You can find the gigaset phones in the UK here:

I doubt that Siemens would even accept the warrenty in the US if the phone was bought in the UK for the obvious reasons. In addition, as I have learned, US has a different freq. standard than the UK/Europe. Here its DETC, in the US its something else.
The phones would probably work in the US on the band, even though they work o na different band that is not licensed I doubt anyone in the US would raise a hand over a cordless household set. However, I am not just sure about the services such as Caller ID which would probably not work?
How about other parts of Europe, such as France, I could order them from there and brign them to the US?
It is just that the US has an appaling selection of cordless phones, they all look like fisher price toys rather than handsets, and in Europe Siemens is highly regarded and their phones are excellent. In the US, Siemens offers a limited selection of what now seem to be archaic phones that were poorly ranked for voice quality (comparable UK/Europe models from 3-4 years ago).
I was thinking, it would be nice to have a SkyPe connection over there, using the Gigaset 34 USB adapter and a nice Siemens phone like S445 phone with good integration with analogue phones.
Does anyone know of any respecitve US cordless phones cause all the consumer stuff looks like crap.
