What's the big deal with cordless phone frequencies?

Asked by holli (487points) November 26th, 2010

I sent a phone to aruba. Its a V Tech CS5111. This is a 5.8 Ghz phone. The governement will not allow 900 Mhz or Dect 6.0 technology in this country. This is why I sent the 5.8. The manual, however on the 5.8 says that the base transmits at 900 Mhz while the handsets transmit at the advertised 5.8. Why does Aruba care what frequency your phone operates? And why does this phone list 2 different operating frequencies? And since the base operates at this 900 Mhz, does that make it illegal in Aruba?
