So I bought Crockett’s phone

Not sure if his was the 600 (like this) or the 800 (which included both wired and wireless handsets), but the wireless handset appears to be the same, regardless.

I'm not electrically smart, but I'd imagine that there'd be a landline port around the ethernet port for a computer in the house. Possibilities?

Congrats pal! Been looking for one of those a while ago too, but failed! Now you have to get a land-line and use it ;)

To call a friend to go have dinner with Al Bundy and some porn stars. :p

Not always. It depends on what kind of cable was put in when the house was built or the ports were added. Older place I'd expect to find a phone jack/port, but they won't always be located in the same place, either. Your local telecom company should be able to tell you, though.

Good find Dadrian!

I think the link above is just for the press release, not the phone. I found one on the US eBay site if anyone wants to confirm it is the one:

Thanks, @Scot from S.C.

That one looks just like mine, except the plate around the digits kind of looks kind of red. Could just be the light in the photo.  I’m no expert on these phones, so I can’t say if it’s the same or not.

Edit. Oops wrong post. Disregard. :birdie:

All right I got it all worked out now. :) 

So I actually have two of these phones, and I want one of them to go to one of my friends here.

$50 (including US shipping) to the first person who PMs me. I’ll also include a CD with all my covers to date with a personal hand-written message. :cheers:
 

If you’re outside the US we’ll check on shipping costs.
