A jazz musician named Teri Pall invented a version of the cordless phone in 1965 but could not market her invention, as its 2-mile (3.2 km) range caused its radio signals to interfere with aircraft communications. In 1968, she sold her rights to the cordless phone to a manufacturer who modified it for practical use.
But not so long ago, the quest to rid our telephones from cords was a tricky issue rife with difficulties. The history of the cordless phone stretches back to at least 1956, when an inventor from Texas named Dr. Raymond Philips Sr first documented the idea.
