I am trying to use a cordless phone and a wired phone on the same extension using the same telephone jack. The two phones would ring at the same time. Is there an easy way to do this? I know a splitter similar to an analog phone splitter will not work. Thanks in advance.

It will not work. You can't have two phones on one port. Each phone needs its own jack and port off the system. Just curious though, are these single line phones or digital?

It can be done, it just depends on your situation.

You can use the data port off the keyset.

If you're using analog phones off a single line card then the splitter is an option.

If you don't have a keyset with a data port, you can set up a digital cordless phones and separate it at the desk using a DPDT switch that will be used to throw the station back and forth from cordless to wired sets. This method is a work around and it not as clean. You wouldn't be able to transfer a call between the two devices. It's more of an either or type work around.

You can't have the same extension appear on multiple phones simultaneously unless both are analog. You can have a hunt group with two unique members listed. Dialing the hunt group would ring both phones. Would that work?

I've used one jack to accommodate a single line phone and a digital phone. Use a splitter at the jack, and cross connect your digital port and your analog port to the jack's block on the backboard. They don't use the same pairs, so it works out pretty good. Sure, they are 2 different extension numbers, but you'd create a hunt group with a HG member list containing both the cordless analog and digital keyset and you'd get your desired result.
