It will work fine. Just make sure that in your telephone company interface box you unplug the wire that comes from the telephone pole that use to bring your telephone service to your house so that it does not interfere with the functioning of the Oomo Telo and devices you now have plugged into the phone jacks.

Yes, I too have a similar type system with multiple handsets, I even have a fax/multi use machine plugged in also. As long as the main base unit is plugged into the OOMA the other wireless units should work just fine. They go over this in the instructions included in the box.

Yes. I have a cordless phone with 4 handsets and a built-in answering machine. I shut off the answering machine on the cordless phone base. I plugged in the base to the Ooma and an electrical outlet. I plugged the additional handsets into electrical outlets throughout the house. When a message is left on the Ooma, all of the handsets and the base have a blinking voicemail indicator that I have a message.

Yes, I have the same, 1 line Panasonic cordless with 3 handsets. It will all work with Ooma.

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 accessed the owner's manual online and it said, "Expanding Your Phone-��Your base supports a total of 12 cordless handsets, including any that camewith your phone.��You must register accessory handsets to the base before using them. Handsetsthat aren't registered display a "not registered" message. For registrationinstructions, see page 23 or the accessory handset manual

I really don't know if other type Panasonic handsets can be hooked up to this. We didn't try.It does come with 4 separate handsets. 3 stand alone ones and the one sitting in the base station for a total of 4.Not sure if that satisfies your need for 4 or you really need 5. Also, should be able to order an extra handset here on Amazon for this phone system. If not, check other sites. When we bought this phone system, we were able to find the separate handsets here and ordered 2 extra for ourselves.Description: Panasonic KXTGA950B Dect_6.0 1-Handset 2-Line Landline TelephoneLink: Panasonic KXTGA950B Dect_6.0 2 Line Extra Handset for KX-TG95XX Series Telephones I really don't know if other type Panasonic handsets can be hooked up to this.

I have a landline and I linked my Panasonic phone to two different mobile phones. I set the Panasonic phone to have a different ring for each of them. I also could dial out on either mobile phone through the Panasonic phone, and I could transfer a call from either mobile phone to the Panasonic phone and back again w/o dropping the call. The only thing I could not do was to transfer a landline call to one of the mobile phones. The only major quirk is that when answering a mobile call there is a short delay before you can talk. The delay is about 2 seconds.

You shouldn't have to pay for your landline any longer. Just use OOMA and your internet connection. That's the whole point.

I also have a satellite and nothing is required. they all work off the main phone that is plugged into the ooma device. Good luck and God Bless.

Yes, you have multiple ways to accomplish it. You can plug a standard, cordless base station into the Telo and have multiple cordless extensions. You can buy Ooma HD2 cordless phones, but the max is four. Or, if you have existing phone wiring, you can disconnect the outside phone line first, and then back feed your phone jacks by plugging the Telo into a phone jack. If you have DSL internet, you will need to separate the DSL line. Standard corded phones will work. Ooma also has optional Linx wireless phone jacks.

Panasonic phones can expand up to 6 handsets. So the answer to your question; 2 handsets should work.

I don't know. I only have one line. However, the extra handset I bought seems to work interchangeably with all the other handsets. It just seems to be one more on the common circuit.

You can buy an additional handset at Amazon, they work fine. Distance from main may be over 150 feet. The base is good for two handset and two different numbers.However you can use only one handset at the same time, they also work like an intercom

as far as I know there is no way to back feed the wiring in the house to make old landlines work. You can order extra handsets as I did and strategically placed them wherever you need to.

You would need to use 1 or more splitters and/or connectors the Ooma office line on your 2 line phone. (which I have done) I used a Line 1 Line 2 splitter to feed Ooma and another line in.

Check with your phone company! The law say they must port your number but not all companies can! Ooma has to have phone company "partner". In some areas there seem to be smaller regional or sub regional carriers that don't partner with Ooma. I''m not sure exactly how this works or what proportion of numbers can't be ported but it is difficult to give up a number you've had for 30- 40 years!!

I had to buy another handset, mine worked. You have to use the locator on the base unit and it will find the extra handsets.

Not sure sir. I only have the one base with 5 phones included. I just plugged this extra on in and it synced to the main base and works all features just fine. I can check my voice mails and all with this one added to the 5 phone answering system I have. Hope this helped you!!!

If you need the landline port in the back for your landline, then this unit will not serve your purposes, if you have an Ooma device, or a Basic Talk device, or a Magic Jack, or some other device to extract voice from the modem, it should be just fine. But if you are getting your voice directly from the modem, then you will need the phone port in the back of the modem. The model DCM 424 has the port in the back of it and sells for somewhere around $35.00. I'm with Time Warner and that is the model I have and it works very well. But check with your provider and see what units are compatible with their system. If you are comfortable on the computer, you can go to their website and find that out. But again, if you do not have some other phone device that will connect to the modem to get voice, then do not buy this unit, because you will need one with a phone port on the back of it.
