Analogue cordless phone question.
Discussion
We've got a small PBX with these handsets:
All of which are packing up and we want to replace them, however they are discontinued.
What we want is a basic analogue replacement, but it is important that the base station and charger are separate because the bases are all located near the switch, with the handsets in remote buildings.
Anyone know of a suitable product please?
Well if you buy twin packs then they usually have one base unit that connects to the phone line and the second handset has its own charging stand. But wasteful perhaps but you would gain some spare handsets to swap about if the battery doesn’t last all day.
How far away if the pbx and what sort of walls are between? That might rule out a standard DECT unit.

Oh it's only 20m or so, but each extension has its own cordless handset. It saved us running cables between buildings.How far away if the pbx and what sort of walls are between? That might rule out a standard DECT unit.
Shouldn’t need repeaters or the like then. As long as the pbx presents standard phone sockets then you can just buy standard sets. Just an example https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Gigaset-A120-Twin-Cordl...

Hmm. It's not clear from that whether the bases station and charger are separate - which then need to be. Because the base station needs to be adjacent to the PBX and the handset elsewhere. It is not practical to return the handset to the base station for charging.So said:

Just buy another charger?
I broke one of my mums cordless phones when I lived there years ago. Bought a new handset and charger kit for £15 from ebay... the chargers on their own were even cheaper, although the bundle was cheaper than just a handset on its own...
You seem to be creating a problem that doesnt exist, have the main station sat in the server room happily on its own and never dock a phone in it, then just buy an extra charger only and put that wherever...
