New land line phone needed?
Our old land line phones are dying and we need to replace them. The phone system we are on is not digital, if that makes a difference. We prefer at least 2 handsets, with a base and an answering machine. It's been 7 years since we last bought phones, so I'm going out clueless as to what is available now.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be great! Even things to avoid would come in handy.
Kevin, we still have a corded phone for just that reason. Of course, it's 20 years old and still works fine!
Thanks for the info guys, keep it coming!

Just go to good ol Walmart, Sears, Best Buy or any place that sells phones and get what you like the looks of. Most of them have built in answering machines and the new wireless handsets are DECT 6.0 which doesn't interfere with computer wireless like the old ones did. Most wireless setups also come with two handsets now.

I agree you can get cordless phones about anywhere and they will serve you well. Keep in mind they will not work if you have a power outage. You should keep a corded phone in the house in the event of a power failure. Corded phones will continue to work on power from the phone line. Cordless phones need power from an electrical outlet.
