Hidden base phone

Hi

For various reasons my parents phone cable needs re-routing - comes into the property via a cupboard. Rather than tack the cable back in - is there a phone with a base that could sit in the cupboard - with 2 satellite phone, with access to an answerphone etc?

Just a thought

John

    With a Panasonic phone plus an answer machine you can access any messages from any of the phones.

    They'd need an adjacent mains power supply but, then, many DECT/Answering machine systems would meet their needs (i.e. message pickup from handset or base).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • Cool, cheers all!
