How Easy is it for Someone to Join the Phone Call from another Handset? If there are 3 lines but 6 handsets, can the other handsets easily conference?

The way it is set up out of the box is that each handset is put on a different extension. Conferencing is something that is handled by your PBX server, so before you buy this you'll want to make sure that the service you're connecting to supports multiple users, and that there is a simple way to conference them together.

When I want to use my Panasonic while on my desk phone, I must hit talk and dial *11. Then the call leaves my desk phone and transfers to the Panasonic portable. It does not act as an extension phone. I do not know if there is a way for the Panasonic and the desk phone to be on the same call. I doubt it.

Yes, it appears you can only use 2 handsets at a time and the third must remain in the base unit. See pg 20 in the Operating Instructions.

on the base phone you can just pick it up when it rings and start talking. The other two phones you will need to press talk in order to answer.

I don't know. I only have one line. However, the extra handset I bought seems to work interchangeably with all the other handsets. It just seems to be one more on the common circuit.

yes, you can use more handsets. both the basic unit w/four handsets and extras are readily available on e-bay.

Yes, that has been my experience so far. The land line seems to be the key. The separate handsets can link to outgoing calls on separate Bluetooth links; however, only one land line connection and one Bluetooth at the same time is possible. That is a combination of two separate lines at the same time.

Sorry you can't add additional handsets. I asked that question myself at a store that sells the phones. You can purchase a new phone that is equipped with 3 or 4 handsets but can't add anything to a 2 handset unit.

Hi Frederick,First of all--I only have one phone (not four). I did not know that I was supposed to get four phones?I no longer use it as my main answer phone. I have had battery problems with it.I have five different phones. They all ring at the same time.My main answer phone is Uniden. I got four phones with it.So far no problems--battery is still good.

nope. it has mute and supports call waiting. and an additional handset can join an existing conversation (2 handsets + 1 outside caller); 1st handset can hang up after 2nd picks up, if desired. hth.

yes - you and another person can talk to someone else at the same time with your handsets

Yes. We answer one one handset, and if we then pick up a second phone we are automatically conferences in.

You can use the intercom button when you are not otherwise talking on the phone, just to buzz one of the other phones... it will ask which line you want to buzz. The ring sounds different so you know it is an intercom/house call. I hope this answers your question. :)

Peter. I believe once you have both lines with calls you can press the conference button and it should pull the second call into the conference. I must admit I don't use the feature. Should be easy to figure out if you try it with 2 friends on the lines. Paul

I don't know. You can take the call on another handset, but I don't know about another phone.

Up to how many handset can talk at the same time?...We have 2 sons and they both love to join in the conversation with their grandmother in Florida every time we're on the phone.

Yes, you can do a kind of conference call with multiple people in the home on the same phone call. What you cannot do is call 2 different numbers at the same time because it is all hooked into 1 phone number.
