The Phoneplus is a discreet, stylish, battery operated device that connects between the base unit and handset of most corded handset telephones. It can be left connected when no volume or tone boosting is needed without affecting the performance of your telephone. The phoneplus automatically switches “on” when the handset is lifted, and switches “off” when the handset is replaced.

If telephone callers’ voices seem very quiet or muffled you will benefit from using our Phoneplus. The Phoneplus is used to increase the volume of the caller’s voice through your handset with the addition of boosting high or low tones if required.

Not suitable for use with Cordless, mobile or telephones with buttons in the handset.
