From a processing perspective, I would stay there a plug not constantly plugging and unplugging, then the life is rather limited. But if he's inside times and allowed to so, you can say nothing. Now have indeed now and then a very light background crackle in the handset, but I've also after all an old "FeTAp 751-1" extended the Federal Post Office in 1981, since I can be glad that this ancient pulse telephone at all compatible with modern TAE plugs and a cable Multimediadose. In this respect, all under. If someone asked: "FeTAp" was the federal postal abbreviation for "telephone-table apparatus" - good old Germany!
