Cheap Desk Phone Wireless Headset

Cheap Desk Phone Wireless Headset
I spend a lot of time on the phone in the office, so I have been trying to figure out a way to get a wireless headset (AWH54 or CT14) for my desk phone without donating a kidney to Plantronics. This 'hack' was done on an Avaya Partner 18D office phone, and should work with any desk phone that has:

1. An AUX jack
2. An internal amplifier

After doing research on the CT-14 it seemed that it was nothing more than a small cordless phone with a headset attached. So....why couldn't I do the same thing with a regular cordless phone and headset for less than half the cost.

Step 1Check your desk phone

Check your desk phone
Look under your desk phone for a AUX jack. It may also be on the side, but it will look like a standard RJ6 (small phone line) jack. There should be one line running from your wall to the phone and another empty jack labeled "AUX". This is NOT the handset jack where your handset plugs in.
