Can more than one handset be in use at a time, like if my husband and I both wanted to talk to the caller at the same time?

If each of you has a handset, you can do a 3 way conversation with the same caller.

Yes, the phones automatically conference and multiple people in your household can talk to an outside caller at the same time. We do this often when family calls from out of town. You just push the talk button and you've joined the call too!

The information in manual states that you can use up to 4 handsets for a conversation. You can also just use one handset and use the speakerphone setting.

They all share an extension, however, on that line you can have up to 3 calls going at once, between the base and 2 handsets (assuming you have 2).

If I understand your question, the answer is yes. If a call comes in my husband can listen to the call on one handset while I listen on another without any dialing--we just each click on the #Talk" button

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.

I have had no luck with this. I called about it and was told no. So no, one device at a time. Sorry. A feature I am looking for as well.

Up to how many handset can talk at the same time?...We have 2 sons and they both love to join in the conversation with their grandmother in Florida every time we're on the phone.

I think you can not have two calls going at the same time, but you can put a call on hold on one sim to answer for a call in the other one. And you keep both sim actives all the time to receive calls

It can only be used with one or the other...not both at the same time on my Meridian Telephone (Astra). Hope this helps....

The head set is paired to the phone. So you can paired to as many phones as you wish. Talking with one at a time.

You can plug two different phone lines (different numbers) into the same phone and be able to answer either number using the same phone. You can also conference the two lines together. I use one in my home office so I can answer my office or home phone fro the same unit.

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.

Supposedly multiple calls can be handled. However, I have not had success in doing so. I have an iPhone that is finicky at best. Every time I try to hang up one call to return to another it hangs up both. Headset or phone? I don,t know.

I tested this out via my 2-line system...i.e. I called my 2nd line from the 1st line as well as using the base unit's speaker phone...and we could both talk at the same time w/o any loss of communication. Perhaps communicating with other speakerphone brands the results may be different but via my Panasonic units we have no problem.

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!

no you can use one at a time. but if you both at the same time it doesn't cut down on the efficient.
