I bought this one over a year ago and I love it.
The second phone doesn't need to be plugged into a phone jack so you
can put it anywhere with an electrical outlet.

I have the second phone in the bathroom. This is now where I make all
my calls to the utility companies and such. You are already on hold.
:)


I see that they are selling 3 phone models for about 30$ more.

There are even some that can handle up to 10 handsets. Still with only
one phone line connection.

at a neighbor's house, like the old ads claimed.
