Current phone...
SIP-T30P - Single line entry level IP phone | Yealink

Cordless...
W73H - Professional Business DECT Phone System | Yealink
You will need to call the phone provider, but you should be able to swap out the unit, for a cordless type. There will still be a BASE unit required, and there may be some form of activation required. I did a quick look at the instructions for the unit you have and did NOT see any jacks for adding a wireless unit. I did not notice if an additional WIRELESS phone could be added.
