I have DECT hubs (one in use and two spare). I tested the range yesterday and it is inadequate. I know they don't use broadband to communicate to the handset but they do use it to pick up the SIP calls. That is the point I am making.
EDIT. We live in a London flat which is small compared with where many of our out of London friends live. We have a phone socket in our spare bedroom and it often is used by friends staying the night.
When I experimented yesterday a handset linking by DECT to a DECT hub next to our router was out of range. To solve that problem I would need to provide a broadband socket in the spare bedroom and buy a Voip phone - or get one of Meatball's chums to come in and implement Voice Reinjection thereby. Not a hard decision to take!
And yes, I know about DECT extenders. I have one and adding them reduces the number of extensions the hub can support.
