If you have an existing jack, you can run a line from that jack. If you have a crawl space, run the lines under the house. If you don't feel comfortable connecting wires, purchase an adapter for the existing jack (if it is plug in).

Buy a cordless phone.

As Elmer says, most of the cordless with multi-units have just one 'base station' that attaches to the phone jack. The others just need a regular outlet for power to re-charge the handset.

Timothy,

U there? lol

If there is a jack in an adjacent room with a shared wall, it's easy to cut a hole in the wall in the new location by the old jack, and then turn the jack around to the new opening. You can cover the old hole with a blank wall plate.

Cut a hole in the wall? Instead of buying a wireless phone? Hmm.

Yup. A nice little rectangle in the sheetrock the size of a wall plate. I can do it a lot faster and cheaper than shopping for a wireless phone. I see the advantage of a wireless phone, but that’s not what the OP asked about.

kudzu, I think more wireless phones are sold than saws to cut holes in walls.

I'm going to guess you still have a regular landline from the phone company? There's been a trend for many years now away from phone company service in favor of the many cheaper and more feature rich alternatives. For most of those alternatives, using a cordless phone is the best choice. And the most convenient, it gives you a phone in every room.

Elmer-

Maybe that’s because the saw never breaks down. And I’ve had my sheetrock handsaw for forty years and never once had to recharge it ;-)

Well there it is. That's why I don't own any saws, to avoid the possibility that my wife might ask me to do something using one. But I think you have a passe suggestion all the same.

Major advantage of landline corded phone (POTS: plain old telephone service) is that in the event of a power outage, the landline corded phones will usually still work, while the internet based cordless phones generally don't.

This is why I'm skeptical of 'bundled' services for phone, Internet and TV. That sucker goes out and you're completely down.

When I had AT&T uVerse (phone, internet, TV) they included an uninterruptible power supply for the router so that the phone would still work (on battery) when local power went out. The UPS definitely worked, but I never tried using the phone when power was out to make sure it worked.

The only service included in a bundle you could use if from another provider in a power outage would be old fashioned telephone service. If power outages and the need for phone service are a frequent occurrence for you, get a cell phone.
