I need to have an extra phone jack installed in my home. I was talking
to a guy who installs them, and he said it has to be "within 3 feet of
a wall receptacle." And he said something about this being in the NEC.

Has anyone heard of this? I can't see what one has to do with the
other.

Cordless phones need an electrical outlet, but I don't know what the NEC
says.

Some do, some don't. Most phones you buy in the store with more than a
1-line display, have a wall wart transformer.
