Cingular Go Phone: Uniden TRU 446-2 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Caller ID Cordless Phone Review

I've got mixed feelings about this phone.When we first got it, the sound quality was great, but over the last few months it seems to be getting steadily worse, even if you change channels on the phone.I do, however, like the large phonebook you can store, making it just as easy as my cell phone to find friend's phone numbers.
The biggest problem I have with the phone is what it does with my wireless network.If you have a wireless router for your DSL or cable modem internet connection, then I'd advise skipping this phone.As you might know, popular wireless networking uses 2.4ghz as well.Theoretically, digital spread spectrum technology should keep the phone from interfering with the wireless signal.This phone, however, created two problems.If someone is talking on the phone close to someone using a laptop wirelessly, the phone becomes quite noisy, and the laptop's wireless signal vanishes, coming back intermittently.I've taken my phone to a friends house, who has a different brand of wireless router to find out if the problem was with my router, but again the same thing happened.Next, we took his panisonic 2.4ghz cordless phone to my house and tried the same thing - but the laptop stayed connected, and we never had a static problem.
Another thing you should know about almost all 2.4ghz phones is that they are prone to noise from your mircrowave.Microwaves emit a 2.4ghz signal that will fill your phone with static.If you want a 2.4ghz phone, move your base station as far away from your microwave as possible.
