There is no need to worry about battery life, and most corded phones for business come equipped with a headset port so that you can talk hands-free if needed.

Home Corded Phones

For Home

If buying a corded phone for home then.... you’d like to be able to take calls. Most DECT phones will provide up to around 50 metres of range indoors, and up to 300 metres outdoors, which should be adequate for most sized properties. If you need your cordless phones to go further than that or have experienced problems with cordless phone range in the past (perhaps because of thick walls, are an unusual layout) then it is probably in your best interest to search out a phone, which is repeater compatible so you can extend the range.
