Is this a cordless phone that can be used without using any other phone or must be be coupled with another phone connected to a phone outlet?

Yes it is. It's not a satellite. It's a stand-alone phone that connects to an outlet and doesn't require a base phone. HTH :)

correct - stand alone phone. though note that the same phone is being sold without the base station, and these phones are NOT stand alone. You must make sure that you buy the one with the base station, not just the handset.

You need a phone jack for the main phone and just an outlet for the 2nd phone. But both are cordless and do come with all the necessary attachments.

It is cordless. It has a cord for charging. It will not turn on while it is charging.

only the base phone has to be in a telephone jack. The satilites need only be plugged into an electric outlet.

Cordless means there is no wire between the phone and the base or charger. You have to plug the main one, the base, with the answering machine into both power and telephone line outlets. The second phone's charger needs to be plugged into the power outlet only. Cordless means you can walk around the house and sometimes outside within limits of it's range while talking or making calls without dragging a long cord with you. The phone should be returned to the base or charger when not in use to keep the battery charged.

Both the phone base and portable handset requires a connection to an electrical outlet, so the answer to your question is "no".

If you have a standard phone jack...this phone is a standard no frills phone. It has no electrical cord or batteries for functions you do not need for a phone to make a call or receive a call. It is not an alarm. It is not a hands free. It is not a cordless. I was tired of hearing garbled or diminished staticky reception. This phone has beautiful clarity which we have not experienced for YEARS! We had phones in this house which were obviously inferior. NOW to your most important question...keep or make sure you have a true land line. We bundled our cable, home phone, and internet with a cable company. When we first subscribed 10 years ago, it was questionable if the phone would still work during power outages and/or with 911 OR when cable service goes out. We still on occasion will experience a problem when the cable service goes completely dead. Check with your service provider and grill them on your concerns. This phone will more than likely not be the problem. This is a standard old fashioned phone that is still manufactured as a quality product because businesses and hotels/motels need to have these. Cellphones are unreliable and overrated and do not serve the primary purpose RELIABLY to call someone when you NEED to call someone. I hope my observations help.

I don't see why not as long as you are near an outlet it's not cordless. It is small, light, and easy to use, but it won't get in the nooks and crannys.

This is a corded applicance. But it is not too big where it doesn't handle like it's cordless. You do have to plug it in.

I have not had trouble with cordless phones, but you must have land line not satelite phone hook up.you also need power to the ringer

This particular model is not cordless. It is corded and runs on electricity. There may be other cordless models, but not this one!

No it isn't cordless. In my opinion, though, the cord isn't a problem at all.

I believe that you need to plug in one phone/answering machine and the rest can be cordless.

I think that this phone plugs into a regular phone jack. It should work without AC electric power.

You can not use two cordless at the same time, I tried it. However, you can use the corded one and one of these at the same time.

This is a cordless handset. It is an extra that goes along with the base answering machine.

It says you can in the description: "Rechargeable cordless and corded use" - but others say it can not be used plugged in, so maybe the version on sale now allows it?
