When a call comes in, it does ring on all 6 of the units. I have never tried to answer a call from the base unit, only the handsets. And yes, I did get instructions.

Yes to all three questions. Excellent system. Shows time and date on all simultaneously, as well as all call info. I especially like the bluetooth ability to connect with your smartphone, and have it ring thru the handsets.

Mine came with instructions. I have never answered from the base. Now when the phone rings they all ring also when the answering machine answers it plays on all phone if you don't answer your call.

Yes, incoming calls to the cell phone linked to the phone ring at all of the handsets. The base is the same as the other handsets and will answer calls. There is a very complete set of instructions with the unit since there are many settings and features.

Yes you can answer from the base. Yes the bluetooth works but difficult to set up. Yes it comes with instruction. One of my remote bases never worked. All phone ring

Yes. Each handset comes with its own charging base. The handsets stay charged for many hours off the base and have at least two hours of talk-time. This is the best portable phone I've ever owned. I have a total of 5 handset to go with the one base set.

The base unit that I bought (came with 3 phones: 1 at the base station, 2 phone-only stations) does have a built-in answering machine. You can buy nearly the same system *without* an answering machine. The price difference was so little that we got ours with it. Note that this listing is for the additional phone-only station--requires a base station to work.

Like the others said, you also need the base unit. Ours came with two handsets, and I bought this extra handset unit so we'd have a total of 4 phones (the base unit - which is a phone/transmitter/data storage/etc) and three handsets which receive their signal from the base unit.

As I have just finished talking with technical support on 10-23-2015 please be aware that these range extenders do count as handset. Therefore if you already registered 6 handsets with your base unit, this unit will not register with your base unit. You can have a maximum combination of 6 units (including range extenders and handsets) registered at any one time to your base unit. Prior information in this thread is inaccurate or out of date.

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

All of the phones have a speaker on them. The base station also has a speaker Periodically when we call long distance to family we use the speaker on whichever phone we had used/answered so that we can have everyone in the room participate during the call. HTH

The phone lets me know who is calling. I don't think there is the option of a different ring for different callers. Maybe someone else can answer your 2nd question better than me. Also read more about what the technical information about the phone.

Thanks, Calvin.I just found the information you asked about in the Appendix section of your users manual on p. 59 in the top section heading, "Expanding your telephone system".The last line of this section states "This telephone system accommodates up to 12 handsets."I hope you found this helpful.Harold Hanley, Chicago, Il.

There is a SPEAKER function on the base unit and all of the handsets. The answering device can also be controlled from all the handsets including the base unit.

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

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.)

The base with up to 6 handsets available. Follow instrucions with programming - works well.

There are about 10 different ringtones to choose from. Some more annoying than others. I chose the more subtle rings. One for my cell phone, another for my home line so I know which phone is ringing. You can also adjust the volume of the rings. Hope this helps.
