Does this phone seriously only have the option of running it on batteries??? No plug??

I am not sure I understand your question. The phone operates on telephone line power. Thebatteries are for the display and the memory. If the batteries die, you can still dial out.

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, it does not plug into an outlet at all. It only uses batteries and plugs into the telephone jack.

The batteries are only there to run the LCD display. It was not made to run on wall power.

Yes it does, there is a rechargable battery in the handset, next to the speaker. Mine is also not charging anymore, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement because it looks like a custome size/shape. If you have any luck let me know!

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

There are no batteries used in this phone. The phone will still work with a power outage, but the answering machine part of the phone will not work. Hope this helps you.

Do the handset bases have an electrical cord that needs to be plugged in at all times?

No plug, runs off batteries. The plastic is really cheap. Mine came dented. I was going to live with it but then it didn't even work. I sent it back. No problems on the return.

Yes, it has a plug-in electric adapter. It does not have the ability to run on batteries.

Mine run on batteries only. It did not come with a "plug in" nor does it have a place for a plug.

No, this phone does not need (or even have any place for) a battery. I don't recall whether or not mine came with a cord. If it did, it was probably a short one because I did order a long cord separately to use with this phone. I hope this helps.

this phone has their batteries but has a 110 volt charger/stand to keep it charge when not in conversation. It does not work without batteries.

The battery is only for the caller ID display's operation (and maybe for stored phone numbers). The phone itself doesn't require batteries for operation. I've been using mine since receiving it in February & haven't replaced them yet. It just plugs into your regular phone jack. We've been very pleased with the phone -- especially since it's hard to find a good corded phone these days!

No, this is a standard landline, so it is powered by the cord like any regular landline. This is the advantage over other phones with bases that are plugged in (and turn off when the power goes out).

It has a plug. It also has the ability to run on batteries, but I don't know how long the charge would be since I keep it plugged in.

You only need to use your telephone plug in. From the phone - to the caller ID - and then to the wall. Very easy. There is a battery back-up.

Hi SarahYes, you can run it on battery, but the battery life is short. I use the power plug most of the time.
