Not only does it support two lines (it's programmed the first time you put it in the base for 2 line), the 2-line management system is brilliant.You can even set each phone to default to one line or the other.

I am using the tcx905 with the 2 line base tru8866. It works fine. You have the choice of auto, line 1 or line 2 preference for dialing out(on the handset setup). When the talk/flash key is used on auto the phone will connect to line 1. If line 1 is in use by the base or another handset, the phone will use line 2. If you setup with line 1 or 2, it will go to that line when the talk/flash button is pressed. In standby mode, you can also use the soft keys to choose line 1 or 2, regardless of the setup used. Hope this helps.

If you select another unit and call it, it becomes voice-activated so that the callee can answer from across the room. This mes and the system reverts to the default (not voice activated) in a minute or so.

My wife's business has two separate lines to her computer shop. There is one line that is 807-345-1995 and a 2nd line, 807-345-9502. With this one telephone, you can choose to use line one or line two. It is an excellent phone for this reason. There are not that many phones that offer this feature.

yes, what you do is figure out which line is on hold. then hit "line" button followed by 1,2,3, or 4 depending which line you would like to select. then hit the "select/save" button and it will pick up the call.

yes you can, you just go to menu and select initial settings, scroll to talking caller id and push select, then select either on or off. you can have one on and the others off, its up to you on a per handset basis. It really is a nice phone and it goes all the way to my neighbors;(we live in a trailer park) without crackeling or any type of distortion. :) hope this helped!

No, it has to have an analog line. The most calls you can join at once is 2.

I have not used this feature, but when INT is pressed it asks whether you want to transfer call to base, handset 2 or handset 3. Sorry if this is not helpful.

Our phone only has one line. Perhaps there is a different model with two or more, but I am not aware of it.

The unit does have two separate "plug-ins". The first is marked "L1-L2", which can be used for both lines, or only for L-1 (depending on the cable and how the jack is wired). The second is marked "L-2" and is for Line 2 only. I have used the base unit, plus five wireless handhelds, for over two years, and have not had any problems with the "Caller ID" program. To delete each individual "Caller ID", I have to use the delete program, but this clears the base unit and the five wireless handheldss. My family has been very happy with this two line system.

Sounds like you have call waiting with your phone carrier. If that's so, then you will have to press the receiver (as though you are hanging up, but you are not), then the next caller will be there. Then upon finishing that call or asking them to wait, then you press the receiver again and you should be back to your original party. If you have more than 1 phone line, then the call should roll to your 2nd line (depends on how you have the phone set up to roll (hunt), then you would press "hold" for the 1st line caller and press line 2 to answer the next call.

I also have a two line phone. Your working line is where you install the On/Off switch before the line enters the phone. I'm very pleased with the on off switch. It has stopped those annoying calls late at night.

Both the base handset and the remote handset have their own choice of line selection. Also, both handsets have built in speaker-phone.

The phone also auto seeks a line. This means that if you click to answer, you will get the line that is ringing If you want a specific line, you click on that line button.

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.

mr. peters, yes... i have two lines on this phone and i can have two cordless phones . i can alternate between two calls on the cordless.

Multiple people in the household can share in one "outside" conversation - one on each handset at the same time. You can't dial another number e. g., call a second party from a second handset while someone is talking on the first handset to the original party. You would have to have two separate telephone lines with two separate base telephone units - one connected to each of the two separate lines - in order to conduct two independent conversations at the same time. I hope I haven't created confusion!

Switching is as we imagine!! If you have 2 sims working (1 for voice / sms, 1 for data), you can receive calls from both carriers!! Even if you have an open call you can receive an incoming call from the other sim!! I have one for data and other for calls, but both receives calls!! When you want to call your phone system ask what sim to be used!! When you send sms, system also ask what sim to used!! I love this!!
