Does the obi or your cordless phone need to be plugged directly into a phone outlet? Thanks

I plugged my cordless set directly into one port and connect the other port with the original landline phone outlet of the house after unplugging the art income line to the junction box outside the house. So one number is with cordless set and the other using original landline outlets of the house

The base unit must be plugged into the phone jack and the A/C outlet. The remote units only need be plugged into the A/C outlet.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

It doesn't require a cord. The outlet plug is directly attached to the back. So you just plug it into the wall.

Yes, the main base must be plugged in and working in order to use the cordless handset.

It plugs directly into the outlet, no cord. Works well, I even sent one to family in Kenya who cook with propane.

From what I can tell each extended handset base needs to be plugged in for power but not into a wall jack. I hope that helps.

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

We plugged ours directly into a regular outdoor outlet (via an outdoor extension cord.) It worked beautifully. We received lots of compliments.

The Call Center Dialpad plugs into the phone outlet, just like any land-line phone. No electrical outlet plug is required. No batteries are required either.

Just an electrical outlet to keep the handsets charged. If using for just the cell phone it never is plugged into the phone line.

You can plug a USB-to-miniUSB cord into the base of the charger and then charge your phone without removing the battery. It does require the device to be plugged into an outlet to charge your phone. It is NOT a portable power source, though.
