For the technology averse, there's no need to feel overwhelmed though. These new 2-line DECT cordless phones really aren't advanced wizardry.

You also shouldn't have to be concerned with WiFi interference or be worried about eavesdropping...all issues alleviated with DECT 6.0. A 2-line cordless phone that enhances a professional image and just plain works - has been long overdue.
