Cordless Phone Question

Posted by Mike Dobony on January 13, 2008, 9:32 am

This might be a bit off topic, but not sure where else to bring it. I
am looking at a multiple cordless phone(base unit with 2 extra hand
sets) to hook up to my VOIP phone line to have it throughout the
apartment. There are no phone wires through the apartment so I need
cordless through one land line. However, if I read one of the manuals
correctly I cannot use two phones at the same time, such as when my wife
and I want to be on the phone together in different rooms talking to
somebody. Is this true? Do you know of any multi handset phones that
will allow two handsets to be used at one time? Thanks.

these 3 from Vtech claim to allow you to "conference an outside call".

Many of the Panasonic 5.8 Ghz and Dect 6 phones have up to 4 way
conferenceing ability.

My Uniden system (5.8 GHz, supports 10 handsets) allows 4-way
conferencing.
