Normally DECT phones do have a range of 300 meters.
There are newer types that go as far as 1000 meters.
And it is not the phone itsself that poses the danger, but it is the base
station (where the phone in rests and will be charged) that emits its 100 Hz
allo the time, 24 hours a day, whether you phone or not.


There are now DECT phones which do not radiate all the time, like the types
of Orchid.

But, beware of the following:

There are Eco DECT. They use lesser electricity, so they are more economical
in current costs, but the radiation stays the same.
So they are bad.

Then we have DECT ECO MODE. They do have 80 % less radiation.

And finally we have DECT ECO MODE PLUS, which are shielded 100 %.
Those are the types we can use.
Of course, they do radiate when you use the phone, but not 24 hours a day.

There are also the wireless house phones, which are not DECT but analogue,
and do not radiate like the DECT phones, but in Europe they are no longer
available.
In Europe they work between 885 and 932 MHz.

Ideally, you'd get a corded phone -- that's all we have in our
house. It sounds like you have the worst possible kind of phone
right now. If you or your family require a cordless phone,
then perhaps someone here can recommend one that's less damaging
than the one you've got.
