What if I need more than one handset? Do I keep purchasing this same model, base and all?

Good luck getting these to work at all. We ended up just throwing them out. We have been using Skype and the previous version of these phones for years. There is no customer support. As you will find if you google, these often just do not work and nobody will respond to your questions.

Very good question. I bought only one. It works pretty fine. Please let me know how to work with two station in case you find out.

You can buy an additional handset at Amazon, they work fine. Distance from main may be over 150 feet. The base is good for two handset and two different numbers.However you can use only one handset at the same time, they also work like an intercom

Yes, buy them from ebay or elsewhere. You may need to search internet for instructions to register more handset though. The maximum for number of handsets is limited to six.

I just want to add my interest for additional handsets as well. The product as-is is great but we need at least 2 handsets.

Following is the reply I received from Linksys/Cisco when I wrote to them with this question:"Yes, you can expand it up to four handsets. However, this device is NOT sold separately from the base station. Additionally, there are no plans to sell them separately. "You can have multiple handsets but they can be used under just one Skype account."

I can't give precise information about this. What i do know is that i bought a uniden base that came with 1 handset, about 10 years ago. the new handset i bought this year from amazon should have been compatible according to the information on the amazon site. i couldn't get the handset coupled with the base, the "firmware" was not compatible. i ended up harvesting the battery from the new handset and put the new handset, and the old battery, into the good will donation box. good luck.

Only six can be registered to a single base. For 7 - 12 phones you'll need a second base unit.

Well I do not know if they sell only the hand set. But I can use a new handset with and old base and a new base whit and old handset. Is only cuestion of pairing.

I only have 4 handsets, so do not know how many (if any) more it would support.

I think your best bed it to look for one on Ebay. I found this in a search, http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/291252260606?lpid=82 The Handset and Base are priced as separate units, but you can charge it on the other bases and just alternate it My guess once you get in on the base it get attactched to it somehow.

Yes, you can purchase another handset without purchasing another base. The extra handset comes with its own charging base. You should be able to pick one up wherever you bought the single handset or at Amazon.

I have purchased additional handsets. A simple procedure pairs the handsets with the base unit and gives you access to the directory previously entered. Just make sure you use the 2-line handsets with the 2-line base.

I don't know. Not sure why you would need a 2nd base unit. I use one with 5 cordless handsets and 2 cellphones.

Yes you can. Press Menu -&gt; Settings -&gt; Handset Name. You will have to do this with each handset. Good luck!

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

No, in fact you only get the one headset. At least when I bought mine from Best Buy years ago that was how it worked. They really nickel and dimed you. I bought a second headset which went bad within 1 month, and exchanged it for a new one, which went bad a year later. The handset that came with the base lasted about 3 years before it started to fail the ones before it.
