I have a similar question to the one below no one answered. The phone is important too. Can you put people on hold like the older models do?

Yes, I understand. I really love our Brother Intellefax Machine, hope everything works out for you!

I'm sorry, how do you think you get service? You can leave a handset on the base to answer from it....

You can. It's very old school. As with what aceflier said, sometimes it does come back as not enough memory. I just purchased this phone as a mean to be able to communicate with my family while at work since it's in a wooded area where nothing but AT&T; works.

You can have only 1 line active while talking and put other lines in hold. You can also merge multiple calls from different lines in 1 single call. This phone support up to 5 lines.

The speaker phone is on the actual handset. I'm almost certain when you put the phone on the base it hangs up the call. Hope this helps!

Yes you can. Place the call on hold, before you hang up the handset press the extension, announce the call and then hang up the handset.

Yes....but I bought mine here on Amazon used for $19.99 it was an incredible deal however the main phone occasionally hangs up for no reason on people since these people are my family and not particularly important I really don't care, so I just wait for them to call me back... so that is call waiting! All kidding aside yes it has call waiting, and the phone cuts out because one of the battery leads is bad... so I got a sweet $60 cordless phone with answering machine and an extra handset for $20.

You can press the button on the headset to answer the call ,but the call gets routed from the phone to the headset. So you need it nearby .

Others say yes, but I can't find anything about it on the phone menus. Please tell us how!!!

The friend I found this phone for uses Verizon voice mail, and didn't want the answering machine to pick up first. Just set the pick up sequence so the phone doesn't answer or turn it off completely.

Yes you can transfer calls between handsets directly, or you can put the call on hold, dial another handset, announce the call, and have them press the line on hold. Great phone system in my opinion, with 2 things that could be better. The quality of the music on hold feature is terrible, and the display screens blank out if the phone is dropped, although the phone remains completely functional.

Same here - I guess that is how it works since it is a call center phone. It sucks though and customer service is non existent. The consolation is it is good for outbound calls. You can use a 2 way phone splitter and just use it for calling out.

If I pick up the call on the corded base phone but want to use the handset, I just ask the person to hold a moment, get the cordless handset, turn it on and start speaking. the call is now on the cordless hand set so I then hang up the corded base phone. Hope this helps. I do really like this phone. The corded base phone also works if you lose your electricity which has happened to us.

If you ordered the phone lifter then you can answer it with your headset. If you don't then you will have to lift the handset.

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.

Hey, you can't make a call with just the headset. you have to use your phone. I will like to recommended you to buy it tho. It's one of the best I have ever use. I'm being honest with you bro. I never had a problem with it.

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.
