Do you mean:

1) just switching the handset off/on, or

2) switching off/on the power to the base stations?

If number 2, you could connect the AC adapter to timer/watch plug,
that would switch off/on the power to the base unit every night.


Now, if I understand correctly, do you connect these phones to a
modem/router, for the Voip calls, and they act as ATAs?
If so, does these come any cheaper than cordless phones with 2 line
capacity, with an ATA feeding one of the lines, for Voip?
