They're nice to have if (like me) you occasionally have to attend
long-distance training courses and are on a conference call for 7 hrs
straight.


There are multi-handset cordless phones. Some make it as easy to
change between handsets as with different phones. You can change
handsets when you get a low battery warning.

Or during a power outage. (I know they make cordless phones with a
second battery in the base for just this scenario, but they aren't very
common.)

I have mine plugged into a UPS (the same UPS that's connected to some
of my A/V and network equipment). Runtime is limited, but at least it
gives you plenty of time to get to a corded phone.
