Hi Terry -You can certainly get a set-up where one base unit requires a phone socket, but the second will work wirelessly, but needs a mains socket to power it. As for your other questions, hard to answer, as what one person finds manageable can prove difficult for another. Maybe worth wile ringing around to see if you can get any hands on of set-ups that will give you the configuration you are looking for -

Hi Mo There are so many options out there, even just in the Panasonic range.I'm going to be using part of my conservatory as an office, and don't reallywant to have to trail a phone extension lead all the way from the front of the house, veering off here, there and everywhere into the conservatory. With these types of phones, is it then possible to have the main base unitconnected to the phone line socket at the front of the house where the phoneline comes in, then have the second base unit in the conservatory wirelessly? Also, my other consideration would be what it felt like in the hand.Presumably you have one of these phones, so could you give any idea of whatthe shape is like. What about the keypad, is it easy to dial on quickly? Are the numeric buttons clearly separated from the other function buttons that are usually on these phones?When I've looked at these portable phones before, quite often it isn't easyto quickly distinguish between the numeric buttons and all the other function buttons. Hope you don't mind the questions. regards Terry -----Original Message-----From: access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mobeen Iqbal Sent: 03 January 2013 14:53 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Phones Hi. If you want a basic phone which has handsfree as well as an answering machine and comes in a twin configuration, i'd recommend: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5527777.htm however, if you'd like a phone without answering machine and without handsfree, you could try: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5528972.htmThere is only £10 difference between the 2, the first one priced at £40 and the second one at £30. May seem a little expensive for a cordless phone, butcertainly worth it as its quality kit by Panasonic. The answering machine can also be disabled on the first one, so if handsfree is a consideration i'd pourchase the one at £40 and just get rid of the answering machine. Hope that helps someone. Mo.

I'd recommend cordless phones made by Panasonic. Over the years, i've tried BT, onetel, south western bell, and panasonic and have found panasonic to be the best. You don't have to use the menus if you don't want too, and its straight forward enough to use with buttons that are easily accessible. They don't cost a lot either. Sound quality both on ear peace and on loud is excellent. Argos should have some deals on at the moment, if you'd like me to recommend a specific one let me know. all the best, Mo.

We flirted with the idea of braving a highstreet chain, but decided to try here first. All we are looking for is a no nonsense pair of handsets and base unit. No bells and whistles, no address books,no menus to get lost in, just good sound quality, uncluttered buttons and easy to use. Any suggestions?
