So what exactly is the rela world difference between a 5.8ghz cordless phone nad the older 2.4ghz cordless phones?

5.8ghz and 2.4ghz refer to the frequency band used by the cordless phone to transmit and receive signals. 5.8ghz cordless phones operate on a higher frequency, which allows for faster data transmission and less interference. 2.4ghz cordless phones operate on a lower frequency, which may result in slower data speeds and more potential for interference.
The answer to this question depends on your specific needs and environment. If you live in a crowded area with a lot of wireless devices, a 5.8ghz cordless phone may be a better choice as it is less likely to experience interference. However, if you live in a more isolated area, a 2.4ghz cordless phone may be sufficient and may also be more budget-friendly.
No, the range of a cordless phone is not determined by its frequency. Factors such as obstructions, interference, and the power of the base station can affect the range of both 5.8ghz and 2.4ghz cordless phones.
No, cordless phones are designed to work within a specific frequency range and are not interchangeable. Using a 5.8ghz cordless phone with a 2.4ghz phone system will result in compatibility issues and may not work at all.
Both 5.8ghz and 2.4ghz cordless phones emit low levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation, which is considered safe by regulatory agencies. However, it is recommended to limit exposure to RF radiation by keeping the base station of the cordless phone away from living areas and using a headset or speakerphone when possible.
