Cheap phone patch to take live calls. Will it work?

[Scorpio Moon]

Recently, someone told me that use the following setup as a means to take calls live on the air. I haven't heard them use it, so I'm not confident about this advice.

Before I go out to Radio Shack and buy the necessary stuff, I thought I'd ask if someone had an opinion about whether this could work.

What you need:

-a cordless phone with a headset jack in the handset
-a 3/32" Male adapter
-a 1/8" Female adapter
-a RCA cable
-a mixing board

The setup:

-Plug one end of the 3/32" Male adapter into the handset
-Plug the other end into one end of the 1/8" Female adapter
-Plug the other end(s) of the 1/8" Female adapter into the RCA cable
-Plug the RCA cable into the in and outputs of a mixing board
-Have the mixing board connected to the soundcard

I'm assuming when you take a call, you'd answer the handset and speak through it. The phone would act as a mic and the audio would be broadcast through your soundcard.

Could this work?

Thanks!

My friend and I were going to try that out but just answer the phone using the program that comes with windows.. im not sure what its called. Then talk through the sound card..

Im sure it would work but i havent tried.
