Is it used with a standard wall phone jack/cord. My mother has a landline phone and says the phone cord doesn't fit into this vetch phone? Why is that

Hi Bonnie,Yes, the phone takes a standard landline cord, same as any landline phone. Maybe the cord your Mom has is damaged in some way.

I had a shorter cord lying around the house that I used, so I never tried the longer cord that came with the phone.

yes, ours fit with the standard wall phone jack. Not sure why hers doesn't fit.

It appears not. Both the line cord from the wall and the stretch cord from the base to the handset are direct-wired into the unit. There is a good deal of discussion about this in the reviews associated with this item.

It has a phone jack connection recessed about 1/2 inch from the surface of the back. If your wall connection point is a jack, then you should be able to connect the two with a short cord.

It will not work with a cell phone. It will not work with the handeset of a cordless phone connected to a landline. It will work when it is plugged into a phone jack on the wall and then into a corded phone or the base of a cordless landline phone. It must also be an "analog" phone, which means that Internet services (VOIP) like Vonage and Comcast Digital Voice will not work. If you have basically the kind of phone service you had it 1980, it will work fine. I also note that when you are programming it, even with the base of a cordless phone, the phone must be "off the hook" while programming. So if you have a cordless phone you need to hear the dial tone while you program the numbers. Finally, note that if you unplug the unit from the phone line, it will lose all the numbers and they will need to be re-entered. It has no battery backup of any sort. But how often does you phone line go dead? Not often for me, so it seems to be an acceptable limitation for me.

If the pre-wiring for your landlines is done with a four conductor cable. The phone only uses two of these wire, usualy the red and green. The remaining black and yellow are there for a second line or for low voltage power phone accessories. However you may receive some cross talk from the phone line to the intercoms if someone is using the phone. I am only offering this has a possible solution to your problem. I am in no way a professional installer. Please contact a professional and confirm.

There should have been 2 cords with phone. One of the cords will give dial tone on 1st line. Other cord will give dial tone on both phone lines. And not to be silly...you do need a working phone connection.

We have a panasonic cordless phone with one base unit and four hand sets. Mine is between the wall jack and the main base unit. It should close to a wall plug as well.

This does not work between the wall jack and phone; it goes between the phone and your handset. Will not work with cordless handset type phone.

I think you're asking whether the unit will work with a digital VOIP phone connected through, for example, a cable modem. I don't know. I haven't tried it. There's no distinction made in the manual between a regular POTS land line and a digital line. I've seen one review saying it did not work with a digital line, but you can't go by one review. Digital lines vary -- for example, some will work with a regular fax machine and others won't. You probably have to test it on your particular system.

yes, I have mitel phones and the headset must plug into a regular phone cord type jack, this one does and it works great! I highly recommend it.

This is the same cable which is used between corded phone and handset and is using jack RJ22, but cable between handset and corded phone usually has only 2 wires connected, unfortunately scales need all 4 wires, in other case it will not work correctly (I've just tried). So connectors are RJ22, but with all 4 wires connected on both sidesrj10 is also another name for rj22

This will not work with the standard smart phone connection jack. It is aUSB connection only.Too bad it was not designed that way

Yeah, the handset is attached by a modular handset cord, it's not like the really old-style phones where the cord was permanently attached. The cord running from the handset to the phone base has the standard 4P4C jacks (also called RJ-9 jacks) for phone handset connection, while the phone connects to the wall jack by (the slightly bigger) RJ-11 connections.

I have this phone. The handset has a standard plug on both it and at the phone, so you can simply plug your headset into the phone receptacle instead of using the handset cord.

Not sure about vetch, but it does work great with my Panasonic house phones and my Samsung cell phone.

No - This works with a landline phone using a standard telephone connection.

The smaller plug (of the handset) goes into the SMALL recepticle of the VEC TRX, the short, coil cord of the VEC TRX goes into the recepticle the handset plug came out of and I use the cord on the VEC TRX with the round plug on my recorder to record the phone conversationes, just like our friends do. The phone cord stays in the wall outlet Simple. Logic.
