Can you use this handset on its own, or do you need to purchase a "home base" separately?

You definitely need one home base, but can have several of these handsets/chargers throughout your home or office. It is the home base that receives the call via land line, has the voice-mail and transmits the signal to the several Vtech 6305 handsets. The handsets & their bases are not connected to the landline; the handset bases are only connected to electrical outlets so that when you put the handset in the base it will charge their batteries.

By the way, you can purchase a set which includes the home base and several handsets.

This is an extension charging base, and does not connect to the phone line. You have to have a base unit (several exist, with or without answering machines) and then can have up to 6 handsets (including the base station)

I think this handset is designed to work with an existing home base. My phone set-up consisted of the home base and three handsets when I purchased it about 4 years ago. I've since then added a room and another handset was needed for it. I was happy the hand sets for my old V-tech system was available. Connected it to my telephone network without a glitch.

We need to know the model of the base in order to answer your question. Many AT&T; cordless systems can be expanded with additional cordless handsets. Please provide your base model.

Not to my knowledge. It's a corded phone, so without a wireless to serve it I don't know how you could buy an additional handset without buying another phone.

Here is what the manual says: "You can expand your phone system by registering optional handsets (6 maximum) to a single handset." Hope this helps. We have not added any additional handsets, 2 came with the unit. We have been very happy with this unit.

NO you cannot.. You can just connect the base with a router and the phone would work without any computer..

The one I purchased was sold with the 3 extra handsets. I wanted 4. Guess you would have to see if they sell only the main unit. If not, I do remember ATT making one. Just type in single handset in search.

Yes...I lost a handset and ordered another one. I just put it into the base I already had. Now I have an extra base. Great phones!

not a replacement for the base. It's just an additional handset with it's own charger.

You only have the original base when you purchased the phone/s. This is an add on so you have more coverage in your home, in several rooms if needed.

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

To the best of my knowledge the handset is specifically designed with the matching handset and not any other type. I am not aware that they could be bought separately. If you have a different handset with it's own base, yes they will work together, but NOT INTERCHAGABLY.

Yes, but this is just an extension (Accessory Handset Only - requires TL88102 to operate ).You need the main base to use it and you can have the answering system in both lines.

Both the phone base and portable handset requires a connection to an electrical outlet, so the answer to your question is "no".

This phone is not a stand alone phone. It has a base phone from which it receives the phone info. If you purchase the base phone, you can order a headset that works with the base phone, just as these hand sets do.

Yes, you do need the base. However, this expensive phone system has not worked well for us. It has some sound quality issues on all three phones we purchased.

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...

i would not recommend this phone - first of alli am not an expert on this phone, but i would suspect you could have a second base, but it would have different extentions (handsets) tied to it. i am not sure if that makes sense.
