12:17 AM 		horrible reception on cordless phone

I have a 2.4ghz cordless phone. The static is so bad I usually can't understand the other person. Changing the channel sometimes helps a little, but never enough.

What's causing the problem, and is there a way to fix it? Other people with cordless phones have fine reception....

Thanks

Of course, if that doesn't work, it could also be your phone; but then, I use a dirt cheap cordless and get good reception in East (which seems it would be reception-hostile).
