Hi,

I am not directly disputing you (because it's not like I've taken a
frequency counter to my phone), but I was under the impression that any
frequencies transmitted from the device would have to be listed on the
device or manual, and I can't find anything about 900mhz listed anywhere
in my phone's documentation.  Also:  Why would it use 900mhz when it is
using 2.4ghz already?  I would see using both to achieve a more stable
signal or doing base-> handset on one frequency and handset -> Base
transmissions on the other frequency.  But I think either of these would
be too complicated for my crappy $60 cordless phone.
