Hi

I'm looking for a new cordless home phone. At present there's no power outlet near where I'd like the handset, but there is an ethernet port with POE available. Ideally the phone will be VOIP.

After searching the web, I can find base stations that run over POE (and current front-runner is Yealink W52P). However the handset still needs power via a standard power outlet. (Several retailers (e.g. Pbtech, Ascent) list the W52H (additional handset) as POE, but from what I can tell from the Yealink website that isn't correct.)

Are there any cordless handsets that are powered via POE, or is that just not possible given the need to charge the handset battery? Or are there other options (before I contact an electrician and get a power socket installed)?
