Cordless phones sit in a mains-powered base unit, which automatically charges the phone. You don't need to do anything (other than to ensure that you return the phone to its base unit when it's not in use) to charge it.
If it's a Panasonic it will run for a couple of days out of the charger. On the other hand, if it's a Philips, it'll probably die within minutes of you answering the phone.
I have BT phones and find it is not good for the batteries if one leaves them in their charges all the time, best to remove them periodically and give them a rest.
Having said that I have just purchased a corded retro phone with a dialler, this I have plugged into one of my extentions.
Ah, the joy of hearing a proper ringing sound, and being able to dial a number instead of pressing buttons.
When will the 9 inch console model black & white TV come back?
Thank you Anotheroldgit.....My phone will be a BT..........reference your reply.
If I keep phone on charger all night and then off the charger for the rest of the day ie.In sitting room or in my pocket will that be OK.
Thank you,

As long as the battery lasts it will be fine. They do give you a warning when the battery is running low. If you need to have a phone on you you can get two handsets.
