Cordless phone working?

Question

Is there any cordless phone in market whose base will work even when electricity goes off. Just by using the power from normal telelphone line.

If so, I can use the cordless phone (handset & base) continuously in my hometown where electricity goes off frequently..

Answer 1

The current from the telephone line is not enough to power up the base for cordless operation.

However, there is a combo phone where it's base has a corded handset. The corded handset still work even electricity goes off.

Answer 2

Vtech sells cordless units that you can put a rechargeable battery inside to keep the unit alive during a black out.

Answer 3

I use a UPS battery back-up system (made by APC) to power my cordless phone base stations, Router, and VoIP ATA adapter.  So if power goes out in my house, I can still make VoIP emergency call.

Answer 4

look for one with batteries. . .or get a cell phone (they work w/ or w/o elictricity from an outlet)

Answer 5

There is no way to use a cordless phone when the power goes out. You have to have a regular corded phone. Even if the cordless has batteries, its not going to work. Its the base that needs that electrical supply. Sorry. Hope it helps...

ps. i work for the phone co. If you find a phone out there that does that I will be sooooo shocked.
