I was wondering the same thing. But I'm still not sure if
I need the lifters. I connected up the phones but didn't
have time to install the lifters. The staff called today
and said they have it working without the lifters.

So, can someone confirm why I need the lifters?

I have to agree that if the lifters are needed, then there
should be a phone that comes with this built in.
