Description:

Get the convenience of a digital answering system plus state-of-the-art, 2.4 GHz digital spread-spectrum (DSS) cordless technology with the Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone GH2430MS. With its stylish look, caller-ID/call-waiting capability, and convenient features, this phone is an affordable introduction to 2.4 GHz DSS cordless technology.

This Southwestern Bell cordless takes advantage of the higher-frequency 2.4 GHz range of the FM radio spectrum, opened to cordless phones only in 1998. The GH2430MS is basically an FM transmitter/receiver using shorter wavelengths, so radio waves encounter less interference. The 2.4 GHz frequency is also far above the range accessible to most scanners, so there's less risk of eavesdropping.

When you add DSS technology to a 2.4 GHz cordless, you get the best security and clarity currently available. Based in part on a concept invented by 1940s screen actress Hedy Lamarr, spread-spectrum transmission switches rapidly from frequency to frequency at random. A DSS signal needs less power and encounters less interference. The GH2430MS's auto-scan feature automatically switches between 40 channels in the 2.4 GHz range to find the best signal.

The GH2430MS's digital answering system records up to 14 minutes of messages without tapes or extra phone charges. It can be operated remotely over the phone using voice prompts, and comes with a time/day stamp to tell you exactly when a call has come in. A two-digit LED display on the phone's base tells you how many messages are waiting. It also has power-failure protection and allows you to record memos.

Caller-ID capability is an added convenience, allowing you to view caller information on a three-line LCD display on the phone handset when you pay for caller-ID service from your phone company. When a call comes in, you can see the caller's name, date, and time on the display before you pick up the phone.

The GH2430MS also has call-waiting/caller ID capability, allowing you to view information on an incoming call as you talk on the phone. Its caller-ID memory holds up to 50 names and numbers, and other features include scroll/erase, repeat-call indicator, and total call counter.

Other useful phone features include a 20-number memory for frequently dialed numbers and last-number redial. It has a 2.5-millimeter jack for use with an optional headset. It is also compatible with hearing aids, and can be mounted on a desk or wall.

The Southwestern Bell GH2430MS brings together advanced technology, a digital answering system, and caller-ID/call-waiting capability in a stylish, modern package. This affordable phone will help you get the most out of cordless technology in your home.
