Usually cell phones line are busy during an emergency, will this phone still be able to make phone call to someone with the same phone?

No it will not work. Satellite phones like Iridium or Inmarsat would be your best bet.

These phones use the same cell towers as any other cell phone. They can call any land line or any cell phone in service, so long as the SpareOne has an activated SIM card. If you're in a true disaster area (tornado, hurricane, etc.), where the cell towers have been knocked down or are otherwise inoperable, this phone (and all other cell phones) will not work.

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.

Should not be a problem. Each device will need access to a phone jack in order for them to call you if there is trouble. However, they should be able to share the same number..

Yes, once one person picks up the call, all the rest of the phones on the network can hit either talk or speakerphone and hear and speak as if in a conversation. Caveat Emptor: Phones need to be separated by at least 20 feet to prevent feedback howl. Otherwise, it works perfectly.

you can use it for minutes, yes. you cannot, however, add this phone to a line with an existing number.

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

Yes, that is no problem, It's like having two separate phones. There is an indicator that tells you when either line 1 or 2 is in use.

This handset has only one line. I don't know if it would receive one of the two lines you already have, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yes, the phone will work fine on just 1 line and handle up to four. I currently use several of these within my business and utilize all four lines.
1595599
Yes. Just pick up the receiver and press talk as if you were answering the phone and both of you will be able to talk.

I don't think so. It does have a "hold" button, but I don't know how you'd alert another phone to pick the call up.

Have no idea, ha e not had that problem. I have on occasion got message emergency calls only, which I find baffling as that's why I have the phone, but it won't put a call through when that message comes up, I think it's because the phones are cheap junk, but all I can afford.

Never tried it, but it's just like any other phone line, one can talk on one phone, someone else on another. Making a different call though I would say NO.

Not sure what this question means but if it means is there an intercom function between the phones the answer is yes. You can intercom to a specific phone on the same line.

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.

Think of it as a replacement handset. If two people could be on the same line were the headset not installed through using an extension or conference calling; then yes, otherwise no. The unit has no capability to add another person to the call.

Yes, you can set up several people to call before calling 911. Its a good idea - especially if you have animals that will need to be controlled. I have mine setup so that if the GPS signal shows that I'm at X, then call this number. If it shows me at Y, call a different number. It is also advisable to contact your local fire rescue folks and ask them what you can do so they don't knock your door down when they respond. Where I am, we have a KNOX Box that the fire department keeps the master key for. So they can open the KNOX box next to my front door and inside, there is a key to my front door. Hope I've answered your question.
