Best Cordless Phones with Answering Machine

There are thousands of cordless telephones out in the market with a gazillion features. If you are out in the market looking for one, first chalk out the features that you want. The more features a phone has, the more costly it is. If you  are not going to use the feature, it is a waste of money paying for something that you are not gonna use.  

Below are some of the best cordless phones with answering machine. All of these phones are DECT cordless phones with answering system. DECT stands for "Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication" meaning that it will provide great sound quality, better range and an outstanding signal quality.

• Installation is very easy and requires less than 5 mins. without even glancing at the instructions.
  
  
• Handsets use AA rechargables rather than a specialized battery.
  
  
• The Panasonic KX-TG6545B DECT has an amazing range. Works perfectly fine from more than 30+ feet away.
  
  
• Has intercom calling and handset locator.
  
  
• Compact, efficient design.
  
  
• Ability to block nuisance call numbers. You can store unwanted caller phone number in a secure list and it will give them a busy signal if they try to call.
  
  
• This phone comes with a silent mode. Individual handsets can be progammed not to ring when wanted to avoid any disturbance when you are busy or sleeping.
  
  
• The digital answering greeting message can be easily personalized.
  
  
• This Dect phone comes with voice caller id. The name of the caller is announced in between the rings. This is a great feature if you are in the middle of something. You can decide to take the call or ignore it without even being close to the phone.
  
  
• All programming and input can be done from any of the wireless units. Store the contacts into one phone and all of them automatically record the information.

• Nice sleek design but does not come with a gazillion of features.
  
  
• The light up dial is a good feature.
  
  
• The handset display date and time.
  
  
• The answering machine flashes the number of unheard messages. There is no audible indication of new messages. I like this feature of not beeping but some may not like it.
  
  
• One nice feature that I like is that the handsets displays the missed calls. 
  
  
• One negative feature - there is no headset jack. Except for the speaker phone which is on the handset, there is no other way to become hands free while on the call.

• Do not exhaust yourself adding the phone numbers into the handsets separately. Program one handset and the other handsets are automatically synced. 
  
  
• The blue backlit keypads are easy on the eyes and the function buttons are pretty well laid out.
  
  
• Calls can be transferred between handsets and it's easy to do so.
   
• The handsets are very light and slim.
  
  
• Has feature to turn off the ringer on the base too.
  
  
• The ringer on each unit can be adjusted separately and have around 10 ringtones.
