Wall Mounted Speakerphone

Shockingly missing

This no doubt is a result of general cord-cutting and cellphones, but nonetheless the absence of such a simple product appears shocking. The link (discontinued) is the closest I've found.

The trick we're looking for is relatively thin and lacking an actual phone handle -- just a speakerphone, to maintain as narrow a possible profile to the wall

       This could be implemented quickly and cheaply using tablets and wifi.   

       Fix the tablets to the walls in appropriate positions.   

       Design an appropriate UI app that handles audio, speech recognition, and other functions.   

       Use the wifi to link the tablets to a central telecoms hub.   

       Sorted.

       missing a connection to (gasp) a phone jack, trekkie.

       // a phone jack //   

       How quaint. Does your design record voicemail on an Edison wax cylinder ?   

       With sufficient polished brass, varnished mahogany, ceramic insulators and a big Bakelite-handled We-Belong-Dead knife switch, it might be an attractive bit of Steampunkery, but as a real-world system a physical phone line, for anything other than high speed data, is somewhat passé ...

       Maybe a wall directional speaker/microphone which operates when standing in front. Voice dial of course.

       I saw a rubber dink with a suction cup on it. Pretty sure everything is wall mountable now.

       Office lucent landline, duct tape.   

       Or, cut a piece of wallboard out of the wall, mount phone to that horizontally, and place on desk.
