Applications
Single-line desk telephones like the Cortelco 250044-MBA-20M are standard equipment in offices, home offices, reception desks, hotel rooms, and light commercial environments. Cortelco (operating under the ITT brand name) produced a wide range of plain-service telephone sets through the 1980s and 1990s that were widely deployed across the United States in both residential and business settings. These sets connect directly to a standard analog POTS (plain old telephone service) line via an RJ11 jack and require no external power source. They remain functional on any active analog telephone line today, and are also commonly sought by collectors of vintage American office equipment and mid-century modern decor. The 250044-MBA-20M dates from 1997, placing it in the final era of mass-produced analog desk sets before the broad adoption of cordless and VoIP phones in the early 2000s.
This ITT Cortelco 250044-MBA-20M single-line desk telephone has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The beige housing shows light surface scuffs and minor wear consistent with prior office use, but no cracks or breaks are visible. The 12-button touchtone keypad and handset with coiled cord are present and intact. The bottom label is intact and fully legible, confirming the model number, FCC registration, and UL listing.
