Cordless Home Phone Help

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here but....

I need a phone for our upstairs and the only phone line is in my daughters nursery which isn't ideal. Downstairs we have a Bang and Olufsen phone which allows you to plug the phone in to mains and then has a seperate boxy thing with a plug and phone line which transmits the signal over so basically you can move the base unit anywhere in the house where there's a plug socket without having a phone point.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a similar phone that does this without the B&O price tag. Do all cordless phones do this? Sorry I really am quite a phone-phobic.

I know the alternative it to run an extension but this would be quite tricky in our house.

Thanks

    You just need to buy a twin pack of cordless phones, use the main one at your telephone point, the other one anywhere near a mains socket.

    Cost around the £20 mark.

    just about any twin/triple/quad phone pack does that. 1 phone connects to the line + mains, the rest just to the mains (for the recharging)
