How do I initiate conference calls? Do I need both lines active to manage conference calls?

Peter. I believe once you have both lines with calls you can press the conference button and it should pull the second call into the conference. I must admit I don't use the feature. Should be easy to figure out if you try it with 2 friends on the lines. Paul

Thanks to everyone for the help on this. I am going to try the suggestions and see if that works. I'd really like to be able to do an outbound fax anytime and receive a fax by pressing the receive button.I fear that the fax picking up in the middle of the call may be due to using VOIP with Vonage as it will occasionally make a faxish noixe when a second call comes in. Will report back the results -- ping me on this list by adding a reply if I don't (i get an email on each reply).

I have the TCX905 extension phones....and yes, you can choose which line to place an outgoing call.

Hi there, you can link with those 2 devices, but only in one you can talk, o mean you can not have a conference joining those two device

Setup is very easy. You need a wall plug-in with power and a phone jack. All you do is plug everything in. Very simple. That room is pretty large but it should work okay as long as everyone isn't talking at once. Our conference room is about 15' x 35' and we have 7 people in the room with 3 others calling in and generally don't have any problems.

No, but you can switch over to another call if you have the call waiting phone plan if that is what you mean by 2 lines.

I find the speaker phone is OK as long as you don't set the volume at maximum. If you do, it distorts sound. I have not used the conference phone function.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

Yes, the phones automatically conference and multiple people in your household can talk to an outside caller at the same time. We do this often when family calls from out of town. You just push the talk button and you've joined the call too!

I don't believe so. There isn't a conference button so I don't see how she could call out, get the call to you and then drop off the line.

It doesn't automatically answer either one. If you press the line that is being used then both persons can talk to the outside line. If one line is in use it is shown on the display, so you can select the other line to place a call or the busy line to share in that conversation. Overall a fantastic phone.One cool thing is you can add a speed dial on any phone and it will show and can be used by all phones.

Yes, you can select the line you want to use to make a call on the remote phone and also they have speaker.

No both sims are active active. You can receive calls and txt simultaneously.

I've used both numbers without moving any of the settings. But I haven't used them at the same time, when I want to change from one number to another, I turn off the cell phone, open the back, change the chips and turn it on again. Hope it helped.

I tested this out via my 2-line system...i.e. I called my 2nd line from the 1st line as well as using the base unit's speaker phone...and we could both talk at the same time w/o any loss of communication. Perhaps communicating with other speakerphone brands the results may be different but via my Panasonic units we have no problem.

The way it is set up out of the box is that each handset is put on a different extension. Conferencing is something that is handled by your PBX server, so before you buy this you'll want to make sure that the service you're connecting to supports multiple users, and that there is a simple way to conference them together.
