If you have 4 phone lines and line 1 is being used, and a caller dials line 1, will it ring as line 2? (i.e., will it "hunt" for the available line?)

Yes, but only if you have purchased the line hunt feature from your telephone service provider. That functionality is controlled by the service provider, not by what phones you have plugged into the lines.

Michael - Hunt or Rollover features are not built into the system. Contact your service provider, as they likely can provide these features. Thanks!

It will do multiple lines. The range is great. The downside to the system is the instruction set. It may make sense to a traditional telco person but as far as easy to use, I could program a VCR for time easier.

Yes, like any other phone set. You put the caller on hold, intercom the other handset owner to pick up the line which was put on hold.

I'm not an expert but it looks to me that you would need a second unit to handle the second line. It works very, very well. Haven't had any calls ring my phone that I didn't want to answer. Does block caller ID but who cares now.

Each handset has a "line 1" and "line 2" key. In order to make a call or answer a call, you must select a line. If you select a line that is in use, of course it will interrupt the call in progress.

You can use the intercom button when you are not otherwise talking on the phone, just to buzz one of the other phones... it will ask which line you want to buzz. The ring sounds different so you know it is an intercom/house call. I hope this answers your question. :)

This model is a 2 line system and to use a fax just connect the fax to one of the lines wall jacks and have the fax answer on a shorter ring. For example we have the fax answering on line 2 with 1 ring. With the phone we basically just use line 2 for calling out when line 1 is in use. We also have our credit card machine on line 2 and everything works with no problems. Great little phone system, very happy with it.

Yes it will call a cell phone and if no one answers within a specific number of rings it will move to the next number listed.

In my experience, it does not show the caller ID of the 'call waiting' caller. In my opinion, that is only a small drawback of a system that has so many other advantages. I love this phone system. Best I ever had.

My wife's business has two separate lines to her computer shop. There is one line that is 807-345-1995 and a 2nd line, 807-345-9502. With this one telephone, you can choose to use line one or line two. It is an excellent phone for this reason. There are not that many phones that offer this feature.

No. You will interrupt line 1. You have to click line 2 to answer it if line one is being used.

My phone only rings when the calling party actually presses a 1 when asked by the machine. Otherwise, if the caller stays on the line, the call is routed to my answering machine. The phone never rings if the 1 is not pressed. There are some alternate settings that allow one to easily bypass the telebouncer and make the phone ring right away if that is needed. I have used that feature to accept calls from auto callers that I have asked to call my number and, when done, I reposition the telebouncer to the block telemarker position. We love this thing. Hope this helps.

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

Yes we can do 4 lines. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much. Lisa

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

Not sure. I know the number and sometimes the name of the caller comes up on a normal call but unsure about call waiting. I think so, but I don't use the phone very much. Usually talk on my cell. Sorry!
