After watching Sex and the City 2 which I absolutely loved, I had the urgent feeling to talk to my girlfriends. I love hanging on the phone and talking for hours. We talk about everything and it can take quite some time going through all things we want to share. A cordless phone is a must-have for a girl like me. I can walk around and get things done–I can even get the ironing done while talking on the phone. There are some great models currently on the market, for example the BT freestyle 750 is a cordless phone with an answering machine and speed dial pre-sets for nine different numbers–how great is that? Who’s on my speed dial, you might wonder? Well, my mum, boyfriends and my closest friends, of course. Figuring out who gets on your speed dial is truly a science and needs to be thought through. When the weather is nice, I like to sit on my tiny balcony, have a glass of wine and talk on the phone. Some cordless phones don’t afford me the luxury of being outdoors. Luckily, the Freestyle 750 ranges up to 300m outdoors and 50m indoors so I can use the phone practically anywhere in my home.

If you would like an upgrade for your current cordless phone, look into the BT graphics 1500 trio cordless phone. It comes with three handsets! That is a great feature because you can leave one in the kitchen, one in the living room and another one in your home office. The answering machine has up to 12 minutes of recording time so you don’t have to worry about your mailbox filling up while on holiday. The phone also features caller ID which is hard to beat.

If your friends live all over the world, it can be difficult to reach them over the phone. In the hustle and bustle of today’s hectic lifestyle, take time out and connect with those far away. Schedule an appointment with your friend. Open a nice bottle of wine and get comfortable on your small leather sofa. Enjoy your time together over the phone and get back in touch with friends who would appreciate quality time with you.

A jazz musician named Teri Pall invented a version of the cordless phone in 1965 but she could not market her invention as it only had a two mile range. Although she sold her rights to the cordless phone, Teri Pall is recognized as having revolutionized cordless communications. Who knew?
