Indeed.  The other solutions work great for a single user on a cellular 
phone, but I prefer a plain old wired telephone with a handset for the 
emergency phone at a data center.  It's usable by anyone.  Ever try 
handing your bluetooth headset with custom earmold to the electrician 
working on the UPS?

Data centers tend to be noisy in more than just the acoustic spectrum, 
mobile reception often isn't the greatest.
