I wouldn't worry about clicking... It's just CIA tapping your phone. Use as usual

oh, and BTW, it sounds like you bought someone else's lemon...

i'd try to return it.

i've had a lot of trouble with all the cordless phones i've tried - and have found the one that works best in THIS particular electronic environment is the simplest thing i can get my hands on... a cheap, one line, NO frills vtech that they don't even make anymore. having tried so many with such poor results, i fear the day it craps out.

do you live in a urban area? apartment building?
if so, you may be having trouble with finding a channel that's not already absolutely packed with phones, garage door openers, etc.

look for something with very few bells and whistles.
and then experiment with different channels.

I thought you were going to say "I live in a high-rise, so I will chuck it at some poor sap below." Your way is so anticlimactic.
