Several years ago I bought a "see-through" phone from Radio Shack
that was absolutely bulletproof against RFI.  It was shaped like
the traditional Princess phone and made of transparent plastic.
I tested it at several locations in the house, including directly
under a yagi at 50 feet running the legal limit.  Zero pickup.

Don't know if they sell them anymore, but if you can find one, it
should do the job.
