A:AnswerIf you are asking whether you can connect a standard phone cord from the wall into the cordless remote, the answer is no. There is no phone Cat 3 connection on the remote unit. The phone signal must be connected to the base unit from the source jack in the wall via the Cat 3 cable first, and then it will wirelessly send the signal to any and all remote units.
A:AnswerHi - The VTech CS6949 is not a Bluetooth enabled phone system. However, it is compatible with a cordless headset model VTech IS6200.

A:AnswerYes. It has a 'stand' for the desk that must be flipped down to make the back of the phone flat. Then there are two places where screws will hold the phone to the wall. In addition you have to 'flip' a plastic piece where the top of the handset goes in (just below the switch hook). Once flipped it will stick up and keep the handset from falling off.
