Can the hand set be used as a speaker phone. And if yes, how is the sound quality? Thanks

Yes, the handset has a speaker phone feature. The sound is clear and fairly loud even though the speaker is on the back. The handset is curved so the speaker does not get muffled if you set the handset down. I can't speak to the quality on the other end except to say I've had no complaints.

Yes, the hand set can be used as a speaker phone. The sound quality is average. The hand set is very light weight.

Yes, it is a speaker phone as well. Actually works really well. Awesome speaker for the money.

Yes! We have three hand sets and we talk to our long distance relatives so all of us can hear from them in different rooms, using speaker phone or not, with different volumes for each handset. It's great for Grandpa, my Mom, and I to use it to talk to my sister all at the same time!

Yes the sound is of very good quality. I receive up to 30 calls a day, and occasional the volume was higher. That's because the customer on the other end is speaking to low or their volume is too low. Great phone for me.

Yes. If you set the Bluetooth settings on your phone to use the speaker for phone audio, as well as media audio, you can use it for calls as well. You will, however, have to speak into your phone microphone as you do when you set the phone on a speakerphone call.

There are adapters which will convert the plug from the headset to a phone. That said, it won't function as surround-sound and whatnot since that feature comes from the audio hardware in the base. You can use it will a phone though to make calls and whatnot.

Sorry I can't answer definitively. My guess is yes. It is like a regular phone handset. It is a great device. I just wanted to mention that. Sound quality is excellent.

yes -- and it also has speaker on each hand set. Great phone system for a pretty good price

Each hand unit can only be used when removed from its charging base. Then, each can be used as a speaker phone by pushing the "speaker" button (on the key pad just above the "1" button). Pushing this button again will turn off the speaker and return the phone to "normal" (non-speaker) operation.

I would assume so... If you plan on using it as a speaker phone at all ... Keep looking this one is awful :(

The hand set requires just an electric outlet. I would like to disclose that the volume is not sufficiently loud - I am 72 and my hearing is not what it used to be - I miss about 1/3 of the words,; it's very frustrating.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

No, but I think they make an android compatible set. Either way, you buy these for sound quality, not making phone calls.

Yes. The speakerphone works very well. Be prepared for listeners to hear EVERYTHING going on in the background when they are on speaker phone.

Unfortunately no speaker they have to hold handset. The volume does go very loud.

Yes, each handset provides speaker .... major reason for purchasing this product, I use it so I can multi-task.

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.
