Wall mount cordless (DECT) phone.

Aug 12, 2017 11 Replies

I have a wall mount DECT phone branded Wharfdale. Really nice design - the base station is a sort of half ball, and the docking part can be rotated within that for either wall or table mount. And the wiring can go into a cavity wall etc without showing. Think it came from Argos.



It still works, but seems to have a charging fault. The two AAAs are getting pretty hot. Fitted new ones - same thing.



Anyone know where I can buy similar? Argos doesn't seem to list anything said to be wall mount - and neither does Ebay.



It has to look good, though. Don't want something on a shelf or ugly bracket with cables showing.


I think some of the Siemens Gigaset phones come with wall mount chargers, our old[ish] a series one has a wall mount base.

I have two Gigaset C430 DECT phones where the GP750 batteries were getting hot but the phones showed not charged. I changed the batteries for Duracell ones and they now work fine. The phones and original batteries are only about 18 months old.

I think they all tend to cook batteries. Are you sure its not always been that way?

That is because they always cook them by making the trickle charge more like ariver charge, if you get my drift.

In the older ones they still supply grotty nicads too, but it seems the new nickel metal hydrides do not really like the charging in the older systems much. Brian

John Lewis offer a Siemens' wall mounting one.

Thanks, Charles, I'll have a look.

Take a look at the Panasonics too - ISTR they have/had wall mountable base stations. Only the satellites wall mount on mine though. Good phone

- must be 20 years old and replaced the batteries once. Just that I almost never use it.

I looked at Panasonic on the Argos site - since I like that brand too. But everything seemed to be the usual table mount bases. I'd like one which looks like it was made specifically for wall mount rather than a bracket to allow this.

The one I have at the moment is clever. It's a sort of half ball base. The dock for the phone can be rotated between table or wall mount. So simple I'm surprised they don't all have it.

+1 for Panasonic, but it fails on the "must look good" requirement when wall mounted :)

If you go to

you can search with wall mountable as one of the options and it comes up with 67 models of cordless with two handsets

Can't recommend anything wall-mounted, but can second LiGo for service
