Wall Mount Phone-Landline..one that mounts properly - Kraniac - 08-25-2018
I need a decent quality, single line wall mount phone for a landline..
There is a wall plate where old school phones used to mount securely..metal plate, studs top and bottom..
the last phone was not compatible with these studs.
Anyone using something they like that mounts according to the old specs for a wall mount?
If not, i can rig..not even sure these exist..recommend..thanks.

If it were me, I'd go for an old fashioned rotary phone with 'property of ATT' on the bottom of it. That should work with the existing mounts.

miley-signs003:I was looking for a similar thing a few years ago - cordless wall phone for land line - and could not find any manufacture selling anything that "hung" on the wall like previous corded models.
They have "wall mounting" holders, but they all seem to need to sit out several inches from the wall.

You mean like this one? Which mounts to a standard RJ-11 wall jack with studs, which this model does.

I wonder if they are still making those, or if they are just a gazillion leftover stock

Well, they might have a large stock, but their webpage lists them under current products and not under legacy products.

I bought an AT&T Design Line corded Telephone 146 that I still use - must be quite old but still looks new. I do not have it wall mounted - It has Pulse and Tone setting, and the volume can be loud but clear.
The keypad is on the base unit - the corded handset is not heavy at all. This link is to a unit by Advanced American Telephone that looks identical, and the link includes the PDF Manual that shows the wall mount back of the phone. Looks to me like there are a number of similar AT&T 146 phones available. LyleH

Yeah, I need a new one too. Love that mounting style. Have the plate, next to a jack, and both next to a 110v wall outlet.
