Has anyone used a non-system phone with this set? We have a site which will be out of range (even with repeaters) and I'd like a phone there also.

You can plug a phone into a wall jack and that phone will work, but it wont tie into the AT&T system, as far as the hold, transfer, and conference

I had to buy another handset, mine worked. You have to use the locator on the base unit and it will find the extra handsets.

It is a VOIP phone, so you wouldn't be able to connect a regular phone line or "pots" line. You would need to have it connected to the Internet. I have personally replaced my landline with my VoIP phone line that I get through RingCentral, which is an AT&T; service.

Does anyone know if this system's autodialer would work over a cellular phone connection instead of a traditional landline connection? I would like to use the system in conjunction with a Phone Labs Dock-N-Talk cellphone docking station as a stand alone connection and not have it tied in to my home telephone system. It would add another level of security in that a cut of the home telephone line outside the house would not affect the system at all.

My wife and I spent a great deal of time studying the instructions and several hours setting the unit up. It did not work for me. Sent it back. Installed an ATT Microtel. Problem over. Good luck! Cannot recommend this product.

Hey Shaina, I'm very disappointed with this phone system. It is VERY slow in general, caller ID doesn't always show, the phone rings on the 2nd or 3rd ring from the callers end, if you want to use a headset - don't. It hangs up on callers frequently, especially if you're on the set it's paired with. I couldn't be more disappointed. I still have an older 2 line cordless that I hoped this would replace, but rely on it heavily using my new system as back up for it. I would return it and keep shopping. Please ask further is you want more details

Sorry, I have not heard that before, Otherwise, it works great! Perhaps you could go to your phone company for help. They were very helpful for us to set up ours. Good luck!

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

These are great little walkie talkies and I would highly recommend them but that's a pretty long distance away. I don't know of anything that has that type of distance on it. There are cell services that offer walkie talkie type comunication that you can talk directly without ringing that are nice and even some walkie talkie apps for some of the phones that let you talk directly without ringing the phone just like a walkie talkie. With the apps you have to have it installed on both phones to work. I use one of these apps at home when I'm working to see when dinner is ready or if I'm needed for something they work pretty good.

No, you can't. No capabilities at all (something I miss a lot from my last set). The speakerphone isn't bad, but not the same. I've been happy with this set (especially at $90), but I'm already looking at something new. I recommended it when first purchased (2012), but wouldn't now.

The phone suck and I had the same problem. The phone works on a Saturday 1G so it is impossible to download anything. Get another phone.

I have 4 of the handsets. One right next to my desktop PC one in the basement and the other two scattered around the house (they move!) I have used mine while on mt Toshiba Laptop with no problem either. Can you swap handsets? You must have at least two... See if it follows the handset. Otherwise I say return it as the other responder said

We have had our 3 handsets for over 5 years without a problem with any of the sets. I you still have the instruction manual, you might want to check the feature which allows you to block calls. We have never used that function and I do not have any idea how to activate or deactivate that feature. Are you able to receive calls from other land line phones still, and is it from all cell numbers, or just one specific number? Sorry that I cannot be of more help, but you might want to go to the Panasonic website and see if they may be of assistance. Loren

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.

Phone has to be charged after you install the batteries. Problem with the unit. I could not get the unit to work right if I was more than 10' from the base station. If you are using additional handset's I would advise buying something else. I had to return everything. I would get three beeps constantly telling me I was to far from the base. I was never more than 50' away, and in some cases less than 20'. I would look for something else.

I bought an extra handset from Amazon.com (search for CIT400H on amazon.com) - the phone works great. I see they are out of stock now on Amazon.Interestingly, the extra handset has iPhone on the back (from the whole bruhaha between Apple and CISCO/Linksys about who had the right to use the name iPhone).

I agree! I also use voicemail & wont be using the answerg machine on phn. I want a speakerphone on handset & base unit. Can additional handsets be purchased to expand the unit?
