Hello,
We have this cordless phone we purchased a while
back and some folks complain that if they talk
for a long amount of time, the handset gets a bit warm
and affects their head, etc.

The phone doesn't have a built-in speaker capability.

I was wondering if I could attach a speakerphone to
this phone and then have the others stay a bit away from
the handset. Is this possible?

Also, is there much emf being emitted from cordless units?

let me know if it's possible...

No, not much emf / rf energy to worry about..... a whole lot less than
a cell phone.
No, not very easy to attach a speaker to your cordless handset.
Maybe you should try a different model or brand of phone that runs
cooler so it won't bother "some folks"..... but don't let them hold it
with their hot hands.

Adding a *headset jack* might be relatively trivial; but with cordless
phones so equipped bringing $10-20 on sale at Walgreens, why bother?

Hi jak...

Never thought of that or would have suggested it. Worth checking,
mine already has one (Memorex). Bought a new phone - weird thing that
clips onto your belt and had a headset with it for 3 dollars at a
dollar type store. Threw the phone part away, plugged the headset
into my cordless and works fine. Great for lengthy talks with
grandkids

Maybe the op will be lucky and be able to do the same

Take care.
