If you answer one of the phones, can you use the other phone too? If I am upstairs and answer the phone but its for my husband who is downstairs, can he pick up the phone downstairs or do I have to bring him the one that I have?

external calls can be transferred between handsets, in addition, other handsets can "listen in"

It doesn't automatically answer either one. If you press the line that is being used then both persons can talk to the outside line. If one line is in use it is shown on the display, so you can select the other line to place a call or the busy line to share in that conversation. Overall a fantastic phone.One cool thing is you can add a speed dial on any phone and it will show and can be used by all phones.

No, you can only conference someone else in your house to the person you dialed on the phone. I still love the set of phones. The last set I bought lasted 10 years.

Peter. I believe once you have both lines with calls you can press the conference button and it should pull the second call into the conference. I must admit I don't use the feature. Should be easy to figure out if you try it with 2 friends on the lines. Paul

Yes. You can answer an incoming call with either handset, and can, in fact, talk from both handsets simultaneously creating a conference call.

I got my daughter that phone last year, no you can't do amything but answer the phone. I wouldn't recommend that stupid little phone to my worst enemy. Hope this help's.

You can. But the Bluetooth connection is not always great, while the phone will ring everywhere you have a handset if you answer you may not have a good connection.

Supposedly multiple calls can be handled. However, I have not had success in doing so. I have an iPhone that is finicky at best. Every time I try to hang up one call to return to another it hangs up both. Headset or phone? I don,t know.

I actually have noticed this as the caller on the other end, and then some other times I don't hear the echo as the caller. I am not sure as to why it happens.. maybe they have both cordless phones on and near each other? Next time I call and I hear the echo I will ask if they have more than one phone on.

Yes, that is no problem, It's like having two separate phones. There is an indicator that tells you when either line 1 or 2 is in use.

The phone lets me know who is calling. I don't think there is the option of a different ring for different callers. Maybe someone else can answer your 2nd question better than me. Also read more about what the technical information about the phone.

Yes, you can do a kind of conference call with multiple people in the home on the same phone call. What you cannot do is call 2 different numbers at the same time because it is all hooked into 1 phone number.
2067834
Yes, if the other phone is from the set which should contain the same number. I have had to switch phones because the battery was low (talked for over 3 hours) LOL

Don't quote me but based on my experience you can use that phone. Just explain that the other phone is lost. As long as you can verify your identity they will simply switch the information and the number. Only exception would be if your number were inaccessible, and it doesn't appear that would be the case. Good luck and I hope this helps.

If you're referring to this bluetooth pairing to 2 phones at the same time, then the answer is yes. It's called multi-point: where a single bluetooth can be paired to 2 phones and answer from either phone, depending which phone rings first. Actually, you can put the first phone on hold while answering the second phone, then return to the first...all via this little baby. Hope this helps!! I have purchased at least 5 of these, not just for myself (most were though) but for my mother and sister also. An excellent purchase.

You can use two, or as many aas you wat, in different or the same houses on the same account, if you want that many phones. :-)

Yes, or this can be configured as a different number, all analog phones that are connected (say you plug it into the normal phone jack for your home and have 2 other phones (powered or with a total REN of <5... powered via power adapter, are normally a ren of .5 or less) but all these phones will share the same line (someone could pick up another ext and hear the conversation in progress)
