Does this phone have an external electric cord that must be plugged into an outlet?

No. The unit requires 3 batteries for the LCD display. It does not have the power cord option.

No, it needs to be hard wired, if there's no cord out of the wall, usually there's a port under the actual phone I've connected to and it has worked

No. There is just a wired connection on the back to plug the phone in. It does not plug directly into the unit as it appears either.

Yes it does. I think I purchased the cord that allows you to,plug it in to an electrical socket separately.

The phone came with a charger with a USB outlet you plug in to a computer to charge. It also came with an adapter for a 110v outlet. It did not come with the 220v adapter.

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 beauty of this highly capable phone is that it does not need a power outlet. simply plug thee telephone jack into the tel wall outlet and you are set!!! Happy Phoning!

The phone will work as a telephone. The caller ID and answering functions need the power cord. Also the ring without the external power is different. I just tested the phone with and without the power cord to check this answer.

It doesn't require a cord. The outlet plug is directly attached to the back. So you just plug it into the wall.

No. Just a connection wire. You need the wall socket unit to unite with the cord and power source, which you should have with your smart phone anyway.

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.

It is like a regular cordless phone and nothing else... You can connect it directly to the land line... The base unit will need power outlet.

Yes. There are no power cords. Just the old school phone outlet plug. The phone is great and holds up well. Made well and tough.
