I first emailed the manufacturer, who was super fast to reply to me and tell me it was a stand alone unit. No phone needed, it just needs a phone jack and a receptacle. And it works great. It's super loud (we only needed the low setting) and the light was perfectly bright. We could also stand it up and have it face us. It's exactly what we needed, a super loud phone ringer and a flashing brite light to go with it.
Works as described. Great for a warehouse application. I wouldn't recommend it
for inside a house, it will blow your ears out.
We started out with getting her an extra ringer, but it's way to quiet if the person is hard of hearing and was easily drowned out by the TV. Next we tried a phone with a built in flasher, but the flasher was abysmal. It was hardly visible even when just a single light was on in the room.
I found a few ringer/flashers here that looked to be promising.
I almost bought one of the ringer/flasher units which had an LED flasher, but some of the reviews indicated the flasher wasn't that great. I needed something that she couldn't miss.
I ended up buying this unit ("Krown KRN-K-RA-005 Amplified Ringer with Strobe") and it was well worth the money. Since I hooked this up in her bedroom, she's not missed a call yet even when she is watching TV.
If you are looking for something for a hard-of-hearing relative or friend, look no further. Not only did we get a great product for the money, we also got peace of mind.

This product does the job just fine. Now users can see from far ( thanks to the strobe light) if someone is calling of their desk phone.
