Corded Phones, please respond asap.

Hello,
 
I am sick now because of  my cordless phone. I'm going out today to  buy a
corded phone. Just want to know that corded phones will be okay .
 
Thank you so   much.

A corded phone should be better than a cordless phone.  
However, we do need to be careful about generalizing too much,
because I once owned a corded phone that was horrible and
had to be replaced with a different model.  The horrible model
had an AC adapter to power the caller ID, so you might want to
avoid phones that have AC adapters (we have battery-powered
called ID now).

I don't know how easy it will be to "go out" and find a corded
phone these days -- you may need to buy this online or at
a thrift store, because the retail outlets mostly (I think) have
cordless phones.

Marc, there are some corded phones out there but most don't  have caller  
ID.  I'm looking everywhere as caller ID I think is  important.  I can leave
my cordless phone in place to take messages but  won't pick it up ever.  
I'll make sure I don't get  a phone with an AC  adapter.
 
Thanks for the tips.

I'll note that Pansonic and GE corded phones with battery-powered
caller ID have both been pretty tolerable for me.

I don't know if that's safe or not -- it's possible that your
cordless phone and/or base station is still transmitting
wirelessly even when they are together and not being
used... at least, I think I recall that some DECT
phones work this way....

Marc

Okay Marc, I'll keep that in mind..First I'm looking for a  phone and I'll
look for Panasonic or GE.  
 
Thank you so much.  I'm tired of being sick.

Yes, I read that cordless phones, the base, acts as having a mini cell towerin one's house. Also, Marc made an excellent point about the corded phone and avoidingone with that black plug in transformer. I have a Uniden, that has caller ID on battery, and have no problem with it. Lizzie

Lizzie, thank you very much for that information.  I had  some how thought
that Uniden's weren't good phones. Maybe they have  changed.  Also, do you
have a separate answering machine?  I don't  know if corded phones come with
an answering machinel.

 Welcome!I thought so  too, but tried one and it's been no problem for me.I don't have an answering machine. The only ones I could findhad the black transformer plug, and that bothers me. As transformerplugs ect put out high emfs/dirty electricity.My Uniden phone has caller Id and I just check to see who called. Its the one that is the full desk model, not the skinny slim line phone, whichI found the caller ID battery ate batteries like candy.This one doesn't. Yes, its inconvient, but oh well.......I"ve managed to live w/o an asnweringmachine for quite a while now. I found this phone at K-marts and I know radio shack also carriesthe corded phones. At least in my area.  www.lessemf.com also carries a low emf corded telephone. Don't have any experience with those, but its an opton. LizzieTo: [hidden email]

Yes, I would think that a phone with a built-in answering machine
would need to have an AC/DC adapter (to power the answering machine).
You can get away with batteries if all you have is Caller ID and/or
a speaker phone.

We've avoided this by having voicemail...

Marc

Marc, I will probably have to use voice mail too.
 
I do however like caller ID. Hopefully I can find one that  doesn't eat up
batteries.
 
 
Thank you.  I can't wait to get this problem  solved.  My health is on the
line.

Hi Estelle,
 
I bought my cheapo phone @ Family Dollar for $12.  It has a battery operated caller ID which I have found to be suitable, plus I get the 50 feet cord for decent mobility.
 
Good luck,
Pam

I'm sure I'll find something pretty soon.

Pick a simple one with No transformer to power it.
Avoid computerized displays and caller ID, so that it should have no EMR
emissions.

I am happy with the GE 2-9421, GE 2-9433,  GE 2-9316, GE 2-9315A.

Avoid the GE 2-9380, GE 2-9435, and Nortel 9417 CW

Thanks to all of you who responded to me.  There is so  much I didn't know.
 That's why these sites are so necessary.  
 
Hopefully by the weekend I will have a phone I can  use.

I agree Estelle,
 
I wish there were more of these type sites all over the web.  But this creation by Marc has been the most up to date and reliable that I have encountered thus far.  Arthur Firstenberg also has been very resourceful in actually bringing people together who correspond via phone or in person.  That's great, also.
 
Thanks again Marc!
Pam

Yes, this would probably be a good phone for folks with ES:
