I would like to use them on the porch, driveway and deck. Is there a way to turn all of them on at once or only one at a time using the phone?

You can add them all to a scene and then turn that scene on or off with your cell phone, it is super easy!

Yes if you are using the Insteon hub you can tie them all together with scenes or schedules.

I know that I can activate 2 at once using the motion sensors. I use one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. The motion sensors at the top and the bottom of the stairs can activate both lights.

I would download the Insteon free app first. You can create a "sceen" to control multiple devices. Turn items off/on/dim schedule Etc in the app. If you have multiple lights currently controlled by one switch you can order an Insteon wall switch (on Amazon) for much less than replacing many bulbs. The system has endless possibilities and highly recommend Insteon. Lighting, security, cameras, door locks, thermostat. Hope this helps!

no you connect one and all of them will have a dial tone, can only be used for 1 line

I just looked in the user manual, but couldn't find anything about that question. I guess you can try and use as many as you want. I have a total of 4 right now, and they work just fine. If you connect all 6 of yours, and they work, then use them. I looked for a phone number to call, again no find.You might want to try their website and direct any questions to them. vtechphones.com They might have a FAQ on the subject.

Yes you can. That is how I have mine setup. Works great. I then use the phone app to control it when I'm on my deck (zone 2)

In my experience, each phone needs to be programmed separately. If you hear of a way to do it, please email me

Multiple people in the household can share in one "outside" conversation - one on each handset at the same time. You can't dial another number e. g., call a second party from a second handset while someone is talking on the first handset to the original party. You would have to have two separate telephone lines with two separate base telephone units - one connected to each of the two separate lines - in order to conduct two independent conversations at the same time. I hope I haven't created confusion!

No, but you can control them with your phone with a RF-to-WiFi hub like Hook (http://kck.st/1Ius6tS)

You can only charge 1 phone at a time. But the sound and range for the blue tooth are great.

You can't simultaneously but they can be used on multiple devices one at a time.

Yes. You can disable at each individual phone as well as the base unit. It's nice to disable, especially when you have company in the house, I do not like other people hearing who is calling.

I don't see why not. If you're simply turning them on/off once per day, that's normal usage.

I charged the 2-way phones as soon as I received them. I carged them all night. There is no programing. Turn the dial to 16 . I use thes phones for when I go outside with my dogs, go to the mail, etc. They work really great. You won't regret buying them. They are good if you are going camping or like I do. Then if anything goes wrong I can call my husband and let him know. A good system for your security.

I believe that you need to plug in one phone/answering machine and the rest can be cordless.

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!

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.

I would guess you could - especially since you can power off each one separately. But I haven't tried it myself.

By more than one phone, do you mean having two or more users in the same house use the handset independently? Yes, you can do that. As far as something like having two or more cell phones connected at the same time, that I don't know, and I am not able to test as the handset is 1400 miles from my location. Hope that helps.
