It's always difficult deciding which brand to go with when trying to determine which cordless phone to purchase. After all, what is the difference between AT&T, Uniden, Vtech, Etc... These are difficult decisions, especially with the greatly varying prices between brands.
One way to decide obviously is price. What is in your budget? Will the value you get for your purchase justify the cost? These are good questions to ask at any time. Another question to ask is what features do you really need? It's great that you have a cordless phone that verbally announces callers based on caller ID but is it really necessary? Nowadays cordless phones have so many options and features that half the time you don't know how to use more than half of them and never do so why make the investment on something unnecessary?
The questions I usually ask are these:
1. Do I need the full feature set?
2. Is the phone within my budget?
3. Is there a feature that I would prefer but is not a necessity?
4. How long will the phone last me based on current technological advancements?
Answering those questions for yourself will make a world of difference in both your long and short term purchases. Don't get mesmerized by features, instead go for the features and cost that are most comfortable to you and of course, always go for the deal if possible. Fortunately, there are plenty of online stores to go to for price and feature comparisons so take your time and decide what the right model is for you. Taking this approach will minimize your disappointments while typically exceeding your expectations. You should find joy in your purchase rather than confusion and frustration so take your time and make the best decision possible.
