Default VoIP Handset that uses a wi-fi connection rather then wired?.

Not natively. You can do it on the VOIP side, but it needs some support
from your service provider - essentially you have multiple extensions all
with different VOIP logins. Alternatively you could run your own PABX using
something like Asterisk, and the service provider is your upstream from
there.

Thanks. I have rejected the option of running my own PABX bearing in
mind the probability of my mental decay and pre-deceasing 'er indoors.
I'll look again at VOIP providers with that in mind.
