For a 1-line home setup: If one handset is already on an external call, can a 2nd handset just pickup and join the call like regular POTS phones can?

No. From your IP PBX, you'd have to open a 3 way call from the handset that currently has the call in progress. So it would be a conf call like this.. You on extension 101 talking with the outside line, you put outside line on hold, then go to line 2 on the handset and call internal extension 102. After 102 picks up, you can execute a conference on the LCD of your handset and join everyone in. Otherwise you'd park the call and have to enter feature codes to pick it up from another extension. Realistically, SIP Trunks are absurdly cheap. We get them for $5 a line. So what you pay your local cable company $30 a line for, I'd rather have 3-4 SIP trunk lines and never have a busy or can't dial out.

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

yes . each handset has a button to press . for example you are using phone number #1 and want to talk to phone #6. you just enter which handset number you would like to use.

I'm not an expert but it looks to me that you would need a second unit to handle the second line. It works very, very well. Haven't had any calls ring my phone that I didn't want to answer. Does block caller ID but who cares now.

No, I do not think there is that capability within the phone - you might have that capability with your carrier, or with your PABX if you are hooked up to such a system. But, not with just the Uniden. Now, if you mean can a call be picked up with any of the handsets connected to this base unit - then, yes - any handset working off of the one base unit can talk to any incoming call.

If I understand your question, the answer is yes. If a call comes in my husband can listen to the call on one handset while I listen on another without any dialing--we just each click on the #Talk" button

No, but you can switch over to another call if you have the call waiting phone plan if that is what you mean by 2 lines.

Yes, you certainly can. Press the INT button and then enter the number of the handset you are calling. The INT button is pressed on the receiving handset, and then both handsets can press the speaker buttons, if you like, and you can communicate.

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.

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 take that to be asking if each fxs/phone port receive phone calls separately. The answer is yes. You can have two phone calls going at once, or conference call/put on hold on a 2-line phone. You could, if you wanted, use one phone line for yourself and run the other to your neighbor's house and send them a monthly phone bill, etc. The two lines have separate SIP logins and can have different phone numbers, or even different SIP/VOIP providers. The only thing you can't do is have radically different internet settings, like different IP's, one on a VPN and the other not, or something weird like that.

Yes, this unit will allow more than 1 handset to be used on the same call. Full details surrounding this unit's Call Share and Conference calls can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/opermanpdf/KXTGE260-MUL.pdf#page=24

Why would you need two handsets? to get another one you would have to buy a second phone...duh!
1297419
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)

Conference between an outside line and up to 4 cordless handsets. 3 way calling is part of the call waiting feature, so the answer is yes
265779
Yes. We answer one one handset, and if we then pick up a second phone we are automatically conferences in.

It is a VOIP phone, so you wouldn't be able to connect a regular phone line or "pots" line. You would need to have it connected to the Internet. I have personally replaced my landline with my VoIP phone line that I get through RingCentral, which is an AT&T; service.
