I would like to connect a phone in one port and a caller ID unit FOR that phone in the other port? Does anyone know if that will work? Thank you!

Yes - this should work just fine and has the advantage of making the phone and ID unit independent of each other. Of course many id units have an input to connect the phone line and an output to connect the phone -thus everything is inline. That may work for you as well (instead of using this extra connector).

Well, I don't know about a caller id, but another phone or computer modem works in the other port so it logically indicates a caller id unit would..

Yes. You can do 'in line' connection. Connect the line to SENTRY, then connect SENTRY to phone. The downside is your phone will not show the caller id info.

Yes, I recently successfully added a Uniden handset to my RadioShack phone system. The bases, however, do not link up. So while you can call all handsets registered to the same base, you cannot 'call' an additional base, or handsets registered to that base. Handsets can also be deregistered by following the instructions at their website so you can register them to the base of your choice.

you can pair it with as many phones as you want but whichever phone you use to answer or make a call is the dominant. it will not split signals between phones.

When you have the base paired with one or two cell phones through blue tooth, and connected to a land line, you can answer a call or make another call while on any other phone without putting any call on hold. The only restriction is you must use a different handset. So you can actually or virtually use multi lines at the same time.

If you take a look at this document, it appears you can, but I'm not guaranteeing it. Take a look. I think you can add a number of them, but only one can communicate at a time. As a note, these are very high quality units. Here's the document if it will show OK on Amazon. http://www.leedan.com/AIPHONE%20C-123LW%20Wiring.pdf

I didn't see that posted in the description, but I just so happen to have two phones to try it on. It would only connect to one phone at a time not both. Hope that helps.

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

Think of it as a replacement handset. If two people could be on the same line were the headset not installed through using an extension or conference calling; then yes, otherwise no. The unit has no capability to add another person to the call.

I have 2 phones paired to this device, feeding into one receiver. I switch between them all the time. I have never tried to run both at once, I don't know how it would react.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

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, or this can be configured as a different number, all analog phones that are connected (say you plug it into the normal phone jack for your home and have 2 other phones (powered or with a total REN of <5... powered via power adapter, are normally a ren of .5 or less) but all these phones will share the same line (someone could pick up another ext and hear the conversation in progress)

It can run 4 services over 1 device by sharing. It allows each of these services to ring through the same phone. To call out, you actually use a specific dial code to tell the OBi200 which service you want to use to make the call. If you want 4 lines, you'll need to get a 4 port adapter like the OBi504vs although it's probably overkill for a small setup. You can also just buy 4 OBi100 devices and connect one to each phone. Lastly, OBITalk makes VOiP phones that support multiple lines like the OBi1032 and the OBi1062. If you go with one of these phones, you can skip buying any of the OBi adapters altogether.

I've tried to get it to work that way but have had no luck. I've found that it will only have contact to only one device at a time. I found its easier to get a weather proof Bluetooth speaker i bought at my T-Moble store and connect that to my wife's phone for our favorite stored music. That way we can still connect our intercom and talk to each other. The only draw back is if my wife get a call it comes over the speaker.

Can you port phone numbers? I currently use Vonage and would like to switch to Obi110. However, I really would like to keep my current Vonage phone number. Possible? Thanks for input!

I think you can. I don't. But when someone is on the phone another person can make and receive calls to the same number. It's pretty cool. I hope this answer helps :)
