900 MHz spread-spectrum operation provides maximum security with a frequency range that is almost impossible to scan. Regular 900 MHz cordless digital telephones are difficult to scan, but less so than spread spectrum. Analog cordless telephone frequencies are easy to scan and provide virtually no security from the outside. Hackers and thieves can use this to hear conversations and pick up credit card numbers.
Sound quality is better on your cordless digital telephone than non-spread spectrum 900 MHz digital cordless telephones. Sound quality on conventional analog cordless telephones is so poor by comparison that they are only practical for short range usage.
