Hi, I am after a small device that connects to a phone handset, the cable then connects to this and on to the phone base.

The "device" basically swivels so that you never get the ball-of-cord that I get so often from when I pick up and put down the phone.

If anyone knows what I am on about and where I could get one... could they let me know please!

Sorry if the above description makes anyone cross-eyed!

Cheers,
Phil.

Just unplug the phone and hang it up by the end of the cable, go and make a coffee, and when you come back and it's stopped spinning, you can plug it back in and robert's your mother's brother.

Saves you the 59 quid for the cordless!

Otherwise, I think you want one of these from maplin

Bast'd! I forgot to put in there that no one suggest a cordless phone!

Oh, and no need for suggestions of "head-sets" etc neither!

It's for my work phone hence the need for wired.

Learn to use the phone properly? It's not hard. I've had the same phone cord for 4 years and never once got it all twisted up......

Yes, i've never quite understood how it's possible to rotate your handset 15 times in the space of a conversation. Pick it up, talk, put it down again.
But then again, i've never felt the need to use really annoying insults on an internet forum either.
