Hey all. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a landline to be a wireless headset?
Need reliable 3-handset cordless phone with 2.5mm headset option
Look at gigaset handsets. Not all of them support srtp and tls though.
More on reddit.comWired headset that works with Panasonic cordless phone?
Does anyone know if an integrated landline phone + cordless headset exists?

I am getting Vonage VOIP and don't want to run new phone wires. Since I need 2 phones, I need to get a 3-handset product. The first (main) unit will sit with the router and the other two (which must ONLY require wired power, NOT telephone lines, should communicate with the base over the air) units will be where they are needed. Phones must:
-
Be compatible with Vonage VOIP. I assume all phones that take a 2-wire telephone line should work, right?
-
Have good range.
-
Additional bases must be able to communicate over the air with the main base requiring no phone lines to be run to it.
-
Have wired headset option (usually a 2.5mm jack).
I found lots of units at the $40-$60 price range, but it doesn't say if they have the 2.5mm headset option.

Hurray for getting new phones and don’t let this post stop you from doing that.
..but if phone wire already exists at the locations you want phones, you could just disconnect the house/apartment/condo phone lines from the local phone companies POP (CPE, DEMARC, whatever box on the side of your house / apartment). Once you do that, connect the ATA (VoIP to analog converter) from Vonage to any jack in your house and all jacks will be live on that Vonage line.
If that sounds to complicated, a low voltage cabling company could do it for you in about 5 minutes and shouldn’t cost more than a service trip minimum which (depending on where you live) should be less than the cost of new phones.
To directly answer you question on cordless phones, I’ve always had decent results with Panasonic units. Anything in the KX-TG line will likely fit your needs.
Any ideas would be great. So I have a landline phone. Requires phone Jack. But I’m curious if anyone found a way to make it witless? Ty
