not sure what you mean "more than a cellphone" ?

get an ata such as an SPA series with 2 channels on it  or PAP2T and 
plug a cordless base station in each one if you want to go cheap.

it works but a single line cordless does not at all do justice to what 
can be done with asterisk.


When you say large screen are you talking about an APAD type thing?  
they work just fine mounted on the wall (I use them for intercom and 
general control system interface) but I would not walk around holding 
one to my ear.
