I have gone through a variety of phones in the last few years, so Im well qualified to answer this !!!
If you are clear that you do not want your phone to interfere with your wireless networks (wi-fi interference), your choices are limited to three options, 900mhz, 5.8ghz and Dect phones. Out of these, the 900mhz phones are hardly available and are being phased out. 5.8ghz phones are available in plenty with Panasonic, Uniden and G.E, but these phones come with high capacity and non-standard batteries which cost over Rs 600 to change every two years. Not worth it.
The best option right now is the DECT phones. These work on the 1.8ghz to 1.9ghz range, thus are wireless friendly. Most importantly, they take AAA rechargable batteries that are easily available and thus have a 150 hour standby time on the supplied batteries. If you buy higher capacity AAA rechargable batteries, the standby time increases like crazy ! Panasonic and Philips makes the best DECT phones and Panasonic is easily available in the grey market and ebay, Im not sure about the availability in the showrooms (I have noticed that the showrooms are still pushing the old cordless Panasonic models).
I recently bought Panasonic KX-TG7233 DECT phone from ebay and am extremely happy with the quality and clarity.
In case the previous message about wireless interference did not register with you, the issue is that the widely available 2.4ghz phones work on the same band as your wireless routers. So they clash and you will keep getting disconnects on either side when the phone and the wireless router are on simultaneously. For your sake and for the sake of your neighbours, please do not get a 2.4ghz phone !!!
A Panasonic basic DECT Phone costs Rs 2.1k in ebay. You can get it for slightly cheaper than this price in the grey market.

Im neither drunk nor crazy, more importantly, I do not shoot my mouth off like a idiot like you. Read further and understand what happened.
TE has a new feature wherein if two posts follow each other from the same author, the posts are merged one after another automatically. This is done to make sure that people do not keep bumping their own threads. I first replied to your two liner message with a detailed answer and this message had your msg as a quote in the end.
Then I posted another reply to explain my own statements in case it was not clear. When the posts merged, it looks like the quote was for the second part of the msg when it reality it was a result of my two posst being merged.
Learn to behave in public and do not always assume that the other person is wrong and you can take a moral high ground. Also do not assume that people are out to discredit you, you are not that important.
