Discover our range of Corded Phones

Corded phones are pretty old-school by today’s standards. But they still offer some benefits over modern cordless handsets and mobile phone. The truth is, nothing really beats a corded phone when it comes to consistent call quality. You might be tethered to wherever it’s plugged into, but you’ll be able to clearly hear the person on the other end without interference or static noise. There’ll be no awkward “can you repeat that?” with a corded phone!

So, what else are corded landline phones good for? Security is a big bonus. Corded phones are even more secure than mobile phones, as they don't use wireless signals that can potentially be intercepted or hacked. That sounds dramatic and it is unlikely, but it’s why a lot of businesses kit out their offices with corded handsets. Corded phones don’t need to be recharged either, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of juice during an important call.

We all know that electricals don’t last forever. But corded telephones can last longer than a lot of much more advanced tech, as they have fewer components than say, cordless or mobile phones. That means there are less parts to wear down or break over time. So, if reliability is important for you, a corded phone won’t let you down anytime soon. In fact, they can last for years. Corded phones are also cost effective, as you won’t need to pay for any battery replacements or wireless service fees.

Corded phones don’t just have to live on your desk or side table either. That’s because there a few that are wall mountable. Wall phones are handy for saving space on your sideboard or kitchen counter and they cause less clutter too. Plus, if they’re mounted at a convenient height — they’re much easier to access in a hurry and save you from bending or sitting down.

Another great thing about corded telephones is that they’re very easy to use. If cordless handsets or smartphones are too fiddly for you, corded telephones keep things simple. They often have nice big buttons that are easy to see and press, and don’t do much beyond the essentials. But we mean that in a good way! If a speakerphone, built-in phonebook and answering machine is all you need — then stick with a no-frills corded phone. And some corded telephones even come with cool retro styling, if you prefer phones the way they used to be.
