Does just the main phone with answer machine need a phone jack and the other one just an electrical outlet?

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 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.

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

Hi Barbara, only 1 cprd is needed to connect the main station with one handset to the telephone line. The other handset, with a a separate base and charger just needs to be plugged in to the outlet and connects to the main unit wirelessley...It works for us in a large house - the main unit is upstairs and the secondary unit is downstairs - it will help to have the main unit located centrally....

The wire should come from the wall, into the answering machine, than out to the corded phone. If your answering machine does not have a "line" out that you can plug the phone into, than you would need this and two separate wires.

No it does not have a phone jack. It has a cord that plugs into your printer and your printer will then plug into your computer or you can have a cash register without a drawer that it will plug into we do not have it plugged into anything we just use the key to open it I hope that helps

you only need one box. If you already have standard phone jacks you should be able to jumper it to a close by phone jack and then plug phones into others. however a better choice is to use a phone system with a base unit and added remote units like a Uniden 1780-3 or -4 the base plugs into the unit and the other phones go through the base. it does not plug into a computer, it needs to be plugged into an Ethernet router. My router is in the office, the basic talk unit is in another room connected by a cat5e cable.

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

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...

I bought only the "extra" handset portion of the phone to use in a spare bedroom, which, of course, does not have the answering machine function. Sorry I couldn't help you.

Hi Dawn Amy Rhee, each handset has a charger that has to plug into an electrical outlet. Only the main base needs a phone jack + electric outlet.

The phone should work if you are plugging it into a land line, which requires a jack.

Yes- all you have to do is get a line splitter where you may have another phone plugged in. No special equipment needed. If you contact their suport they will answer every question you have- they were the absolute best- and they don't quit until they are satisfied that you have enough info.

I have this unit, and looked inside the jack. It is wired with 2 pins, so only one phone line.

The phone cord plugs into the answering machine and the answering machine plugs into the phone jack on your wall.

Nope, just a basic telephone...I bought it for power outages...cell and cordless are useless at those times.Great sound, works well, no complaints.Verrrry light.
