I have a base and satellite base for a DS6511-2. Lost one handset/dog got it? Will this work as just a land-line phone, even though the DS6511 handles cells also??

It is a land line phone that uses Bluetooth to connect to your cells.You can purchase another phone to replace the one the dog ate. The base will support up to 6 extensions. I just bought 3 extensions for my house for a total of 5.

Yes, I don't see why not. If you don't have a Bluetooth on and added to your system it should send and receive calls like a normal phone.

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.

One here says only the base will work, another says only the handsets will work during a power outtage because the base has no battery but the handsets do. I don't understand how the handsets could work without the master control base working? From reviewers I learned to call my Comcast cable telephone service to learn it won't work in a power outtage unless the cable modem/router has a backup battery. I was told the one we rent from them can receive one we can purchase from them they said lasts 8-10 hours during a power outtage & automatically recharges in the modem/router when power is on.

Yes, this is a two line handset compatible with several models. Please provide us with the full model number of your main base so we can provide you a complete compatibility answer.

The ringer has two jacks. One is marked "line" and is connected to the input line, and the other os marked "tel" and is connected to my input base phone. There is no option for any other connection. My cell phone base has no output that I could send to the ringer.

Best to ask them.... we only provide hardware. You should really call the carrier/service provider to see if this unit will work on their network.

I have 4 of the handsets. One right next to my desktop PC one in the basement and the other two scattered around the house (they move!) I have used mine while on mt Toshiba Laptop with no problem either. Can you swap handsets? You must have at least two... See if it follows the handset. Otherwise I say return it as the other responder said

This would be very dissappointing (and a rather stupid move on Linksys' part). Netgear has long had additional handsets available for their similar (internally identical) phone. Anyone evaluating these 2 phones should take this news as a reason to drop the CIT400 from the running. I have 2 CIT400's - one for each house and they work great - at one stage I had the 2 handsets linked to one base station and that worked fine. I have bought the Netgear phone with it's extra handset and should receive it in a few days. If it works out OK then I think I will buy another 1-2 handsets for the netgear and use the 2 CIT400 handsets in the other house (and have a spare base station).

The box feature lists/confirms that the phone base unit WILL work with just land-line power. The wireless handset will not work, and most base unit extra features also will not work (eg caller ID). As long as the land line phone company lines are working, the base unit will let you make and receive calls during a power outage. it's one of the reasons we were glad to buy this since it means we won't have to change the phone out to a trimline etc in a power-off situation.

Mike - There's a possibility the two DS6101s make have been previously registered to a different base. Call tech support @ 1-800-595-9511 for assistance.

all I could ever find was for six. Also, it seems that the specs on the handsets are continually being updated and changed. It was hard to find matching handsets. Therefore, I just bout two bases each with six handsets. I plug in both bases and connect both to the single phone line. On one, I turn off the answer feature. All of the handsets work.

If you buy a cordless phone with multiple handsets that connect to the main base like the one on this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007ST9P5W/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?qid=1430778364&sr;=8-12π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords;=cordless+phone+with+multiple+handsets so yes it works with more than one phone but the signal comes from the primary base and has the same number on all handsets. I Hope this helps

If the base station phone is working, then I'd suggest unplugging the base station and putting it in another phone jack in the house. The only time I've gotten that display was when my FIOS line was accidentally cut. It just sounds like the base station isn't communicating with the handsets. I have two different cordless base stations in my house, and haven't had a problem, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

Not sure sir. I only have the one base with 5 phones included. I just plugged this extra on in and it synced to the main base and works all features just fine. I can check my voice mails and all with this one added to the 5 phone answering system I have. Hope this helped you!!!

Just get a replacement handset for that model base station and it should work. Staples or Office Depot should have them.

We have not had an outage since I have owned this, but since it is a land-line phone I assume the phone will work on the old type phone lines, but maybe not the answering unit. (This is why some keep a landline phone for another kind of security.) I am definitely not a techie so double check this.

It is the Vtech, It is named as an AT&T; product but I think that is not relevant. I use several of these with a DS6511-2 system my phone provider is not AT&T; and I have not had any issue.
