Corded phone handset help

WildDunes — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 19:45:45 GMT

I have a corded phone (which I need to have) with handsets and do not want at this time to move the phone line so I can move the base phone to my desk.

Anyone know of a system where the handsets have speakerphone or mic jack capabilities?

My cordless phone had a base set, which was plugged into the landline and electric outlet, along with handsets that only needed an electric outlet. The handsets did have an option for speaker phone.

I got mine from Amazon a few years ago. Panasonic.

@geezerette Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Haven't found yet but will keep looking.

I have the same Panasonic system as a previous poster. I've had mine quite awhile now. Got mine years ago when it was a TS on HSN.

If your desk is on the same wall (not across the room) from your corded phone, you can buy a phone extension cord and run the line along the baseboard.

I have the Panasonic set as well. I got mine at Costco a number of years ago. I want to say 2007ish? When I first started working from home.

I also have a Panasonic cordless set of 2 and both handsets have the speaker phone option. They are so old, I don't remember when I bought them. I'm sure some retail store still has something similar for sale. QVC doesn't allow links to other stores so, do a google search. Good luck.

I have a VTech phone with four handsets. Each handset has a speaker button plus each handset has an intercom button on it to page any of the other handsets, just like a walkie-talkie.

To all who helped with device info, thank you so much. I had already started a Google search but decided to also reach out to the Blog and you came through.

@WildDunes

You have a "corded phone with handsets". Unless I don't understand your question, all phones with handsets, need to be plugged into a phone Jack, with a phone cord. I actually made the plastic jacks on 1 of my jobs at AT&T.

I have had several different name brand phones, with multiple handsets. I don't remember any of them that did not have a speakerphone on every handset, and on the base.

I did have one brand that did have a Jack to plug in headsets or a mic. That was a long time ago, and even that same brand quit including that Jack. Probably cost a dime more to manufacture.

Never read anything but this post before replying, same with all original posts on all threads. Seems I am missing something in your question. "Corded Phone"! Hmmm

@hckynut My current landline with 4 handsets is a very old Uniden that still works great, I just have a need for the speakerphone or mic feature on a handset.

The base phone is plugged in by phone jack; the handsets are each plugged into a/c, no phone jack; no phone card involved unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by that. The base has a speakerphone but the handsets do not nor do they have a mic slot.

Yes, corded phone. I need to keep one for now.

@WildDunes

Sounds like your phones are really old. I had Uniden years ago, and I think that was the handset's that had the headset Jack, and speakerphone, both. Yours have to be operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency if they are that old.

I an presuming you do not have the funds to upgrade, or that to me would be the simplest route to what you want in your phone system. Don't know if they even make cordless handsets without speakerphone anymore, and most are DECT 6.0 that run on the 1.9GHz frequency.

Will have to go back and read your original post again. Maybe a am still missing your exact goal.

ETA: Read your original again. Exactly how far do you want to move the base, as that is what it sounds like you want to do, right? If you only have 1 in wall jack, that's my best guess. You can buy 100' cords and even buy connectors to add another, or more 100' foot cords.(originally said CARDS).

@hckynut I have the funds to purchase a new system which is what I am going to do. Not knowing that all or most handsets now have speakerphones or mic jacks, I was asking for suggestions on which systems do.

I know about the cords. Used one to run from base to the bedroom to connect with remote base unit for husband's defibillator. But no, don't want or need to move the base. Just need to research the phone's.

Thanks for your input. I always read your posts; you are so helpful to all of us out here asking questions.

Panasonic! I got mine on HSN. It's corded and comes with 3 cordless handsets. They all have the speakerphone feature. They are selling their updated version which is the same and it now has an updated call blocking feature for those pesky, unwanted tele marketers. Go to their website and search for it. I think it was 119.00 it's worth it. Have mine for 6 years. It's like new.

I did pick up a Panasonic corded with handsets from HSN. The handsets have speakerphone which is a big help to me as I'm on a board and committees that often result in some lengthy phone conversations. Not having to hold the phone is wonderful. Thanks to all for your help.
