found this on the web it says its a 18 button digital phone, must be old? https://www.surplusmaster.com/pic/tele/M2018.jpg
in this case it is a regular digital phone, there are some cordless options for meridian but all are expensive, i still think the cordless headset is the best option.
gn netcom makes a 900mhz headset. Used them before they work well and have a manual hookswitch unit so you can answer the phone from the headset.
