So after I get this jack installed, you would recommend a plantronics headset, the S12 specifically? Also, my plan is to leave the cordless at my desk that currently has no jack and connects wirelessly to the main base, then plug the S12 headset directly into the wall, that will work right (I'm thinking this won't work now that I'm checking out the headset)? If I do need to plug the headset into a corded phone, what phone would you recommend? I have a cheap one I can use, the quality of the corded phone doesn't really matter right?
Well if you are on the phone a lot, then yes I would specifically recommend that headset. I have the set since 2007. This is the same set - no parts were replaced - including the battery. You can't just plug it into the wall jack. It needs to be connected to a corded phone. You don't need a really nice one. My phone I have is:

or you could just get a cheaper one:

It's rather easy to configure. There are pictures on the back of the headset base which tells you what plugs into where.

It feels flimsy, however, it does the job and as long as you don't step on the mic, or have animals that chew up the cords, it should last you forever.
