Yes! The chargers do need to be plugged into an electric outlet. Handsets however are cordless, and have batteries (that must be charged occasionally, how often depends on use).

Yes, it has a plug in power cord. It does not have a handset cord; strictly cordless on handset. Great phones. Have had them 26 months without a single problem. Great voice quality, crystal clear.

Each handset comes with a charger that only needs to be plugged into electric and not a telephone line.

No this is a classic no frills old school phone. No external power source is needed. Perfect for power outages as long as the phone lines are not down somewhere on you're grid.

The base unit on which the handset sits has to be plugged in but the handset itself is cordless.

The cordless handsets only need a electrical outlet cause they are connected to the base unit

No, the larger base plugs into a standard phone outlet and an electrical outlet ( here in California). The other handset bases simply plug into an electrical outlet. We have had this set for over 5 years and only had to replace handsets when they went swimming in my husbands pocket!

The phone that we purchased has a handset that can be replaced. It has a plug and is not hard wired. Hope that helps.

This phone need to be plugged in to a phone jack. Sometimes we get a power outage and our phones go dead. This is the reason why we got this phone that goes only to a phone jack. Good phone and we like it

Yes. They have a plug connected to them inside each handset. They are rechargeable.

As others have stated, no electric wiring hookup needed, just the phone wire and the batteries. This is what makes it perfect when there is a power outage: You can still call the power company to report an outage, plus any other calls.

The Call Center Dialpad plugs into the phone outlet, just like any land-line phone. No electrical outlet plug is required. No batteries are required either.

Yes. There is no plug. We are very happy with ours, as it will work when the power goes out. Even though we have cell phones, we like keeping a land line, and this phone works very well. Apparently the batteries are just for the LCD display, and you only have to plug this instrument into a phone jack. There is no other plug involved.

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