Her first preference would be to place the portable element of a cordless phone there on a permanent basis, and the base unit at the bedside. In this way the CT could then be used as both an intercom and to act as an extension telephone. Are there CTs that have a second recharging unit, without the base unit electronics? Otherwise, can someone recommend a good speech quality wireless intercom that also has minimal ambient hum when in standby mode?
