It should, since it's just regular phone. As long as you have extra phone jacks anywhere in the house - it should work just the same.

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no.It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.

One unit will regulate the calls for the whole house. Please see my answer, "How to display caller ID on your phones with this device, December 30, 2013" for details on how to hook it up.

It can be used for either one if you are using the correct digital modem. If the modem has a jack with the same standard line connector for a house phone, you are good to go, but the digital features will be limited as the phone was built for analog lines. Hope this helps!

Yes you have to run physical wire to each extension. Extensions depend on what you order - I think this unit comes out of the box with 8 phones and the capability to expand to 16

You don't have to use the extensions, if you don't want to. Yes you can use it as your primary land line.

I have three extension phones. Yes it works on all three with one box. You hook into router, not computer. Very easy.

any. there's even a way to forward to your cell if the 'home' line is unanswerable. you can ring a second line simultaneously, even if it's off premise. the customer service at phone power should be able to answer any of your questions in great detail.

Me too. I have five cell phones in my house and two of them are mine. One for personal and the other for work. I was able to pair up my personal phone and set my business cell to forward to my personal phone so I in effect now have three (including the hubbies) setup on this system. I guess the kids will have to manage on their own. We don't have a land line. I'm surprised there are not more of these device. I hate it when my cell is downstairs and I'm upstairs. If I hear the phone, I make the mad dash.

This is a one line phone. That said - I do not recommend this phone. If you have any hearing problems, however slight, the phone is difficult to hear. You can not clone telephone numbers from one extension to another. there are just so many drawback to this phone and it is not inexpensive. - John

According to the documentation, yes. You can use more than one to extend in a big house/building. Just place your router somewhere where the signal can be picked up by the extender.

You're not likely to improve phone reception by putting an extender in a basement. I got a powerline wi-fi network adapter (runs your network thru the power outlets to give you an Ethernet jack anywhere) and put this unit (which require an Ethernet cable connection) in a second-story room so that it had the best phone and GPS signal.

Yes it can be used as an additional extension. From what I've read you can add as many as you want. You could have one in each room. Just pair them to the one you have on your router.

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.

This is a iden phone. It is obsolete in all US carriers. It's only a paper wait or door stop. It can also be used as a hockey puke. If you have two you can use them as walkie talkies in short distance.

I bought this product because I thought the extension would work exactly like a phone jack so then I could plug my computer into it and save having to mess around with WIFI. Didn't work. Only good as a phone extension. I returned the product. It sounds like it would work for you if you just want dial tone in another location as long as it's not too far. Good Luck.

Yes you can.It extends whatever signal you give it.You can use you phone as a Hotspot and then give it more range with this. Your phone would then act as a modem or router, basically.
