DECT

Dear little one, do you know what a phone is? You know, the thing you talk to your friends and family on? Well, DECT is a special kind of phone that is made to work without needing to be plugged into the wall like other phones.

Most phones need to be plugged into the wall with a cable to work, but DECT phones can work without a cable because they use radio waves to talk to the main phone line. These radio waves are like tiny invisible signals that travel through the air like magic.

DECT stands for "Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications" which is a fancy way of saying that it's a special kind of phone that uses digital technology to make phone calls sound really clear and easy to hear.

These types of phones are really popular for home use because they're easy to use and you can walk around the house while you talk without having to be tied to the wall with a cord. They're also used in offices and other workplaces because they can connect to a phone system and allow people to communicate with each other without having to use their cell phones.

So there you have it - DECT phones are like magic phones that use radio waves to talk to the main phone line, and they're really popular because they're easy to use and let people talk and walk around at the same time.
