We only have one line, but have 4 phones. My husband is deaf so he uses the CapTel, I use the others. One very nice feature with this phone is that my husband can talk on the CapTel and I can pick up the extension. Everything I say, as well as the other callers words, is put up on his screen.

While I cannot answer your question regarding VOIP, I can tell you that had my housekeeper not thrown the box out for this phone I would have returned it. When I dial a number, more times than not I get a recording that the number cannot be completed as dialed. However, if I then push Redial, the number is picked up as I originally put it in. I would not recommend this phone.

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

Yes, I use a high quality AT&T; cordless headset. I searched far for it because I couldn't hear well enough on most other headsets. Works fine but sort of a pain because it's really 2 phones but 1 dealer. Worth it to me for the quality hearing.

That would be up to the phone itself. Headsets do not have a way of selecting lines - they either sit between the base and the handset or interface directly with the telephone itself. You would need to check with your phone system's documentation to see how it supports headsets, and what you need to do to use one (eg, get a lifter). If your phone system was made within the last several years, it should work fine. If it's older, there may be some hoops you need to jump through.

this will not work with a cordless phone. A Panasonic amplified phone works well as a cordless. Best regards

I'm not an expert but it looks to me that you would need a second unit to handle the second line. It works very, very well. Haven't had any calls ring my phone that I didn't want to answer. Does block caller ID but who cares now.

I use the two line phone. One line is AT&T; Uverse VoIP and the other is a Vonage line.

If you are on the system phones, only one person can be on that line. However, if you have other phones not on the system with the same line, then two of you can be. If the call is for person A and person B answers it, put on hold and answer on other line. Reading the other messages, I didn't see the conference button. Good advice. I read about the speaker phone issues and I haven't had a problem with that.

Does anyone know how to make the answering machine work for line 2 when I am talking on line 1? I have two phone lines connected to it and I can't seem to get that to happen. It just rings and rings.

I have the same question. I love my cordless phones, but am tired of paying 50 bucks a month for very few calls. Would love to plug into my computer to make calls over the internet while talking through my cordless set.

No, the phone itself is a single-line phone, not two-line. Typically, two-line phones offer what they call a "conference" feature whereby you could patch in a third party to the initial or current call with the second party. Also, any phone will do 3-way calling if you have 3-way calling service via your provider (telephone company). Generally, the telephone company will charge you for this service and/or they offer 3-way service as part of a customized services package. So, technically speaking, you could still use this cordless phone provided you have the 3-way service implemented by your telephone company. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

One of the cordless phone bases is connected to your telephone line . You'd connect the answering machine there

Hi in answer to your question you can use both. I have four cordless phones counting my base phone, plus the Ooma handset. They all work well. Plus the second line can be used on all phones. I initially had a problem with making a call on the second line to Canada while a conversation was taking place to Canada on line one. I contacted support on chat and the problem was quickly resolved.

You can plug two different phone lines (different numbers) into the same phone and be able to answer either number using the same phone. You can also conference the two lines together. I use one in my home office so I can answer my office or home phone fro the same unit.

You can use any cordless or wired phone. The product works flawlessly. and has renewed my faith in AT&T.;

We use 3 lines with 6 handsets....any line from any phone works great. (We like the phone system a lot...but do have issues with the answering system so we use a different answering system.)
