My mom recently had this device installed by AT&T in her house. I am trying to determine how to hook up a wireless handset for in her bedroom so she didn’t answer the phone at night without getting out of bed and running to answer the phone that’s attached to this device. Can I use a standard splitter and plug a phone with remote handset capability into the back of this device?
