If I put numbers in the main base phone book, can I transfer them to the other two phones or will I have program the numbers in each phone's book?

If you put them in the base unit phone they will automatically load on the other phones.

You can use two, or as many aas you wat, in different or the same houses on the same account, if you want that many phones. :-)

Yes - but make sure not to make any changes at your current provider. Instead, have Phone Power "pull" the number from the other provider. There will be a period of time after you begin your Phone Power but before your number is "pulled". During that time you can make calls but you won't be able to receive any on the Phone Power system. That's the other reason not to make any changes with your current provider. Good luck with the decision. I'm just another happy Phone Power customer.

If you "shop around" on various Amazon sites, probably you will find some deal that sends more handsets with the first purchase of your base unit and handsets. Adding more handset after your original purchase is more than a one step process. Each base set is preprogrammed to work with the set of handsets that come with the original purchase (base set & handsets). In order to add new handsets to your original base set you will need to follow the exact instructions that came with your original purchase. Then the added handsets will be programmed to your base unit. Yes, keep those instructions. I strongly suggest that you just buy more handsets with the original purchase. My memory isn't clear about the various units I shopped, but it seems that six handsets were offered with one deal. Good luck. BM

Yes, you always have the option of transferring a number you already have through any carrier or letting them assigning you a new number. I think if you do it online it lets you pick maybe the prefix.

Yes. It's CALLED PORTING YOUR EXISTING PHONE NUMBER. Ooma helps you do this.

I gave the phone to my Grandmother as a gift. My brother set up one phone book and she can access it from all the phones.

Edited: you can assign any combination of 8 lines/extensions to ring the base or each of 6 handsets. There are also separate controls for "Grouping Handset/Handset selection for receiving calls", and "Handset and Line No. selection for making calls", so you can also assign different extensions for outgoing calls.

I don't understand the question; transferred to one of the handsets from what? A call coming into the unit rings on all hand sets and can be picked up on any one or all of your handsets.

100 entries and if you enter them on the handset you can then transfer (very easily) the #'s to the base set and visa versa.

on the back of the base or your other cordless phone should be the model number - type that number into Amazon and it should find the same model. We needed extra phones for our office for an expansion and did this. When the phones arrived, the directions told you how to sync the new phones to the existing base. We've had no problems - very easy to do. We did have to call customer service for a different minor issue and they were so friendly and helpful. Hope this helps.

I have four rings, but I think you can program the number of rings into the phone. My son set mine up for me.

Yes, you can add more phones. I got the set that had 2 phones already and it said you could add more bases in the instructions.

If you go to the main "cell phones and service" page and scroll down a little bit, on the left hand side there is a link to "keep your number." It tells you what you have to do for each service provider to port your number

I has a phone book memory of 100 #s that you can select from. Not sure if that's what you mean. Also has a redial feature - you can select from the last few numbers dialed and hit Redial. You can enter numbers dialed or numbers received into the phone book, I think - haven't tried that yet..

You would need to flash the phone to page plus service -- super easy normally. Then contact Page Plus or any dealer and have your number/account transferred to the new phone. I haven't tried putting this current of a model on page plus, but the other older model samsungs and HTC incredibles (5 phones total) have worked quite well. A reputable dealer or Page plus direct can handle the details.

Each handset holds 30 phonebook entries. The phonebook entries are independent to each handset. Entries stored in a handset can not be viewed in another system handset. This information comes directly from the manual. www.gephones.com may be helpful in the future.
