Is it possible to use the landline and voip at the "same time"? For example.. I make a call using the landline., then hang up and call using VOIP?

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default. Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

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!!

I have a landline and I linked my Panasonic phone to two different mobile phones. I set the Panasonic phone to have a different ring for each of them. I also could dial out on either mobile phone through the Panasonic phone, and I could transfer a call from either mobile phone to the Panasonic phone and back again w/o dropping the call. The only thing I could not do was to transfer a landline call to one of the mobile phones. The only major quirk is that when answering a mobile call there is a short delay before you can talk. The delay is about 2 seconds.

Hi Sr.Milind, DIAL # before a number to make your call using your landline. DIAL ** before a number to make your call using Skype. See all instructions in config web page. More answer? I help u!

I don't see why it wouldn't work, other than Nettalk is a little glitchy (used it for a year...some dropped calls, often garbled voices). This glitchiness could pose a problem. You'll want to connect the Nettalk to all your phone cable in the house rather than just one phone. I switched to ooma which is bit more pricey, but every bit as stable and clear as a landline. I'd recommend this. With all Voip, if the power goes out, so does your phone.

Sorry, J.M. I have not heard of such a thing. All the Skype solutions I have read about are either just a handset you plug into your computer or are a full-blown computer replacement with handset like the VOIP841. They all have a handset. But I will suggest this.... You said you are "looking at switching to Skype". If you have not yet switched to Skype, I strongly recommend downloading Skype software for free to your computer and getting used to it that way before you get a standalone Skype device. There are a lot of strong features and icons and ways to do things that are unique to Skype, and using Skype on a computer will get you used to it. The Skype built into dedicated devices is a shorthand of the Skype icons and feature set, and it really helps to be Skype-savvy with the computer version before you go to a dedicated device. Just my opinion. For example, I have a SkypeIn number which rings in my Skype phone, and I only give out one number to everybody, instead of giving out a cell number, office number, home number. When I am at home I answer calls on my Skype phone. When I am away I answer calls on my cell phone to the same number, and all I do is change my Skype setting to "offline" in my Skype phone. Easy and great way to go. If you don't know about Skype, you don't know that you can change your setting to: Online, Skype Me, Offline, Away, Unavailable, Do Not Disturb, Invisible, and perhaps one or two others. When other people look me up in their Skype (computer or phone) they see my status set to one of these icons. Nothing like this is available with MagicJack or any other VOIP solution that I know of. So download Skype and get used to it first. ;-)

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.

I use a separate wireless phone just for skype. I found one at Walmart for $5.00. I plugged in to FreeTalk, then FreeTalk into my router and started making calls. Once Skype recognized FreeTalk, then my cheap phone, it works just like a regular land line. I haven't had any problems using FreeTalk with a separate cheap wireless phone. I never tried using FreeTalk with just 1 land line phone.

Yes, you can do a kind of conference call with multiple people in the home on the same phone call. What you cannot do is call 2 different numbers at the same time because it is all hooked into 1 phone number.

Hi! You can hook up the BASE of this phone to a regular land line (with normal telephone jack), and then the VOIP841 handset can be used to make normal landline calls. You can switch between land line and Skype Internet calling.If you are asking if you can use another cordless phone with this product instead of the supplied cordless phone, the answer is NO.If you are already subscribing to caller ID on your landline service, then YES this phone will show you the caller ID. But not if you are not subscribing to caller ID.

You can have only 1 line active while talking and put other lines in hold. You can also merge multiple calls from different lines in 1 single call. This phone support up to 5 lines.

Yes but not simultaneously (obviously). Say your speaking to someone on a land line call and someone else calls in on the cell line, you can't just "flash" over to the new call, you have to put the first caller on "Hold" (there's a button for that) then answer the cell call. Then if you want to switch back over to the land line call you will have to put the cell call on "Hold" the switch back over to the land line call. It's not difficult, you just have to remember that you can't flash back and forth between callers. You need to remember to use the "Hold" button otherwise you will hang up on one of your callers. Hope this helps. Yes but not simultaneously (obviously).

Yes in our office we use VOIP phones with multiple lines and the phone works great. I have also used it in one of our outstation locations with just two lines and it worked great.

ACTUALLY, NO! You could use VoIP instead of a landline. Get an OBI box, compatible with Google Voice (create an account and get a phone number in your area code) and connect to your phone and then to your router. Turns a landline phone into a VoIP phone and uses your ethernet router to place calls. No landline required.

While I cannot answer your question regarding VOIP, I can tell you that had my housekeeper not thrown the box out for this phone I would have returned it. When I dial a number, more times than not I get a recording that the number cannot be completed as dialed. However, if I then push Redial, the number is picked up as I originally put it in. I would not recommend this phone.

I have bought several of these and none have come pre-configured with a land line. They are very configurable for various VOIP services. We have our own Head end VOIP co-managed service through our local phone provider which makes it easier to get phone extensions since we have a designated block of numbers made available to us. I don't recall the name but there is a VIOP service provider that advertises on TV that appears to be using the same device.

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.
