Home phone with no cable from socket?

Can you get a home phone, that doesn’t need a cable (looks like a CAT5 cable) from the phone socket to the base unit?

Am thinking some sort of wireless sender plugged into the BT socket, then a phone plugged into the mains elsewhere that it sends to?

    I think you may be overcomplicating things.

    Just get a twin DECT/cordless phone, plug that into the mains and the BT socket and put the second phone/charging dock wherever. That should do what you want.

    Or have I misunderstood?

    Maplin used to sell these. Are they what you are looking for?

    They don't seem to available any more and I can't find anything similar, at least on a quick search.

    The suggestion of a twin DECT unit seems like a good idea, unless there is a real need for something small.
