Do the extra hand sets have to be plugged into a phone jack or can they just be plugged into the electrical outlet like some others?

Only the main recording device or base charging unit needs to be plugged into a power source and a phone plug. The other phones only need to be charged by plugging the smaller units into any electrical outlet. Any of the phones can be charged in any of the chargers.

You absolutely do NOT need to plug this phone into an electrical outlet in addition to the phone jack. These folks who are saying that you do are wrong. I own 2 of these.

Yes, no need for phone outlet. Just plug it in and it automatically syncs with base phone. Easy to use. I bought the base with 2 extra handsets and then ordered 2 more. Love them.

You receive everything you see here. The larger base must be connected to both electricity and your land line telephone jack connection. The second smaller base can be placed elsewhere in the home and must be plugged into electricity. All features, including the answering machine, can be accessed through each phone itself. You don't have to go to the larger base to hear the answering machine. This can be very convenient. Again, we have had these phones for years and are very happy with them.

They do need to be plugged in. I suppose that is what allows the phone's battery to recharge.

You have to have a base to use the accessory hand sets. My base is a vtec cs6619. I put the new handset in the base and within a few seconds it beeped and was registered. It worked fine for me.

Got the same question about the phone jacks. It's pathetic that they are not marked.

The handsets have a jack on the side, if memory serves, where you can plug in something like: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4340625&utm;_source=Google&ut;m_medium=PPC&utm;_term=55039727&utm;_content=Exact&utm;_campaign=PLA&%7bifmobile:ds_dest_url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.radioshack.com%2Fradioshack%2Fproduct%2Fdetail.do%3FitemId%3d4340625%26utm_source%3dGoogle%26utm_medium%3dPPC%26utm_term%3d55039727%26utm_content%3dExact%26utm_campaign%3dPLA%7d&cagp;spn=pla&gclid;=CLi6u72elLkCFUoQKwodbT0AAA&gclsrc=ds.dsThe base unit may require you to get a plantronics inline with pickup... look for the cordless one, it's handy, but people can't tell when you are on the phone.

the handsets recharge on the bases. THe bases must be plugged in but the handsets do not. When the handset is fully discharged it must be placed back on the base to recharge. I've never had this to be an issue.

No, each handset plugs into any outlet and only the base needs connected to a phone jack.

No. There is no headset jack on the corded base. Why would you want one on there anyway? If there was one, and you plugged a headset into it...you would still have to stay in one place to use it as the base is CORDED. Meaning you couldn't move around with it. At least the cordless phone can clip to your shorts or pants and you can plug a headset into it and move around. If the corded base had a headset jack, you wouldn't have freedom of movement.

I thnk if you contact the manufacturer that you may be able to purchase additinal hand sets. I really like this phone and good luck with your purchase!

The main phone needs a phone line and an electrical connection. The other phone, or phones, need only to be plugged into an electical outlet. This is because they need to be charged. They can remain off the base for quite a while until needing a recharge.

I have three handsets all are plugged into electrical but only one is plugged into the phone line. Hope that helps!
