Can you talk on 2+ handsets at once? We both like to be on the line when kids/parents call & some phones seem not to allow this.

Yes. We talk to our families that way all the time. Just push the "Talk" button on any extra phone to join the conversation.
265779
Yes. We answer one one handset, and if we then pick up a second phone we are automatically conferences in.

Yes, this unit will allow more than 1 handset to be used on the same call. Full details surrounding this unit's Call Share and Conference calls can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/opermanpdf/KXTGE260-MUL.pdf#page=24

Yes. We talk on two of them all the time. I'm not sure if you can talk on more than two at once.

Yes you can talk on two phones at the same time but we often use the speaker function. These are the best phones I've ever had. I would buy them again in a second. Far exceeded my expectations.

yes you can, you just go to menu and select initial settings, scroll to talking caller id and push select, then select either on or off. you can have one on and the others off, its up to you on a per handset basis. It really is a nice phone and it goes all the way to my neighbors;(we live in a trailer park) without crackeling or any type of distortion. :) hope this helped!

Yes, you can plug in two phones at the same time. My wife and I plug both of our iPhones into either port on this device all the time when we travel.

Yes, that has been my experience so far. The land line seems to be the key. The separate handsets can link to outgoing calls on separate Bluetooth links; however, only one land line connection and one Bluetooth at the same time is possible. That is a combination of two separate lines at the same time.

Yes you can have multiple phones. I used cheap cordless phones from Target. They came in a set of 2. I think the brand was Uniden. I got the kind without the answering system since Ooma has voicemail. Works great!

Make sure you turn off the talking option on every phone that is with the unit. I have the phone with the base and 4 additional hand units. I turned off the hand units but forgot to turn off the one connected to the base. It was very frustrating !!! So make sure ALL hand units are turned off.

Switching is as we imagine!! If you have 2 sims working (1 for voice / sms, 1 for data), you can receive calls from both carriers!! Even if you have an open call you can receive an incoming call from the other sim!! I have one for data and other for calls, but both receives calls!! When you want to call your phone system ask what sim to be used!! When you send sms, system also ask what sim to used!! I love this!!

You can only have two phones connected at once, and it gives you the option of selecting number 1 or 2. You have to know/remember which is which. I rarely dial out on cell from these phones, but often will answer using them. It works great, but the cell phone needs to be relatively close to the base (15-20 feet). I keep mine on a charger about 5 feet away.

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.

Yes, you can have two bases with the same two lines. I have two bases and four handsets. You can only link the handsets to one of the bases (which is all that is really necessary). I'm not sure how having two answering machines work as I don't use that feature.

When you have a call on one handset, all anyone has to do to join the conversation is just pick up any other handset and hit the talk button. Then they can hear and talk to everyone else in the conversation. It's that simple.

Yes. You can be connected to the phone and still have intercom as long as you aren't listening to music or talking on the phone. Once you listen to music or answer the phone it blocks out the other person. You also can't have all three on intercom at the same time and they are a pain to switch back and forth.If you are just using 2 to talk back and forth they are great, also the range on them is really far.

Me too. I have five cell phones in my house and two of them are mine. One for personal and the other for work. I was able to pair up my personal phone and set my business cell to forward to my personal phone so I in effect now have three (including the hubbies) setup on this system. I guess the kids will have to manage on their own. We don't have a land line. I'm surprised there are not more of these device. I hate it when my cell is downstairs and I'm upstairs. If I hear the phone, I make the mad dash.

This bluetooth could be connected with 2 phones on line at same time. You can place one phone on hold when you answer the other phone. However, I think you mean your phone could support 2 line at same time (1 phone for 2 line). If so, it's none of business with the bluetooth about this function. Hope my answer could help you.

You can connect one phone at a time. If there are two phones with Bluetooth in the car it will connect to the first phone it happens to see. For example, if it sees my phone first it will not drop the connection and reconnect to my wife's phone if she gets an incoming call. To get that to work I would need to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and wait for it to attach to her phone. Then it may attach to her phone. As far as I can tell there is no 'prioritization' scheme for it to connect to more than one phone in response to events like the phone ringing or to select a preferred phone for outgoing telephone calls.

I don't see any reason the two bases can't be used with the same two lines; however, I'd imagine each of the handsets can only be linked to work with only one of the two bases not both at the same time.
