I understand there is a 'raging debate' whether VOIP phones are better
than DECT phones. AIUI, the former work using the home Wi-Fi network
and the latter have their own radio link. Does either offer
advantages?

It's still an interesting question, and my feeling is that a house with
wifi extender/repeaters is likely to provide better coverage than a sole
DECT base. Might also work in the field with public wifi (incl stations
and trains).

I used to have a dedicated Skype phone that connected via wifi, but it
got obsoleted because they updated the server platform and the built-in
firmware wasn't upgradeable.
