Hi,
For anyone pretty sharp with cordless phone systems.
We have a several year old V-Tech cordless phone with the answering machine in the base. Has one handset, only, that sits in the base.
Hooked up to our land line phone.
Wife has medical issues, and is in love with the base unit's construction, sound quality, push button shape and size, etc. Doesn't want to part with it.
We now need a bunch of hansets all over the house. The V-Tech is very old now, and new handsets for it are not available.
So, what happens if I buy, e.g. one of the new Panasonic ones, that comes with 4 handsets, and also has the answering machine in the base.
What happens if I hook both systems up in parallel to the same line ?
An incoming call would trigger both system's handsets. True ?
If not answered, they both would record the call. True ?
If I pick up a handset on the new Panasonic system, the old V-Tech answering machine would (then) do nothing. True ?
Guess I'm asking your opinions if having both is practical, and what happens for the different incoming call scenerios before any purchasing.
Much thanks, Bob
