Just to listen? Or, do you mean a keypad-less phone(listen and talk)?

I don't think you're going to be able to get any simpler than AgentLogin,
where the user dials into a queue, and stays on the line receiving calls as
they come in. You'll still need some kind of phone device, like a channel
bank to split calls to regular handsets, or some IP phones.

Unless I really don't understand what you're trying to do?
