...you take it out for a spin in your car, of course!
Erm, serendipitous discovery, I must say!
I was talking to my mom one morning and trying to get ready to head to work. So I figured I could talk to her enroute, I mean- we live in a cordless, wireless world now, don't we?.
So I slip on my sandals, pick up the car keys, laptop bag, lunch bag, hand bag(sigh, ALL the bags), cell phone and get into the car, pull out of the driveway and make the first turn to exit out of the subdivision. All along I am having a conversation. When I reach the next stop sign, suddenly I realise that the phone had died. Hm! The calling card couldn't have been drained, so why could it be?
A few seconds later I realize I'd been on the cordless phone. And boy! I was impressed. The signal strength was significantly long-range.
QED.
How do you test the range of a cordless phone?

LOL! impressive :)
I've done that too, walked away with cordless in hand in India, thinking i was carrying my cell. till the maid, much to my embarrassment said, "phone koduthutto ponga, ma"
hahahah, thats a very good way to test the range of a cordless. I would've loved to try it too, just that there is no cordless.
Interesting; how far were you able to take it? Many models have ranges of about 300 metres; some may have a greater range.
We have used the cordless while going out for a walk in the neighbourhood - times when we didn't want to interrupt conversations with parents and also didn't want to miss the walk.
I GUFFAWED after ages. I work the house slippers to work two weeks back and snickered so much at myself.
