I've yet to meet the cordless that rivals my best corded phone for voice
clarity, handset comfort and freedom from "twangs."  Like you, I'd run a
wire since phone wire is so easy to run.  I don't think I've ever seen a
cordless phone repeater for sale in the US, although the UK has them for
DECT phones.  I don't recall where the OP was calling from . . .

While I've seen superpowered 900MHz phones listed on various sites:

http://www.fuzing.com/qrx/900mhz-phone

that claim up to 10km:

*********************************************************************
CL-338 900MHz Long-Range/SOHO Cordless Phone System with Multi-Channel Auto
Scan
Brand Name: Voyager
Key Specifications/Special Features: Base unit: 600mW Handset: 300mW
Communication range: 1km to 10km Built-in voice scramble Vibration/ringing
design on handset Multi-channel auto scan ....
Listed by: George Tang Industrial Corp (Taiwan (ROC))

Could be a total fraud, an illegal product that can't be imported or worse,
but it also could be the solution to the OP's problem.  I'd buy one if the
price was right . . .
