Does anyone know how this system works if a non-system phone is also used on one of the lines? Does it cause problems?

Your question doesn't make sense. What is a non system phone? The phone has 4 line capability. We have 2 business lines and that ONE telephone cord plugs into the back and the one line splits to the other 2 lines. We also have a home line that plugs into the back and it works. Phone has 4 line capability and we use 3. We do have other regular single phones (home) plugged in around the house and it works fine with this phone

I have the same problem with a 4 phone system (KX-TGA931T). Shopping for new ones too.

I think you need the system to make the phone work as I tried to plug it in a regular phone line and it didn't power up! I would recommend getting in contact with X BLUE.

I also have a two line phone. Your working line is where you install the On/Off switch before the line enters the phone. I'm very pleased with the on off switch. It has stopped those annoying calls late at night.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am thinking of getting the unit and would like to set some handsets not to ring for the second line.

We had some problems like that too. We use OOMA as our carrier and it was a problem with the two devices. we turned off the features on the OOMA and all is okay now.

On my phone, the LINE 1 and/or LINE 2 buttons on the phone (below the display) are lit when someone else is on one of those lines on another phone. In fact, unlike other multi-line phones I've seen, this phone does not connect you to the in-use line when you pick it up, but rather gives you the unused line unless you specifically press the button for the in-use line.

This system works just like any regular phone with a VOIP system, as long as you have a VOIP router, to which you can hook up the phones. I myself use the Uniden model w/out the answering machine together with the Vonage service (Vonage provides voicemail, no need for an answering machine) without any trouble. Caller-ID works great.

Never tried it, but it's just like any other phone line, one can talk on one phone, someone else on another. Making a different call though I would say NO.

Does anyone know how to make the answering machine work for line 2 when I am talking on line 1? I have two phone lines connected to it and I can't seem to get that to happen. It just rings and rings.

These phones were replacements for my telephone system so I don't know if they work without the system. Even my jacks in the location ONLY work with systems phones. I do not use batteries with these phones. They must be wired thru the electrical system because when there is a power failure the phones don't work. (maybe just line 1, I believe)

I have my cell phone number programed into the system. If you are trying to get an attachment to use when your land line is unavailable I can't answer that question.

Plug the line from the phone base into one side and the line house line into the other. If it works it will give a signal back to all callers but only will computer systems (auto dialings) get and use the signal as a non-functional number. The one I ordered did not work. But I had one that did work for years. They do seem to fail after a lot of use.

Yes, that is no problem, It's like having two separate phones. There is an indicator that tells you when either line 1 or 2 is in use.

You can plug other cordless systems into this system and they do work. However, the clarity of the line cannot be guaranteed. Sometimes, my dad's line has lots of static and noise because he insists on have many cordless phones in his house without them all being this system. I would buy this system and any additional handsets from this system if it was for me. The system is great and I highly recommend it. The necklace has really been a lifesaver for my dad.

I thought this thing had an answering system, does it work as a stand alone? I gues I ordered the wrong phone. Anyone knows?????????????????r

It,s a little unclear what you are askng but maybe this will hyelp...I use vonage. I have the panasonic VM on and if i am NOT on phone and do not pick upo, it goes to the panasonic VM. If I have it turned off, and do not pick up, it goes to my Vonage VM. If I am on the phone, regardless of whet6her it is on or off, it goes to vonage and the message is left there. And I DO gave call waiting. Call waiting gives you the opportunity to pick up if you want. If I dont, it goes to Vonage
