can this phone be used as a stand alone phone without a base?

The phone does not have to be in the base. You can put the phone anywhere you want in the house or even out in the yard or garage. However, the base must be plugged into an outlet for the phone to work (it's like a transmitter or whatever the proper term is). Also, the base is the re-charger when the battery gets low on the phone. Like a cell phone, the more you use the phone the sooner it loses it's charge. It does seem to hold a charge for quite awhile. I usually put my phone back on the base when not in use, just out of habit. Also, you have to have the main unit for the auxiliary phones to work.

No, it is only a portable handset for the base phone and must be activated from the base.

Actually, it requires TWO bases. a) The Charging Base (shown in the picture, but not included) keeps the battery charged.b) The Base phone which plugs into the telephone line and communicates with the cordless unit.

This phone does not have to be sitting in the base; however it must be linked to a base. We use it as a wireless extension

Yes, you do need the base. However, this expensive phone system has not worked well for us. It has some sound quality issues on all three phones we purchased.

No, It is a cordless phone that can be used anywhere in the vicinity of its base. It is mobile in that respect, but it is not a cell phone such as an iPhone.

Yes you can, but the base unit uses a landline, these are not cell phones. Hope this helps.

I'm just letting you two know that the handset base (cordless unit base) is not wall mountable.You could always mount a small shelf and set the base on it though.

Yes, this handset is strictly a slave to a base station. The cradle the phone sits in is only a battery charger and has no place to plug in a phone line or Internet connection,

not a replacement for the base. It's just an additional handset with it's own charger.
1024044
Yes you can. At least as I understand your question. You plug into the base and the other work off the base phone.

You can set each "individual" handset from the base to it's own ring tone or no ring at all. The base unit will still accept incoming calls on the answering machine.

Yes, but this is just an extension (Accessory Handset Only - requires TL88102 to operate ).You need the main base to use it and you can have the answering system in both lines.

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.

Yes you can but this is the worst phone I ever had. I would not recommend purchasing one if you are thinking of doing so

Yes, you can use the system with cell phones only, and the instructions show how to program it to indicate there is no land line i.e. "cell only". Just don't place the base unit near a cable outlet, I did and there was a lot of static. I moved it away from the cable outlet and the static went away.

There is only one incoming line connection for the base. Possibly if you use a double out going junction connecter it could be done. But I am not sure but I think you can use the base to fax by itself. But I don't know why you would want to. Unless all your incoming phone calls are faxes.

When you say "base" that leads me to believe you're talking about a base unit. This is a handset only and requires a DECT 6.0 compatible base.

NO you cannot.. You can just connect the base with a router and the phone would work without any computer..

No. The base requires electricity. If power is out, these phones will not work.
