Aha... so each handset communicates with the base station and not
directly on the phone line?
If that's the case I'm going to hit distance limitations. If the
base station's in the kitchen for example I'm not sure the handset
in my basement office will communicate with it wirelessly, same with
the handset in the garden or the one in the upstairs bedroom. Add
to this the fact that I'll have an 802.11g WiFi network running may
cause interference.
Is this the only way that the DECT phones talk to each other
(wirelessly through the base station)?
What are the maximum distances?
PS: What does SWMBO stand for?
