Nevill's cordless/portable phone:

[Adam]

You have lost me Adam? you cannot call your own number from a mobile phone into which the base unit is connected even if the phone had sufficient range?

You have lost me.

I am trying to get more info on the portable phone Julie said Bamber planned to use.

How can you call the number the base unit is connected into? That's what you were saying is it not?

Read the thread.

It is about calling GH from WHF on the portable phone. Whether it was possible.

I think Adam means the distance to the base station inside the house ILB, the base station would be connected to the landline.  The early portable phone had limited range.

Thanks but I am confused why Adam says:

It is very doubtful Nevill's portable phone would reach GH. Even if he had the most expensive one available.

Of course it's possible if the base unit is at WHF, if the base unit is more than a 100 feet away or so then no!

If the base unit is at GH even if the mobile phone is in range you cannot ring yourself?

Please supply the source.

My reply 21 I got from AI is inconclusive on whether he could phone GH from WHF.

Please supply a source that Nevill's portable phone could call Bamber's cottage.

My reply 21 did not negate my reply 3.

Second request.

In the 1980s, "ringing out" with a portable house phone, also known as a cordless phone, involved a process similar to using a traditional landline phone, but with the added convenience of mobility within a limited range of a base station. The base station would connect to the public telephone network, and the handset would communicate with the base station via radio frequency. When a call was placed, the base station would transmit the ringing signal to the handset, which would then alert the user with a ringing tone.

So long as you was within distance of the base station within the house you could ring anywhere.  I had one, I could sit in the garden and answer calls and I could also ring out.  If I went down the street and lost contact with the base station (charging point) inside the house I couldn’t ring anywhere or answer a call, Why do you think they had numbers buttons on the phone if you couldn’t call anyone.

So the portable phone could ring GH.

Pretty obvious conclusion.

[ILB]

Either way the same function to secure an alibi would be with what he hoped a telecom check who possibly show.

Don't personally place much empathis on whatever phone he used would bolster his story me personally.

Its simple Adam, Base Station Connection:
The base station of the cordless phone was connected to the standard telephone line, just like a traditional landline phone.
 the portable phone connected to the base station through radio frequency, I think they had the technology to increase the distance of the radio frequency, but it could interfere with aircraft?

Pretty obvious conclusion.

So long as the radio frequency connected to the base station in the house ILB, why would anyone bother to have them if you couldn’t use them, to be honest, I’ve got one in my house now.

My ex husband was an anything new technophile! Back in the 80's -and it could only have been between 81 and 85 we visited the Isle of White, from where we sat in the car with a mobile phone the size of a house-brick and a pull out ariel almost a foot long, and made a call to my parents, in Essex! It was as clear as if they'd been standing next to the car. My amazement was off the scale!
