This phone does not have that feature, you need to call you phone company to subscribe to call forwarding.

The ability to have a call fowarded is a function of your land line phone company. For example Cablevision has an easy protocol for forward land line phone messages to your cell phone from this system.

You can connect one phone at a time. If there are two phones with Bluetooth in the car it will connect to the first phone it happens to see. For example, if it sees my phone first it will not drop the connection and reconnect to my wife's phone if she gets an incoming call. To get that to work I would need to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and wait for it to attach to her phone. Then it may attach to her phone. As far as I can tell there is no 'prioritization' scheme for it to connect to more than one phone in response to events like the phone ringing or to select a preferred phone for outgoing telephone calls.

May be too late for this but here goes anyway...I had this same problem, ATT landline, GV would NOT port it over, only if it was with cell phone service provider. I found and old cell phone in my drawer, went to MetroPCS (or any No-Contract) service provider, ported my ATT landline phone (yes I had to pay for 1 month service with cell phone svc provider!) Once my home phone was ported, I was able to immediately port it from MetroPCS to GoogleVoice. Absolutely worth it, as I've had my home tel nbr for years and the kids had it memorized etc.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I've never used these features. I have call forwarding on my land line which I forward to my cell phone sometimes.

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by link directly to the phone line but I only have mine hooked straight into a modem, no wireless connection. You have to have an ethernet connection from your laptop to the back of your modem ( that's the gray colored cable) else it wouldn't connect at all. If you need to split your signal from the modem to both your laptop and your phone line ( so you can run both at the same time) then what you need to buy is a router. The router is what will allow you to do this. That is if I'm understanding you correctly. I hope this helps. If it doesn't help then call your cable company provider and they can talk you through it all, they're very helpful!!

I have not been using it that way, and I understand tethering is your best technical option for sharing your cell connection.

Thanks for your interest on our items.This feature really depends on whether your cell phone carrier allows it or not. The phone itself does have the capability.We look forward to have you as a customer.Thanks,Gus

You can only have two phones connected at once, and it gives you the option of selecting number 1 or 2. You have to know/remember which is which. I rarely dial out on cell from these phones, but often will answer using them. It works great, but the cell phone needs to be relatively close to the base (15-20 feet). I keep mine on a charger about 5 feet away.

It doesn't have phone-calling capability. I hope that answers your question.

This phone does not have a phone jack, it connects via bluetooth or DEC4 to the Ooma base, so it cannot be used for anything other than Ooma. I have Google Voice forwarded to my Ooma line and I get all the calls via one device, Google Voice reads a script upon pickup that you know it is being forwarded.

Hi, thanks for asking a question about the AT&T; handset... For the handset you should be able to link it to the main base but not main base to main base... If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask...

How tight is the iphone integration? Does the unit support incoming and outgoing calls from an iphone? Is the incoming number displayed on the screen, can you answer a call via the touch screen? etc etc. Thanks for the advice!

Spencer, did anyone answer your question? 1) I connected the the Dlink with my main phone (the one i use the most). I tested it, all worked well. An hour or so later, a call came in. When I picked up another phone (I have 4 through out the apt), I could not pick up the call; yet the other phone was still ringing! 2) Does my computer have to be on at all times for this Dlink to work? --danae (banging my head against the wall on this one)

No, I don't think so. But Verizon has a way to forward calls that it tied to voicemail, so I've never actually needed that feature.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

Yes this comes with voice dialing, you just tap the main button once and then it allows state the name and it works. However, I your phone has to have the voice dialing capabilities already, which really is a given. Hope that helped
