This phone need to be plugged in to a phone jack. Sometimes we get a power outage and our phones go dead. This is the reason why we got this phone that goes only to a phone jack. Good phone and we like it

Just a regular phone jack. I really like the phone but it's a lightweight little secondary phone. My only complaint would be it's made of light plastic. From the distance it looks authentic, close up you can see it's a fairly cheap lightweight phone.

Yes. There is no plug. We are very happy with ours, as it will work when the power goes out. Even though we have cell phones, we like keeping a land line, and this phone works very well. Apparently the batteries are just for the LCD display, and you only have to plug this instrument into a phone jack. There is no other plug involved.

No, this is just the handset, there is no where to plug the phone line into. You need the base.

Yes, you connect it to your landline and it does require an outlet for the base unit. This is a elegant cordless phone, not "crap" like another reviewer said. If you like the clean styling that Apple products have, you might really like it. However, its features may or may not suit everyone. I like it, although its range is not quite what I expected.

No, it has to be plugged. You must get a lot of voicemails! Good phone though.

Yes just the answering machine/main base has to be hooked up to the phone line. All 3 base units each have an AC plug that has to be plugged into an outlet.

Both the phone base and portable handset requires a connection to an electrical outlet, so the answer to your question is "no".

Mine's plugged into the handset because I have 2 phone lines. IIRC you can plug it into the jack but it will only work for 1 line. The cord long enough that it's not a problem plugged into the handset.

It has a short cord that you need to plug into the phone after the phone is in teh cradle.

I think only wired headset plug into the handset. If I were you I'd skip this phone - it was lousy and I replaced it.

The cordless handsets only need a electrical outlet cause they are connected to the base unit

It is it's own phone. Just plug it into a phone jack, and electric, and you are good to go. I have a hard wired phone, and two wireless phones, and they all work OK.

Yes this is corrrect. In our home office, the main phone has a landlline connection wall jack plus electrical outlet. Elsewhere in the house, the other one is plugged in to only anelectrical outlet. It is a good system for a small office.

Satellite phones don't need to be plugged into a phone jack, just an electrical outlet. Perhaps your satellite phones need to be synced with your main phone. There should be directions on how to do that in the instruction manual.

yes, this phone needs a jack for the main part and just the outlet for the second. I purchased this phone for my elderly mother, and she loves it. The phone is close to her and the main is in the kitchen. It's a good phone and she is very happy.

Yes, no need for phone outlet. Just plug it in and it automatically syncs with base phone. Easy to use. I bought the base with 2 extra handsets and then ordered 2 more. Love them.
