Have you been floowing this thread? "cordless desk set" is the magic

I thought the OP wanted something simple.



This is simple, just expensive. Why is it expensive? Because there are
only a few dopes in the world that would buy something like this.

Actually itm was a fairly successful business phone system. Good for
small flexible office spaces where premise wiring was a problem.

This got me thinking, why would anyone want a business phone system
that uses corded handsets? It would seem that cordless is more
convenient, you can be talking to someone and go get something
you need off the shelf, go get a cup of coffee, etc. I think maybe
the issue is in an office of any size you'd have so many phones
that the channel space, interference, among many phones, etc becomes
an issue? But then you'd have the same wireless problem with this
one, between all the bases and the main unit.

Ever heard the expression "You'd lose your head if it wasn't bolted on" ?

Some people (especially "office workers") would:
1. misplace the handset and spend hours looking for it
2. forget to put it in the charger overnite
3. stick it in a pocket or purse, take it home, and forget to bring
back next day
4. or take it to lunch so no one in office could answer calls at that
desk/station

also,
1. be stolen by someone who thinks it's a cellphone
2. some people (like the OP's Grandma) are not comfortable with a
cordless handset or cellphone

I agree, 1 through 1a are all very good reasons, I hadn't
thought of. Also depends on
the business. If it's some family business a cordless could be
fine, if it's something where you have a bunch of min wage
knuckleheads, who knows what they could do with an uncorded phone.
