FAQ 1: Can I use the CRD-SML adapter to plug my Apple earphones into a cordless telephone or desktop office phone system 2.5mm headset jack?

Answer: No; If your earphone is the type that has an inline microphone and is an Apple or CTIA compatible 4-conductor plug earphone (or wired headset) you could use our AH2P adapter with your landline phone. The diagram below shows that the AH2P adapter fits between your earphone plug and the jack on the telephone.

FAQ 2: Can I use the CRD-SML adapter with my old Samsung or Android OTMP wired earphone to plug into my Desktop Telephone or Portable Cordless Telephone?

Answer: No; Unfortunately the CRD-SML adapter is not compatible with the 2.5mm headset jack on most telephones.  Many older cell phone earphones had a 4-conductor plug that would fit into Android phones, including the Samsung cell phones and tablets, however they used a wiring configuration known as OTMP. The OTMP compatible wired earphones can use our SH2P Adapter to connect to desktop or portable cordless telephones. As you can see from the diagram below, the original Samsung compatible earphones had microphone and ground connections that were reversed from the Apple configuration.

FAQ 3: What adapter would I need if I wanted to connect my old iPhone earphones or iPhone compatible wired earphones to my cordless phone or desktop telephone?

Answer: You would need our Model AH2P Apple Compatible Earphone Adapter for Landline Telephones. To use the AH2P adapter, your Apple compatible wired earphones must be the type that have an inline microphone. The AH2P adapter can enable you to communicate easily without having to hold your handset or portable phone. Great for working from home.
