Despite the fact that it is increasingly common for us to get rid of the expense of having a landline phone at home, especially when we spend more time outside than indoors and also have a mobile phone, the truth is that many homes still keep it. And not only that, but they also have cordless landlines that give you the (partial) freedom of a mobile phone.
But are they still selling? What are wireless landlines like now? Learn about the evolution of these phones and what they can now offer you as there are features that you would never believe they are capable of.
Cordless landlines, when were they created?
If we could ask you that question in person, what would you answer us? Many people believe that wireless landlines are not that old, that they can be 50-60 years old at most. But no more.
And yet the reality is very different. To begin with, the person who invented wireless landlines was a priest. Specifically, Robert Landell de Moura, of Brazilian nationality. This priest invented the first model of cordless telephone that he began to use ... on June 3, 1900. However, he did not patent it until four years later, in 1904.
Now, you may wonder why it hasn't been in homes before, since it was made up. Well, it is all due, surely, to the production of these phones, since there were not so many and they were unknown to almost everyone. However, Years later, in 1938, there was a company that noticed them. Siemens. The problem is that, although they made designs of these wireless landlines, they were only prototypes, and did not reach the production of these.
It took a Second World War so that when it was over, the LM-Ericsson company, will start to mass produce, and bet seriously, for these phones, with the Ericofon model. And it was so successful that today it is one of the most popular to have a landline phone at home.
What are the advantages of wireless landlines
Comparing a landline with a wireless landline is like comparing two things that only share a name, and nothing else. Cordless landlines came to replace landlines and, incidentally, solve the problems that these gave, thus becoming their main advantages. Such as:
Being able to move around the house
It is one of the best known features of these, since they allow you to move without being limited by the length of the cable that uses the handset to the telephone terminal. Of course, it does not always reach every corner of a house, because the range is limited, but it is much greater than the cable.
It is much more compact
The bases right now are getting smaller and smaller, so they hardly take up space. And since in the headset itself you also have the keyboard, you don't need anything else to be able to call.
Current trends in cordless landlines
If we are already piquing your curiosity to know what a wireless landline phone can bring you over others, here we make you a summary of everything you will find in terms of trends. And it is that these are varied.
Wireless technology
Currently, the vast majority of cordless landlines are available in 5,8GHz. However, you can also still find the 2.4 GHz, predecessors of the previous ones. What does that involve? That you have a phone that offers less interference with other wireless devices you have at home.
Now if you really want The latest of the latest, then you have to go for DECT 6.0. Phones with unbeatable sound quality and interference, which also make much better use of the battery they have.
Digital is a trend in wireless landlines
In fact, all late-model terminals are digital. While, if you go to the previous ones, those of 5,8 GHz, you can find analog and digital.
Wider, larger and more visible screens they make them much easier to understand and work with. Some even have the ability to receive text messages.
With bluetooth connectivity
The ability to use a hands-free phone, share your mobile phone book with the landline phone, or even answer calls from your mobile phone with the landline It's an advantage you hadn't thought about with landline phones with Bluetooth, right? However, new trends in these devices allow it, which makes them increasingly come back into fashion.
Possibility of linking several terminals
Ideal to have a telephone in different rooms, and not only receive a call in them, but also communicate with the different rooms of your house (without having to shout). In fact, The ability to buy duos or trios on cordless landlines is no longer alone.
