DECT Phones

I remember some correspondence on this, or a similar newsgroup a while ago,
about conflicts between certain
DECT phones and ADSL.

I'm considering buying a DECT phone, and just wondered if anyone knew of the
existence of a list of those which have been proven to work.

I've tried googling without success.

Regards,

Noel

Dunno about a list, but have used various BT labelled DECT phones and not
had a problem with any of them.

Don't know about a list, but my Vtech 112 phones work fine with ADSL
(Don't seem to like my NTL box doing its update tho')

Some DECT phones even cause problems with 56 K/sec analogue modems. My
girlfriend has to unplug her DECT phone when she wants to use the modem
because otherwise the modem connects at only a few K/sec instead of managing
45 K/sec when the phone's unplugged. Not sure why this should be - if the
phone is on-hook, it should be presenting no load on the line. It's not RF
transmission because the phone's base unit can be powered-on and not cause a
problem unless its phone line is plugged in.

These days I'm back on dialup and connect at between 46.6k and 50.6k with
one Ericsson and one Panasonic DECT phone sharing the same line and all
connected at the same time. When I had ADSL I did use the supplied filters.

The few times I've come against problems between DECT phones & DSL
have normally been cured by double filtering the phone so it's not a
major problem. Sorry I can't remember which manufacturers/models they
were (but synergy does come to mind, but some people say they aren't
truly DECT anyway)...

I have an old BT diverse 2010 DECT. With just the (BT style) NTE faceplate
splitter it had two problems. Distinct noise from the ADSL signal, and the
router would drop when the phone was hung up (unusually). Double filtering
with a Fujitsu style filter sorted this out.

Why do some people think Synergy phones aren't "truly DECT"?

Asking as someone who has just realised he has a Synergy 600! - How do
people find these phones anyway - they appear "noisey"(poor sound
quality etc) to me...

Haven't got one mayself but know of instances where they were picking
up noise from DSL lines (with the correct filtering as well) also
known them to have problems working in HH analogue ports. My son has
had 3 different units in the last year.

So I'm afraid they are not a line I would recomend, now if you had
Diverse that's another matter.

Sunil can you supply the URL for the BT shop please, yes I know i
should have it but you know how it goes, it got lost in the mountain
of in house post I'm getting (especially with all the Project Watford
rubbish)...

Thanks..

aiui DECT phones are set to have the ability to display CLID. It
can't differentiate between that signal and your modem. Your modem
startst to communicate with the DECT, then by the time the call gets
out the modem has negotiated down to v34 and you get a 33kbs
connection.
