Ben Singer commented on his purchase of a Panasonic Cordless phone and had alluded to AT&T's phones. Allow me to say that -- even if I despised AT&T (which I definitely don't) -- I can honestly state that AT&T's cordless phones in the 5000 series are superb! I have the old model 5200 (now replaced by an updated version), and I love it. The reception is spectacular. Their 5500 is also a great buy. It has a speakerphone (one of the best on the market), as well as a dial pad on the base (good idead if you misplaced the handset). It has ten channel security, intercom, extra base for the handset, etc. While the $249 retail price is kinda high, I'd suggest getting ahold of an AT&T employee who can get one for you as a "gift" at a substantial discount. By the way, Ben, you could always call AT&T at 1-800-555-8111 and ask about home delivery and other personal phone equipment stuff. Randy Borow Rolling Meadows, IL.
