If you're looking for a cordless phone that will operate without a lot of interference, check out the Panasonic KXTG2400B. Its twin-band transmission design uses two different frequencies, 2.4 GHz on the base and 900 MHz on the handset, minimizing static and providing you with clear conversation even at long range.
The base of the Panasonic KXTG2400B is designed with two antennae, one for transmitting and one for receiving. Although this system cannot be mounted on your wall, it does give your calls crisp, clean sound. It also allows you to use the phone anywhere in your house as well as outside with minimal interference. If you do encounter static, simply press the channel button to find a clearer channel in your location. The high-capacity NiMH battery lets you talk for eight hours away from the base and lasts up to 14 days on standby.
The sturdy, shock-resistant handset has a standard button layout along with a large Navigator button, which essentially serves as four buttons in one. Press the upper and lower portions of the Navigator button for ringer and volume, and the left and right sides for program and auto functions. The program function gives you access to memory dialing and other special features. We found the auto function somewhat awkward, however. It's needed only to select the dialing mode (tone/pulse) and to store numbers in memory, and for both of these tasks we thought Panasonic should have used a more intuitive button (a Memory button for example). While the functions of the Navigator button do not necessarily relate to each other and could just as easily have been separate buttons, it does nevertheless minimize clutter on the handset.
Storing a phone number in memory is not as intuitive as other phones we've tested because there is no Memory button, but the easy-to-read owner's manual explains the task in just a few steps. We pressed the left side of the Navigator button (program), entered a phone number, pressed the right side of the Navigator button (auto), and selected a station number between 0 and 9. A beep let us know our phone number had been stored. To dial the stored number, we pressed the auto function and then the station number. There is also a Direct button that dials a phone number with the touch of only one button rather than two. Since you can only store one number at a time in the direct function, we found it rather unnecessary, but it may be useful for a frequently dialed or emergency number.
The Panasonic KXTG2400B also offers a handset locator, Flash button for call waiting services, and battery status indicators. With its well-chosen suite of features and its interference-free transmission, the Panasonic KXTG2400 makes a good all-around choice for basic home use. --Emily Bakko

Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic KX-TG2400B is one of the GigaRange Extreme phones. Twin-band transmission, coupled with rugged design, allows you to take your conversations outdoors. Panasonic also has included a 2.5 millimeter headset jack and belt clip for hands-free operation. With an optional headset connected to this phone, you're free to engage in activities that require the use of two hands. And when you're not using your 2.4 GHz phone, its small design enables you to simply slip it into your pocket.Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme cordless phones utilize spread spectrum technology (SST) in both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands. Cordless phones with SST have greater output power than regular cordless phones because they transmit over the entire bandwidth, constantly changing frequency. This increased power dramatically boosts range.
These 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme SST cordless phones employ the use of two different frequencies, 2.4 GHz on the base, and 900 MHz on the handset. This means that interference between these signals is minimized, thereby enhancing clarity and boosting range. A proprietary circuitry design also helps these phones resist interference from other devices, such as microwave ovens, that share similar bands.
The KX-TG2400B also boasts an attractive shock-resistant design; a dual antenna system for smooth two-way conversations; a nickel metal hydride battery; a headset jack and belt clip; a three-level handset volume control; 25-channel automatic scanning; and flash, pause, and redial functions.
