I've two several years old but still in use wireless phones:

-  Panasonic One Touch KXTC1410 900Mhz (made in Mexico)  - works well;
-  Panasonic Super Range KXTC1019-RUB (made in Malaysia) - I don't know
what radio waves frequency it uses - it works badly even without walls.
Although with elongated aerial it works well.

I think they shouldn't interfere with harware working of 2.4Ghz...

Yes, I've seen there are other (10) channels available - I will try them
if the connection on the default 6th channel will degrade - it's good
enough now to stop experimenting and return to my programming work...

Thanks for your help!
