice quality as being a little muffled but perfectly understandable. This model comes with a mounting bracket, too. You can extend the phone to include up to 12 handsets, but as of this writing the IS accessory handset is out of stock at Amazon and not readily available anywhere else.
Panasonic's KX-TGMS is a noticeably louder variant of our amplified pick, which may make it better suited to people with more severe hearing loss. However, it costs much more, so we recommend it only if a cell phone connection is especially important to you. Cordless headsets.

It's a five-handset system that can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and transmits phone calls from your smartphone. You can even use a handset to locate your smartphone if you need to.
The key feature of this Panasonic model is that it includes a hour battery backup. So if your power goes out and your landline is still working, so will your smartphone. Keep in mind, though, you are paying dearly for that battery backup. Cordless phones are great for use around the house without being tied to a single place.
If you have a landline, a cordless phone is a real convenience that is easily taken for granted. Some cordless phones pair with your smartphone and pull double duty. You can leave your smartphone in a place that gets a good signal and still take calls. Having a dedicated landline can help you make and receive stable calls that don't rely on cellular signals.
Some areas just have bad cell reception, and a landline completely circumvents that. Plus, landlines and their handsets cost significantly less than their cell phone equivalents.
Cordless phones require a steady stream of power to function. A good cordless phone base will have a battery backup for times that you lose power.
