Can you add additional handsets?

I made a mistake when I ordered this. I thought I was ordering a regular phone, not the extension thing. I never did get around to returning it and finally just gave it to charity. BUT I did just buy from Radio Shack an AT&T; phone just like this on sale and it did have the extension one attached. It was reduced from about 60 dollars to 30 dollars so a good deal. I suggest you call Radio Shack and ask and then you can order it from Amazon depending on their answer.

S K - Yes! TL88002 is the compatible accessory handset. Your base can have a max. of 12 cordless handsets. Thanks!

this *is* the additional handset. this is not the base phone that you add to. so do not buy this one as your first unit. get the base unit first and add these on as you need.

I am not sure, I purchased the base phone and two handsets so you probably can. It is hard to find good phones anyway there are OK.

Here is what the manual says: "You can expand your phone system by registering optional handsets (6 maximum) to a single handset." Hope this helps. We have not added any additional handsets, 2 came with the unit. We have been very happy with this unit.

Sorry but I don't know. My set had four handsets which was sufficient for my use. I would speculate that it would but that is pure speculation.

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. I currently have 5 handsets connected and they all work fine. The only thing they do not do is if you save a number on one handset it does not save it on all of them.

Barb, as I understood this at the time of purchase, yes you could expand the unit to as many as you would like. I have had this phone for about a year, maybe longer, it works good and the answerer is reliable. Believe you would like it also. When you order just include the number needed.

Yes, buy them from ebay or elsewhere. You may need to search internet for instructions to register more handset though. The maximum for number of handsets is limited to six.

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

Dr. D. - Your EL51209 is not expandable. Handsets cannot be added. Look at the current edition: EL51203, which has 2 handsets. You can add up to three more; accessory handset model EL50003. Thanks!

Not to my knowledge. It's a corded phone, so without a wireless to serve it I don't know how you could buy an additional handset without buying another phone.

Panasonic phones can expand up to 6 handsets. So the answer to your question; 2 handsets should work.

Yes. You can add up to five additional telephones to the base station. Caution: The DECT CP1 can only be used with Phonak hearing aids through the Quest (Q) series. The new Venture (V) series requires different technology found in the new, DECT II telephones and other "II" accessories.

This phone comes with 3 handsets - 1 for the main phone base and 2 additional handsets with a base to charge.

I just want to add my interest for additional handsets as well. The product as-is is great but we need at least 2 handsets.

Yes, you can. We actually have a total of 5 handheld phones on the system. You have to MAKE SURE you get handsets that are compatible with your base unit - not all models work. Each handset is given a number when you set them up and because of this, you can use the intercom to call all units, or just specific ones. My husband's home office has the #5 unit so when I want him I page only his handset. I know there is a limit as to how many additional handsets you can add, but I'm not sure what it is. If it's wasn't for the Blutooth headset issue, I'd give it a 5 star rating.

No, not for this one, if you need additional handsets you have to purchase a different model that comes with extra handsets.You can only link the number of cell phones to the number of handsets you have or "connect & disconnect" cell phones that will be linked to the handsets

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