Yes. You only need to hooked up the base unit to the phone line. It works well.

actually, only the base need be connected to the telephone line! Tha handsets communicate with the base The smaller bases are only to keep the phones charged.

Yes just the answering machine/main base has to be hooked up to the phone line. All 3 base units each have an AC plug that has to be plugged into an outlet.

We have AT&T; and it works just fine. No additional service was required. Right now we have 3 phones running off one single phone jack. AT&T; told us if we have the modem wired directly to the main line then we can use all the different jacks in each office, then the phones can just plug into each individual jack.

Based on what I know after installing to my whole house phone wiring, I would have to say "NO". There would have to be two phone out connections and each would have to be dedicated in order for a two line system to work.

No. It only works on one phone on one line. I tried something similar in the past.

Does the phone line need to be hooked up to the port with the picture of the telephone or the one with the "L"?

No. Only into ac outlet. No phone jack is needed for a second phone. Only the main one with the answering machine.

You can always plug multiple items on one phone line. You can only use one at once. If you receive faxes, you just need to make sure only one is in answer mode.

Yes. Each base unit has to be plugged into a phone jack, but they can all be on the same line or number. We have three.

It does not need a phone line. It needs an Ethernet connection to your modem or router.

It is designed for one telephone line coming into your house. It connects to that one line by plugging into the wall jack. You can then connect two devises to the one line. I.E. a computer modem and a telephone or two telephones etc. Both cannot be used at the same time.

No, but you can switch over to another call if you have the call waiting phone plan if that is what you mean by 2 lines.

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.

If you have 2 separate land-lines from your phone company, you can make and receive calls on both lines from a single 2-line handset

If one line is in use it automatically rolls to the other line for incoming calls and if you just pick up the phone for an outgoing call. No phone company needed!

If your main wireless console is the only phone plugged into the phone jack on your wall and the other wireless phones receive the call without needing to be plugged into the wall, then yes you can use one TRICK on the main line. If you have the other wireless phones plugged into the wall jack, then you need one TRICK for each one that you want to control.

only the base phone has to be in a telephone jack. The satilites need only be plugged into an electric outlet.
