Cordless phones

Options
Please someone help me urgently.

I know nothing about cordless phones. Someone has told me all you ned to do is 'just plug it in'.

Now does this mean that you plug it into the phone jack, a power socket or both?

Need to know asap!

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Both :)

    That is to say the base unit has to be plugged in to both the phone jack and a power source. The handset itself is then obviously wireless :)

    Th base needs to be plugged into the mains and the phone jack so you can make and receive calls

    Do they interfere with WiFi? I've got wireless broadband.
