Just to verify, this needs a phone jack but does NOT have to be plugged into a phone (base)?

It has phone in phone out and power. It is very loud I have it in my school automotive shop and the ringer is set to low. I unplugged the phone to test it for you and it rings.

NO, it is dependent on regular phone line jack which of course a cell phone does not have.

Yes. There is a telephone cord that comes out of the back of the charger and plugs into the phone base.

You absolutely do NOT need to plug this phone into an electrical outlet in addition to the phone jack. These folks who are saying that you do are wrong. I own 2 of these.

yes. the main base must be plugged into a phone jack and a wall outlet. the second just plugs into a wall outlet. both bases charge both phones which is nice if you wander downstairs with the upstairs phone.

Just the base is connected to a phone jack. You will want power for the other handsets to charge in the cradle. I have been impressed with this phone so far, the sound is clear and has good range.

No. This is a simple bare bones phone. It's sounds great and I got it because I didn't want a phone with any additional electronics or anything else to plug in.

No, it does not plug into my phone base. It plugs into the handset. My phone being cordless, has a port (hole) in the side of the phone (handset) that I plug into. In this way, I can plug the headset into the the portable phone, make a call, toss the phone in my pocket, and my hands are free to do housework, sewing etc without holding the phone.

The base unit requires a phone jack connection to a land line. Therefore use must have a land line for this unit to work.

Built-in, but maybe if you pry the phone open, there's a plug. The line goes straight. from the phone to the jack; the base is just hooked onto the line mechanically

Hello, no you must have a phone attached. Think of the unit as basically a Bluetooth speaker with a clock.

No. It is powered by an AC adapter and attaches to the phone by regular telephone cable.

No, this phone is part of a system. The base is just for charging and the phone itself must be paired with the home base station, sold separately. This product is for adding an additional phone to a preexisting system.

No, it does not, other than the cord connecting the body to the handset. It is made to be directly plugged into the wall jack.

Hello Kelly, I bought this item (and returned it) because I thought it was a telephone. It is not a phone, it is a handset...you may have realized this, I did not. If I recall, it was a very simple piece of equipment and would probably not have had a jack...

Only the base requires a phone jack. The extensions only are used for charging.

No battery is required. Yes it comes with a cord to plug into the phone jack.
