Will this phone work with NO AC power...the original Trimline phones did.

Yup just like the old days. No power needed. After I got this one I found an authentic vintage one on Ebay. Had to take it apart and clean the contacts but you can't beat the old ones. This one works fine but it just feels cheap and the ringer doesn't sound like the old ones. Your call.

I believe it will. We switched to another phone because my wife would depress the buttons against the side of her face while talking.

I don't believe so - the plus part of the phone is that when the power goes out this phone still has caller ID ans it is corded.

It will work to receive calls without the power supply plugged in, and if I recall correctly, you can also make outgoing calls. The display is blank without a power supply plugged in. I don't remember if the caller id directory shows the history for the period when the phone was unplugged.Regards, Dan

No the phone will not work. Any phone that has to be plugged into an electrical outlet will go out when the power does. I have a special phone for power outages. It only hooks into the phone outlet. No electrical power is involved. But I have Verizon- not a cable company.

No. this device is not Z-Wave compatible. It does not require AC power, it uses one 3V CR123A lithium Battery.

I just read all land line phones work with digital. This is a traditional land line phone. But this phone draws power from the old fashioned phone wires. You may need some type of adapter. I would check with your service to determine if they provide DC power for old type telephones. Best answer I have for you.

The beauty of this highly capable phone is that it does not need a power outlet. simply plug thee telephone jack into the tel wall outlet and you are set!!! Happy Phoning!

Phone is provided with an AC cord. There does not seem to be any provision for batteries, so only basic dialing would work--other features, not.

No electrical line required. This phone uses 3 AA batteries. The batteries last a long time. I don't think I need to change them more than once a year.

Only works if the power is on for voip/vonage type phone service. Traditional land line phone service is powered through the phone company and would still work during a power outage.

Yes this phone comes with an ac adapter. Batteries are only used in case of power failure So far this phone is great an we have had no problems.

It needs AC power. I don't know if it'll work with a Samsung s6 phone. I use a Motorola phone.

This phone will not work with a power outage with your cable company or if you had an AT&T landline connection, either. The base transmits to the phone using electricity, so if there is no electricity, it can not transmit. The only phone that might work with a power outage is an old-style cord phone - such as what we had years ago.

No. It has no batteries to use for a backup. So if the power quits, so does the phone

Yes... Each separate handset has it's own rechargeable batteries and charging cradle (shown in the picture). Just plug it into the AC outlet and follow the instructions to "sync" it with your existing system. I found it easy to do, and took just a few minutes.

I have not tried to use the phone without batteries. However, looking at the manual, it does seem to imply that the batteries need to be in place to use a headset. The phone itself will work without batteries, but some of the features won't. You can see the entire manual here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTS105B.PDFThe phone does not come with an AC adapter, so power outtages will not affect it one way or the other.

Yes, the corded base station will still work, but some of the features will not. Having the security of the phone during a power outage gives great peace of mind.
