Telephone with a corded handset

[Bob]

Is there a telephone with a corded handset that will NOT be near a phone jack?

[Taxed and Spent]

I have some in a box sitting in my barn about a mile from the nearest phone jack.

What is your question?

[Bob]

Does anyone make a telephone with a corded handset that is NOT a base-unit?

[hubops]

Yep ! ... look for the one with a reel long cord. :-)

The base-unit would be plugged into a phone jack in a different room.

Not sure theyare still available but there WERE cordless "desk sets" a few years back.

[hubops]

Do you mean a " butt set " ?

[hubops]

What would the purpose be of the cord - on such a cordless handset ?

... seems like a round wheel with square corners

You can do it with a "Magic Jack" plugged into a wifi-connected computer or laptop.

So, you want a phone that connects to a base station, wirelessly, but you want that phone to have a corded handset?

Just out of curiosity, what would be the purpose in such an arrangement? How would it be of benefit compared to a standard cordless handset?

That is the magic search term.

Stormin' Norman:

My 95-year-old mother can't use a cordless handset; she wants to talk and listen using a corded handset.

(The phone jack -- into which a base-unit would be plugged -- is in a different room in her house).

I'm not sure what you are looking for. Something has to plug into a jack. Years ago all phones were like that. Do you want a portable with the receiver in a separate base to hold it? Doubt you'll find one.

Are you wanting to put a phone in a room with no jack? Only way I know is to have a base in the room with the jack, portable in another and they are all cordless. I have four of them in the house. We have a total of seven phones in the house, plus two cell phones.

IF they do, I've never seen such a thing, even in the past. Basically what you want is not really cordless, but a wireless cord type phone. The market for such a thing would be extremely limited to the point of non-existent. What's the special purpose in mind?

[Stormin' Norman]

If you cannot find a cordless desk phone, you could also look for a cordless phone jack. Try Amazon.

It sounds to me like he wants an old style corded phone, with the handset attached by cord to the dialing part that sits on a table/wall, but that the dialing part should be wirelessly connected to a base unit that can be located elsewhere where there is a jack. Now why he wants that, IDK. But I've never seen one, even in years gone by, for obvious reasons.

[Taxed and Spent]

another good suggestion, and cheaper than the "wireless desk set" option.

[hubops]

.. is this it ?

[hubops]

.. then she can use the old vintage dial phone - through a pulse-to-tone device ..

Maybe he wants the transmitting antenna further from his brain. A few feet is very different from a few inches (or less).
