Yes, initial charge is 11 hours on base--the charger. Comes with manual or manual accessible online at V-tec's site.

I believe this is an extension only providing you have the VTech base.....I don't. Which means I have yet to use the damn thing! Good luck. This phone weighs nothing. Great design but........

Yes the handset needs to be charged because it's a portable phone. How often you charge depends on use, like a cell phone if you use it a lot the battery will run out; but it has a great battery life

The base charges the phone and the base plugs into the electrical outlet. Handset does not work as the phone. MUST have the desk top phone as well. Hope this helps... Jeff

Does it have to be charged? Yes, it is battery powered. It holds a charge for a few days, but it is best to leave in the base station when not using. The base station plugs into the wall, and charges the phone when it is placed in the base. Hope that makes sense. Rick

mine was partially charged when it arrived, but I charged it before using it.

Yes, it does but it charges on the base it comes with. Charges seem to last about a day or two depending on usage.

Everything is included, but in case you're using Polycome phone, you would need to order a separate accessory to support the handset.

Is does the phone charge when you have the extra battery attached to it? I have a problem where if I only had the case attached I had to position it onto the base properly in order to get it to charge. And sometimes I had to wiggle the little copper piece and set it back on the base in order to get it to charge. I found that when I would wiggle the copper piece and pull it towards the front phone charge better. But it ultimately became pretty frustrating.

The charger units that hold the handsets only charge. The connection is between the handsets themselves and the base.

no I am told it has to be a pre pay phone only if the prior owner says was then yes. There are some like that but need to know

I don't know..I would call my carrier and ask. The phone I have belongs to my mother..she does not need anything extra on her phone.

Yes. The charger comes with it, but you do need the base for it to work. It is not a stand alone phone. I did the same as Maureen....ordered the main set and later bought two more hand sets.

Yes, the handset can be charged by AC power from both the base and the additional cradle. Hope this helps.

No. Only the base needs to be connected to your telephone company phone line. The second handset only needs to be plugged into an electric outlet to charge. Speaking of charging, these things hold a charge for *days*.

There was no monthly charge, I just prepaid four minutes. So if you did not use it for a month you paid nothing and if you used it a lot you paid for the minutes are used. in fact, I still have the phone, it has been at least six months since I used it, and it still has about 100 minutes loaded onto it.

It depends on your phone carrier and who you have service with. You should be able to with additional fees.

You had to have Caller ID with your service provider and costs will vary. Other than that there isn't a charge to use it, just plug it into the phone line and let it do it's thing. Everything works as advertised.

No. When the battery is placed in the box and attached to the wires, it is charged by that unit. This is assuming you are using it in a Fios cable unit. If you are going to use it for some other application, yes, it will need to be charged.

The cost of the phone itself is a one time charge. If you want to make or receive calls on it, you have to pay whatever phone company you use for their service.

I do not believe so, I have no need so to me it was not a requirement...it is still a great little phone for the money... my opinion of course.

I have used it for over a month after canceling the extras based on what I read online. Yes, it has been free for me. When you use it, just be sure to make sure (1) you are in a good area to get a cell connection and (2) the battery is charged.

No, your phone or charging item cannot be over charged, but I used it maybe 2 times and the charger stopped working, I suggest not buying it.
