#REDIRECT [[DECT]]
A '''cordless phone''' consists of a [[headset]], [[handset]], [[base station]]
and [[power supply]].  The headset is typically connected to the handset via a 2.5 mm wired jack.  The handset is usually a [[worn device]] capable of [[touchtone]] signals and low-quality [[voice]] that communications with the base station via some local radio frequency, which could eventually be [[Bluetooth]], but is more likely to be [[DECT]] specified.  The base station communicates with a typical [[POTS]] "land line" wired network, but could also be boosting a signal from a [[Wireless Local Loop]]. 
 
''Probably only [[DECT]] or [[802.11g]] cordless phones can be fully integrated into [[healthy buying infrastructure]] and expect to become widely used by those with their own phones.  Other phone-quality-[[audio]] options like [[GMRS]] or [[Bluetooth headset]]s have exterme limitations or are very expensive.''
