I have an old VTech phone expansion set. However, the Base is malfunctioning, if I buy an upgraded version can I expand it using the same handsets??

The best answer is to call V Tech. When I upgraded my current V - Tech Phone from an earlier model they were very helpful..

I faced this need and satisfied it by buying a complete new system with the answering part, then I used only the hand sets. I think I found a source for the handsets, and it was cheaper to buy the complete set and use only the new handsets. If you buy additional handsets, I found you had to cancel all the current handsets and then re link the old as well as the new handsets. Worked fine doing that.

Now that you have the base unit including a handset, yes, you can buy additional handsets without buying another base. What you have expandable, so you can buy extra handsets to add to your phone system. You can buy them at

I think the phone you choose is the ans. to that. I bought a Vtech which had a base phone and a hand held. In my case it works well. At least as well as a cell phone.

Barb, as I understood this at the time of purchase, yes you could expand the unit to as many as you would like. I have had this phone for about a year, maybe longer, it works good and the answerer is reliable. Believe you would like it also. When you order just include the number needed.

To the best of my knowledge the handset is specifically designed with the matching handset and not any other type. I am not aware that they could be bought separately. If you have a different handset with it's own base, yes they will work together, but NOT INTERCHAGABLY.

I currently have a total of 5 handsets on my V-Tech LS6405. I think as long as you register the new handsets to the base, you can add more than 3 to your LS6425 phone system.

I don't know. The good news is that both phone systems are DECT 6.0 systems. The manual for the system covers the following models: SN1157, SN1196, SN1197, SN6146, SN6147, SN6197 SN6197, and the two line versions of those models that have that optional feature. I just don't know if vtech uses different systems across the DECT line when it comes to pairing up additional handsets. Manufacturing efficiency would argue in favor of compatibility but then, for marketing purposes the company may not want every handset to work with every base set. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I have a KX-TGA931T (3) handset unit and wish to add another handset. Can I use other Panasonic handsets that are DEC 6.0 or must I purchase identical model?

The correct model number for an expansion handset for this system is actually KX-TGA651B. Just pop that model number into Amazon search.

I am not sure of the model number compatibility. I will let you know that we ended up not finding a VTech headset that would work with our VTech phone. It was pretty frustrating. I hope you have better luck than we did.

If the handsets match the base, you can add handsets to it. The base unit has a maximum number of handsets that can be added. Consult the docs on that, and to make sure you are adding the right model to the existing base unit.

This phone is only for expanding your system. You cannot plug and go if you dont already have a base. So the answer is No.

You didn't mention if you had registered the handset. It needs to be registered with the base unit before operating. The manual shows the process. If that doesn't work you may need to call vtech support for assistance.

They're extension handsets. Think of it like extendable handsets for a regular cordless phone. To configure additional extensions for each handset would require a base, not just the extension handset.

Yes. According to the VTech web site:If your DS6671-3 cordless headset gets broken, you can replace it with the compatible accessory headset IS6100.http://www.vtechphones.com/products/product_detail/1588This replacement headset has to be registered to your telephone base. You may refer to the User's Manual under Appendix section for instructions on how to add and register a headset.

this *is* the additional handset. this is not the base phone that you add to. so do not buy this one as your first unit. get the base unit first and add these on as you need.
