I just received this phone--does it only operate on batteries?

There is a cord that plugs into the phone and the other end plugs into your phone jack.

I have had batteries in it and out of it and it still rings either way. Could be that it gives something extra that I don't know about that I didn't read about on the paper that came with it.

There should be an AC adapter in the package. If not you need to contact the seller.

The phone does come with a battery. I am pretty sure you can use your existing sim card; however a sim card comes with it also.

no, batteries only. Sound only average...or below. In addition, I live in an urban area where the reception should be elevated, would not recommend it. Bear in mind that most of these electronic creatures are now made in China, sadly always a downgrade!!!!!

As far as I know there are no batteries involved. Each phone has a charging base that is plugged into a wall outlet.

There are batteries but they are enclosed in the phone. This is a very well made toy and an absolute grab to go toy. Baby loves it. I'm very pleased with it and its a winner and favorite.

The handset has a Li-Ion battery. I've never run down the battery to the point that I must re-charge. I surmise that it will last at least several hours like a mobile phone. Otherwise the numbers and loudness is great when using the phone. The only problem that bothered me was the ringer volume was weaker than I had expected. Being an engineer that I am, I felt that Uniden dropped the ball on this part of the design. The light works, but even then it's not like a bright flash like a strobe light to really catch your attention. Like the other person who commented, you can leave it off the cradle for a day or 2 and it should be fine. The handset has a Li-Ion battery.

This phone is a unibody phone meaning the battery cannot be changed or replaced... so the phone already has a battery.

Mine came with not much of a manual. This is a "good value" phone. I am satisfied, though it has a short battery.

Yes! The phone uses two NiMH rechargeable batteries. We have two sets of three so we could have six phones. However, only one of the bases is the base. The other base is like an extension. Next month (March), we will have had the phone five (5) years and we have had no problems at all and we are connected to the internet. Take care.

the batteries in the handsets are a battery pack. I don't think there are batteries in the base station since it plugs into the wall.

It ships with the rechargeable batteries already installed. All that you need to do upon receipt is sync the handsets with the base unit and charge the new phone.

Yes, it has a battery backup. You will need to install the batteries. It's really a great phone.

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, it just shows the caller ID on the LCD display. It's a nice phone system. The only thing I wish it had is a battery for times when the electricity goes out.
