Can you use the Ooma handset in addition to your regular handsets or do you have to use one type or the other?

I use my Ooma handset in a bedroom and an old digital phone in the living room. All works fine together. No sweat.

You can use what you want. The Ooma handsets have the advantage that they discover the rest of Ooma wirelessly and they they are very well put together.

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.

Ooma has both a handset and a wireless linx VoIP box. One can plug the small linx box into an electric outlet anywhere in range in the house and then plug a normal telephone in the box. The linx also works well with ordinary wireless telephones and allows one to increase the range. One can use both Ooma handsets and Linx connections in the same system at the same time.

You can use both together just fine. Plug the regular phone or cordless base station into your Ooma base station, then place your Ooma HD2 wherever you'd like and pair it to the base station!Note that you can NOT, however, use the original Ooma handsets with the new Ooma HD2 handsets. The Ooma base station will only pair with one or the other.

You can combine the two. You may use your existing hard connected handset or wireless station connected as well.

I've used the HD2 handset along with a Panasonic DECT 6.0 system. The Panasonic base unit is wired into the Ooma base and communicates wirelessly to it's own handsets. The HD2 (obviously) communicates directly to the Ooma.

To be clear you can use regular handsets and the HD2. I think what the other person was talking about was that you can't use older Ooma handsets with the new HD2 but regular corded or non Ooma cordless phones work just fine with the HD2.

I only have two handsets and they can both be used on the same call.dinaleah

Yes. The handsets are all identical. Any of them can function on the main base. The only function of the auxiliary bases is to charge the batteries.

yes you can .. I have used it both ways but currently use it only for phoning and texting.

No, this would not be considered an "additional" handset and does need an actual phone line in. Hope that helps.

Just make sure that you unplug the wire in the telephone company interface box that comes from the telephone pole that use to supply your phone service so that it does not interfere with the Ooma Telo and the devices that you have connected now. Once you do this there should be no problems. Even if you no longer have phone service coming in from the pole, there can still be interference that will affect the Ooma and other devices you are trying to use.

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.)

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.

Yes you can. Press Menu -> Settings -> Handset Name. You will have to do this with each handset. Good luck!

No, they use different frequencies. I have both Panasonic phones and Ooma phones in my house. If the line is answered with the Panasonic, I can then pick it up with the Ooma, but not vice-versa. The very best feature the Ooma offers is the "blacklist" which you can use to stop annoying phone numbers from calling you. Once you get a call from a telemarketer, political call, collection agency, freaky ex, or anyone else you don't want to hear from, just go to the Ooma dashboard on line and two clicks later , you are done with that number.

I am using mine with my Ooma. All features seem to work fine. With only one line plugged in, the phone Line 2 light blinks constantly. To eliminate, I plugged both lines into the Ooma with a splitter. This solution did not confuse the phone software - all calls come in on Line 1. The Ooma does not need two lines to work its call-waiting feature, as the calls are held in the Ooma base. The call-waiting works as intended - a beep is heard when the second call comes in.

Yes you can, but be very diligent in your understanding of Ooma's charges, all of them; so that you are not surprised. We returned our equipment and do not have their service, their pricing structure and support did not work well for our needs.

This phone can use either the standard or micro Sim. The standard Sim is a little easier to install

You can use both, but not at the same time. There is a button that defines which you are using. When you press that button and the light comes on you are using the headset, hit the button again and you are using the handset.

I don't know. You can take the call on another handset, but I don't know about another phone.

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.

Yes, it appears you can only use 2 handsets at a time and the third must remain in the base unit. See pg 20 in the Operating Instructions.
