There might be reasons to do that, but avoiding interference isn't one of
them, and I don't think you want a VoIP phone unless you need it.

I bought a Panasonic KX-TG5453 at Costco. This is three handset,
5.8GHz-only. I've always liked Panasonic phones and answering machines.
The KX-TG5432M with two handsets, is $108 at Radio Shack.

It is fully featured, and the audio quality is superb. Each handset has a
speakerphone, spoken caller ID, separate phonebooks, and distinctive
ringtones, and different lights on the antenna for personalized distinctive
ringing.

It even says "Wireless Network Friendly" on the package, ignoring 802.11a,
I suppose. It lists 802.11b/g on the specs.
