Does this have the capability for call forwarding? Or the "link to phone" - is that just for transferring the phonebook on your cell or can you link the phone so that it will ring on your cell as well?

The ability to have a call fowarded is a function of your land line phone company. For example Cablevision has an easy protocol for forward land line phone messages to your cell phone from this system.

The iphone does link to the phone. However, the clarity of the voice on the phone is not that good.

I only have one cell linked so not sure on that but I do know you can set it so each cell rings on separate handsets or all. I absolutely love it. I just recently got rid of my home phone and it still works!

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.

I actually haven't done this, but I don't know any reason why it wouldn't work. I had landline telephone service (POTS-Plain Old Telephone Service) from the local telephone company (Verizon in my case). I brought a new cell phone and went through the process of rolling over the my landline telephone number to the new cell phone, a process that can take a few days. Once the new cell phone became active with my old number, the landline connection, naturally, went dead because there was no longer a phone number associated with that connection. I then went outside to the telephone network connection box on the side of the house and disconnected my home telephone wiring from the telephone network (an important step!), depending on your home's wiring you may also need to connect wires coming from the house to keep all the RJ-11 ports connected. I then connected the Xlink to the home telephone wiring (just plugged it into one of the RJ-11 ports in the house) and the Xlink now "charges" all the RJ-11 ports around the house (only 3 in my case). With the cell phone connected to the Xlink via Bluetooth any phone (and every phone) that would of worked with my landline service will ring when the cell phone receives an incoming call and can pick up the call. I have noticed that the phones do not start ringing until after the second ring (that is, the caller will hear a ring before your phones actually start ringing), but everything otherwise works just like I was still connected to POTS. It's just a lot less expensive in my case (I'm using prepaid cell phone service for this). Where I believe some people have problems with this is in their home telephone wiring and I would suggest you get someone to help you figure out your wiring if you don't understand basic telephone wiring.

hi, thanks for the question. I have not tried linking to a Galaxy S4, but if it is as easy as connecting to an iPhone it will be a breeze!

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.

I didn't see that posted in the description, but I just so happen to have two phones to try it on. It would only connect to one phone at a time not both. Hope that helps.

How tight is the iphone integration? Does the unit support incoming and outgoing calls from an iphone? Is the incoming number displayed on the screen, can you answer a call via the touch screen? etc etc. Thanks for the advice!

No, this doesn't have a calling feature. If there is an app that allows for calling I cannot say.

My admin assistant was able to get the incoming calls to ring on my cell and cisco phone simultaneously, in series or individually. The phone was very programmable. You can log into your phone system and change the settings any time. We only used it with ring central so I don't know if other companies have the same capabilities.

I have two cell phones (different numbers) as well as my original land-line connected to this system. When the Bluetooth signal is within range (+/- 75 feet of the base) all calls, to all numbers, ring the handsets. Therefore you can pick up any incoming call for any number, from any phone, including your cell phones (assuming the call was for one of the cell phone numbers. Land-line calls are obviously not routed through your cellular device). As for outgoing calls, once again, you can either call from your land-line or call from either of the two cell phones with no special requirements. Just pick up your phone and dial. No "unpairing" required whatsoever. Oh, and any incoming text message for your cell phones causes the system to ring (a different ring versus the "regular" ring) and announce "text message". Handy but i assume you can turn off that feature if you don't want to hear it. Hope that answers your question.

I honestly haven't tried that, but I don't see why not - since it allows you to select whether to make an outgoing call via a land line or cell and the cell incoming calls come in on the set directly, if they are properly paired via Bluetooth. I've used both the Blackberry and iPhone pairing - both work, both allow access to the cell phone's phonebook. One thing to know though - it doesn't read the Cell, Home or other type of numbers, seeing them the same instead, i.e. listing them all without any differentiation... Hope that helps.

If you have touch tone service with your provider, it works like any other phone. It also has an amplification button for those that need it louder. There isn't any call waiting or address books. It's a basic telephone.

Hi Erick. In fact, I understood that it had this feature. But I found problems with it. I still look for something to set up the feature, but I couldn't found it yet. But it says that has Caller Id.Good luck!

If you only have one (cell) phone linked to it you just pick up your cordless phone and dial. If you have more than one it will have a slightly different ring tone. Also dialing out you can choose which (cell) phone number to use. Its really quite a unique instrument and works as well if not better than advertised. VERY simple to set up and use.

No, I don't think so. But Verizon has a way to forward calls that it tied to voicemail, so I've never actually needed that feature.
