When answering a regular phone, which of the following is more preferable to you?

I haven't tried all of these. I have a cordless and I don't like it. You can't turn the ringer off.

I prefer phones with cords that are large enough to hold between the head and shoulder (hands free). I dislike cordless phones because they're often too small to do that. We have cordless phones at home now so my parents can have one in their bedroom for when my dad gets called out during the night. My room phone at university is a regular cord one though.

I don't have a preference. I own both a regular phone with cord and a cordless phone. The one with the cord is downstairs, the cordless upstairs. I use whichever phone I'm closest to when it rings. I haven't tried the others you listed.

That's odd! Is it an older model? I can turn off the ringer on my cordless.

Did you look through the link I put in my survey ("If you were Pope, what would your name be?"). Part way down on the list is Pope Biggles.

It must be an older one. I don't really like answering the phone. I'd rather throw it at the wall.

I don't remember there being a link...I'll have to go check it out.

Biggles would have made an awful Pope - raised CofE but not a religious man.

I prefer a cordless phone, although a phone with a cord is fine too. I don't like headsets, and I can't stand using a speaker phone.

That's okay....it's a joke survey anyway.

Cordless phone.

There is a wall phone in the kitchen with a VERY long cord. There are 2 cordless, office and bedroom.

If I had a phone in my room, I'd want a headset.

Cordless

cordless

I prefer to answer with a corded phone (because I know where it is) but then talk with a cordless headset phone.

cordless, god i hate when people use the speaker phone to talk to me.

I won't say information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc on a cordless or cellular phone.

coredless phone is fine; I have plenty of whiz-bang stuff at work

Cordless phone without question.

I imagine the days before all of these magical telephones...when we were strapped to conventional methods. of course i was very small then. what am I saying! I was never very small. my telephone is shaped like a duck.

I have a phone for the hearing-impaired. It has a very LOUD ring.

I prefer a 25' coiled cord. I'm the only one I know who doesn't have their phone batteries die on them during calls.

I also insist on phones with the buttons on the base so I can still listen while navigating phone trees or simply dialing.

My current phone glows with purple neon. I preferred the one that glowed blue, more of a psychic connection (remote viewing, astral flights) quality to the blue.

cordless........ I tend to walk around when im on the phone.............. the headset stuff I feel like a dick when i wear one

I generally use and like a cordless phone, but one with a cord is also just as likeable.

I mostly use cell phones and have for the past five years or so. I don't like cordless phones. The sound quality sucks. I don't care for speaker phone either. Most people tend to think that their phone conversations are private.

I'm not bothered which type, I answer the one that's nearer. One of the first two options.

I chose to read "regular" as a home phone.

So I picked cordless.

At work, I prefer to use my headset, and the calls just pop in to me without my doing anything to answer them.

I have just a regular trimline phone with a cord. I've used a cordless but don't own one and can't see any difference as to reception and clarity between the two. I haven't had any experience using a headset telephone or using a speaker phone.

Cordless phone. If I can find it. I kept losing mine.
Nevertheless, we got rid of our regular phones. Both my dad and I have cellphones.

I have a cordless phone at home.

And I use headsets at work.

But I wish I had cordless headset at work. My life would be so much easier!

I have to say cordless, but I do 99% of my calling on my cell phone.

I love having my cordless phone for moving around the house plus going outside to my car. It is so much easier to have a cordless phone like cooking and talking in the kitchen on the telephone

Cordless, so I could have it with me when a call comes, instead of having to run a mile only to miss a call.

cordless, it sux when the electricity goes out tho, i hate headsets and corded phones have become outdated

The only person I will talk to on a speaker phone is my lawyer. Hate speaker phones.

We used to have a Regular home phone in NY.. but here in IL. most people use a Cellphone, Landlines are way too expensive.,

a cordless phone, i can be walking around the house doing things while im talking

cordless all the way
