The portable digital phones need to be plugged in to a power source.

After the Christchurch earthquake the big New Zealand telecommmunications company advertised throughout NZ asking people to donate their old analog phones and help restore communications. The phones worked even if people didn't have mains power. It became even more apparent how important these phones are as the batteries in the mobile phones ran out and people were unable to recharge.

I also have the pottery barn desktop phone, but I got mine at the Downeast Outlet for less than $50!

I've had mine for about six years now and I love love love it!
