Bob-
A better approach would be to install a phone jack where your Mother wants the phone. If you can't do it, you can hire someone. That might be less expensive than your cordless corded phone!

That is a wireless phone jack, but the reviews are poor and it is not in stock at Walmart.
Or string a long telephone RJ-11 extension cable along the baseboards, down the hallway and thru the doors.
It won't be the prettiest, but it won't be permanent.
Like this one:
Basically a "tether" to keep it from wandering, and "old school" feel, I guess.
Why don't you just attach a lanyard between a cordless handset and its cradle?
Nope - not with IP Phones.
Plug standaed phone into "magic jack" - connect "magic jack" to wifi connected laptop. Set up Magic Jack.
Or for a wee bit more, use OOMA with the TELO adapter. Plug any phone you want into the OOMAbox, connected by WIFI to your internet.
Absolute total waste of electrons, from first hand experience.
I've tried the RCA units. As previously noted, a total waste of electroms. Absolutely totally useless, from my experience. Might have been because the 2 outlets I had to use were on opposite sides of the electrical service - but I think I tried them both on the same OUTLET and they still didn't work worth crap.
That sounds like the first cordless phone I ever saw, around 50 years ago. It looked like a standard desk phone except with a (telescoping aluminum rod) antenna. It was being used next to a swimming pool.
I have no idea how you'd find something like that now.
If a few inches matter for that, phones should be made with the antenna pointing DOWN.
I've had similar (bad) experiences with wireless phone jacks.
Ebay? Probably small chance even there, but who knows.
Maybe. If you could figure out what to ask for in no more than 3-4 words.
Good point. Anything to do with cordless phones, you'd get 2,000 hits, Which is an annoyance on Ebay for many items. They do have categories that help sometimes, but they need a filter for "complete item". Many times you want the complete thing, but a lot, or most of the hits are for pieces of it, parts for it, etc.
Have you been floowing this thread? "cordless desk set" is the magic search term.
Well, that unit would be the *remote* cordless-only unit in Grandma's room, but it requires a companion *base* unit, which would connect to a land line wall jack in some other room.
Shown here:
yes, are you surprised?
Yes, I've been following the thread, but apparently you have not. The OP specifically asked for a CORDED phone that could be used away from the location of phone jack that's in another room. He wants a cord from the handset to the base. The phone you found is CORDLESS. We all know those exist and you can get one for one third that $140 price.
I see a cord from the handset to the base. It is cordless to the other room. This is a stupid thread anyway.
