Wall Mounted Phones

Corded Wall Phone

A corded wall phone is a phone that is connected to the wall phone jack via a phone cord. There are many different types of corded wall phones on the market today, and you should have no trouble finding one that you like.

Some of the more popular corded wall phones feature bright, lit-up buttons that make it easy to dial at night. They are usually made from sturdy plastic, and are available in many different colors.

You can even get corded wall phones that have many types of built in features. For example, you can get phones with a built in answering machine, a built in caller ID screen, and even phones that will operate on several different lines.

When buying corded wall phones, make sure that you get enough cord to get to your phone. Is the phone jack next to where you will keep the phone, or is it across the room? If it is located close-by, then a simple phone cord should suffice at the right length.

However, if it is across the room, you may need to run a longer phone cord strategically so that it does not get in the way. One popular way to run a phone cord is along the wall on the floor, over doorways hidden against the trim, and on the ceiling up against the wall. 

If the phone cord is the same color as the wall, this will make it almost invisible to anyone who isn’t looking for it. It is generally not considered very aesthetic to have phone lines sprawling all over the room!

Corded wall phones are slowly being replaced by cordless phones, and ultimately, by cell phones. However, corded wall phones do have a few different advantages. For one, if your corded wall phone is just a plain phone, it will still be operational during a power outage.

Cordless phones cannot be used during a power outage unless you have backup power, like a generator. Unlike cell phones, corded wall phones cannot lose signal. As long as they are plugged in, and as long as the phone lines are in service, you will be able to make and receive calls on it.

You can buy corded wall phones at just about any office supply or home décor store. Since corded wall phones are considered an electronic item, you can also find them in electrical supply stores and places like that.

The bottom line is this: having cell phones and cordless phones is great, but when they do not work, corded wall phones will continue to function. Even if you just keep it as a back-up, having a corded wall phone is a great idea. It will be easier to use in emergencies, and can be powered as long as the phone lines have service.
