- I have a couple questions regarding cordless telephones.
-
- What is the likelihood of another phone operating on the same
- channel as yours? Possible concerns include a) others being able to
- listen in on phone converstions and b) others being able to place
- calls via your phone line.
-
- Is is possible to disable the base phone to prevent other handsets
- from dialing out?
-
- My parents have just purchased a cordless phone and are concerned about
- unauthorized monitoring or use. This isn't my area of expertise, but I
- don't want to blow my image. Any information about cordless phones
- would be appreciated.
-
- BTW, if this is covered in a FAQ list, please point me toward it.
