My (corded) phone broke so I went out to Walmart (I know I had to go all the way to Scarborough — I was scared) to pick out a (corded) replacement. I had a cheapie so I picked out another cheapie for $10, although I swear it said $6 on the shelf (but I digress…). Anyways, I took it home and set it up, something supposedly straightforward that even my parents could do; but, I was stumped because they only gave me one wire for the phone??
Apparently, technology has advanced to such a stage that you no longer have to connect the phone to the base, and then the base to the wall. You simply connect your handset…to the wall! Wow. I feel old. The still provide a base though, because you can wrap your excess wire beneath it, and it pushes in the toggle to put your phone “on hook”. Although, I would have preferred if there was a switch that served the same function, which would permit me to throw out the base.
