diablopilot 2 #26 December 4, 2013 In no way should what I'm about to say be considered a disparaging remark about ANY manufacturer, but long ago I made it a policy to NEVER accept gear assembled and packed by a manufacturer.

And for the above poster, yes traditional land line phones are powered through the phone line and don't need power cord, batteries, or chargers. I'm old for my age.
