    Do people still use home phone these days?

    • +4

      My in laws do. They refuse to disconnect the landline to save a few $ a month because someone calls their landline ONCE this year.

        You mean once a year from people they actually want to hear from plus frequent spam and scam calls.

      Anyone over 70. Safety blanket, even though it costs an extra $30 on the carrier service.

  • People still use them ? damn

  • If you really need a setup like this I suspect it's not hard to find them on the kerbside

      Cupboards of your parents and grandparents. Same place as the oil lamp and fondue set.

    I had a similar set back in 2005. Gosh, Blast from the Past.
    If you look back, cordless landline phones still have real advantages over mobile phones, especially in rural areas. They don’t rely on mobile-tower signal strength or fluctuating cellular coverage, so they’re often much more dependable. They also come with fewer security issues: you can’t “hack” the handset the way a smartphone can be compromised, spammers can’t push OTPs or install malware, and you don’t need to upgrade to a new 5G mobile handset just to make emergency calls. A landline remains one of the most reliable fallback for calling 000 in an emergency.

    Talkback radio just ain't the same now you don't get an irate caller finishing with a curt 'goodbye!!' followed by that crunch as the handset gets slammed into its cradle.

    • I'm sure there's an app to mimic that sound when finish your mobile call😁

  • I briefly considered one of these after moving into a double story place, so I could call the kids (too young for mobile phones), still haven’t settled on an intercom yet.

    You'll be doing Officeworks a favour if you price beat it.

    2005 called. They want their…..

    • That was the year I purchased my b&o cordless phone. Man that was a good phone. Two years later I moved house and just using mobiles became de rigueur…. I still have that phone in the cupboard….

      Come on fashion, bring landlines back again!

      • Was a great time. But they should not come back lol

  • My grandma has NBN connected carded telephone.

    Can I keep that one plugged into the modem, add a splitter and connect this to it too does anyone know?

    Sometimes she doesn't hear the phone ringing, so want to add a cordless phone to her lounge, but still want to keep the original corded phone plugged in too

    • @Danstar: It is quite easy. I have done it at my uncles place. You need to plug the splitter into the modems Phone port. Don't install the splitter anywhere else. Most modem will provide around 48V DC line voltage (I have tested on Netcomm, Telstra provided Modem and Sagemcom) You have to be careful of REN 1. Most modem can only support REN 3 or may be REN 5 on the newer modems, so 2 phones on the modem is less than 1.1 to REN 2.
      Plug your grandma’s existing NBN carded phone into the splitter and plug the Panasonic amplified cordless base station into the same splitter. I bought the Jackson Module RJ12 double Adapter from JB Hi-Fi for less than $10 or get any from Jaycar should work.I hope it helps

      • Nice! Thanks Steve! I got the NetComm modem. I've been meaning to do it for weeks, but always forget the splitter I bought when I go there.

    This phone is actually very useful. Not only does it act as a landline, but it works great as a house intercom. I've tried lots of cheap and expensive intercom solutions and this model was the best.

    For example, I put this in several rooms around the house and label the units bedroom 1, bedroom 2, dining etc. When I need to call kids down, I just select say Bedroom 3, it calls them up with a distinct 'intercom' paging noise. No longer need to yell at the top of my lungs and annoy everyone whenever I want to speak to someone at the other side of the house. In addition, each phone allows separate 'Do Not Disturb' times, so at night only my landline phone will ring and the others say silent.

    It also has caller announce so when people in the family or friends call, everyone in the house knows who is calling.

    Also I have this connected via VOIP, so I am paying about $4/yr for a landline no# THAT NEVER changes/gets disconnected. Very good for lots of stuff. How many times do you all have to update your phone no# on a million different IDs/accounts because you lost your prepaid mobile no#

    • This is brilliant as a family intercom!

      This phone radio works at 1.88-1.90 GHz at max power of 115,000,000,000 picoWatts and it has power to punch through layers of plaster walls unlike WiFi.

      • Why dont they just say 115 milliwatts? I guess all those zeros look impressive!!

    • Doubtful it's only $4/yr, at least not with NBN, where the cheapest subscriptions don't come with landline.

      • I pay zilch for my landline and number with Telstra.

        • Yup and you are paying a lot more than $80 for the NBN 500/50.

          • @Deal Or-No Deal: Yup and happy to do so. It's just over $100, get 500+/50 and my landline. Tried others and keep coming back to Telstra.

    Where does it plug into? Do you need to have a 1990s house to have a phone socket?

    Ahh, so good to see the city folk with their mobile towers and great reception being disparaging about a necessary service to those of us without ANY mobile service..let alone reliable communication.
    We have mobile phones….for when we go into the top of a nearest mountain and get reception, we have a landline to use for emergencies, oh and to call people at our convenience. If you believe that anything less than satellite phones cover all of Australia, you’ve drunk the cool aid.
    These phones look like a bargain….oh. They’re on oz bargain….not ozbangoninignorance.
