I am trying to find a communications solution for two elder relatives
of mine. They live next to each other in a place where phone calls are
expensive, even local ones. I have considered a couple of
"intercommunicators" which have to be plugged only to the AC power,
and the voice is modulated by the 110v. signal, with no need for a
data cable. The problem with this solution is that the two homes don't
share the electrical circuit. I would like the communication to be
full duplex, too. Are there full duplex wireless phones?
Finally, what about a tiny, inexpensive, 2 line PBX? Is there such a
thing?
Thanks so much for your kind assistance, my two aunts will appreciate
it, too.
-Ramon

What distance is next to each other? Why not run a telephone cable or
use an extended range multihandset wireless telephone?

Ramon,
If you can run a direct wire between them, there are two ways to solve
the problem:
1. Construct an intercom circuit and use separate phones
2. Use "Field" phones like the Army sells surplus
HTH.

Probablhy. Something with handset to base communications. I have a
Panasonic with dual handsets, but I've never really tried to
communicate handset to handset.

Of course. You probably need to be within 500 feet and need 4 wires
to make the really inexpensive Tie 612/616 blue boxes work. Probably
$50 and a few buxks shipping could get you a cabinet and 3 phones.
