That is correct.

At home, I have us set up with AT&T DECT 6 Phones. (Other manufacturers also use this technology.)

You press the speaker button and can put it on the desk or I usually just set the receiver in a wire pencil cup on the desk. It works marvelously well.

I can do the same thing in the car with my full duplex speaker cell though it doesn't work as well as the DECT 6 system.

So as not to bother people you can use bluetooth or just the old fashioned modern headset.

It would be nice if you could get a simple ear piece that was pulled out of one of the large phones (or an iPad or tablet) and plug it in your ear. The ear piece would then retract into the device when you were finished.

(The funniest and most awkward thing I see in this vein is people taking pictures with their iPad or similar large tablet. It looks like they are holding a dinner plate at arms length.)
