Can this system handle two simultaneous calls on different lines from different handsets?

Absolutely. This is a super system and we regularly have separate calls at the same time on different handsets. Both lines can work at once perfectly well.

Dale, I bought this after another system broke which I replaced. Then I ordered another and the ringtones were like annoying Disney tunes (and I like Disney). You can assign different regular sounding rings to each line. This helps us. There are so few two-line systems available. This one is fabulous!!!!! We also covered it with Square Trade which paid for our first system that croaked.

Yes. You can even have a call going on one handset on Cell 1, another on Cell 2, and a third on the landline. It's very versatile.

Yes, you can do a kind of conference call with multiple people in the home on the same phone call. What you cannot do is call 2 different numbers at the same time because it is all hooked into 1 phone number.

Yes you can transfer calls between handsets directly, or you can put the call on hold, dial another handset, announce the call, and have them press the line on hold. Great phone system in my opinion, with 2 things that could be better. The quality of the music on hold feature is terrible, and the display screens blank out if the phone is dropped, although the phone remains completely functional.

It doesn't seem to limit this. I've had 3 handsets active on a single call before.

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.

Yes, you can have two bases with the same two lines. I have two bases and four handsets. You can only link the handsets to one of the bases (which is all that is really necessary). I'm not sure how having two answering machines work as I don't use that feature.

Yes works with 2 separates phone lines and users can have conversation at same time...

It can support more than one line. It all depends on the phone with which it is configured. More information is needed to give you a definitive answer.

You can have two different numbers with the Same service provider or two different providers as long as the second is GSM compatable. ie AT&T;, T-Mobile,

To the best of my knowledge, no. I purchased this to use two phones on one line.

only if you were to both have separate phone numbers and separate base units with each listed as each others 1st call but you would not be able to talk for long as pressing 5 stops the rotation and neither would have a hand set to do this. The simple answer is no.

I do not see why you couldn't use two units. The downside would be that if you receive an alarm, you will not know which unit is calling you, unless you program each unit to call different phone numbers.

I can use two at once but haven't tried to use all 5 at once. Two work just fine during a call. I'd suspect all 5 will as well but can't say with certainty.

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.

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, that has been my experience so far. The land line seems to be the key. The separate handsets can link to outgoing calls on separate Bluetooth links; however, only one land line connection and one Bluetooth at the same time is possible. That is a combination of two separate lines at the same time.
