can you record phone conversations with this phone? If not, can you point me to those cordless phones with answering systems that will? Also, the expandable feature up to 8 phones is important.

No you cannot record with this phone or any other cordless phones for that matter that I know of that sort of think went out in the 80's as the laws have changed there are still ways to get your task accomplished you just have to research it on the net.

You can drive yourself crazy with this. Don't listen to anyone that says you can't use 2, and still have 6 phones. I called Panasonic, because I couldn't get my 2nd extender registered. After them telling me a few things, they said I couldn't have 5 phones and 2 extenders. A previous answer to this question said you could. So, I fooled around myself, and got the 2nd extended working (not following their instructions). So, I can say... 2 extenders work, even with 5 phones. Panasonic support was not helpful. I could not find a way to e-mail them, and waited forever for phone support. Last year, I only had one extender. The second one seems to make a clearer signal. You can drive yourself crazy with this.

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.

I can't answer as I could not make it work with my answering system which has a base and three cordless phones.

do you mind me asking what system you bought that did NOT come with the answering system? i just hooked up to vonage, and i need something with lots(4) of handsets, but no answering machine. Any advice would be great! Thanks so Much!

I assume all your phones have the same phone number. Yes! It will record anything on the line, even if you pick an extension phone or if your answering machine pick up the call. That's actually the way I use it, making a permanent record of my incoming calls.

It's a voice over IP device. It can handle up to 5 cordless handsets plus the corded phone. It can handle at least 6 parallel conversations (plus presumably some conversations on hold). So if you made an analogy with a traditional pbx lines phone, this would be a 6 or 8 lines handset.

Yes the phones I have work well as independent speaker phones. When this system works, it's great, but Panasonic has issues. Their customer service is non existent. I have a problem with a charger base that didn't work and repeated efforts to sort it out with them have gone no where in a hurry. It will be a long time before I buy anything from them again.dg

We have cordless phones that all transmit from one base. The recorder is connected to the base unit and records calls coming in regardless of which phone we pick up on. I'm not sure if the same is true for corded phones who are not all connected through a single base. I hope this helps.

I have been using Vonage for several years. During that time I had multiple different cordless phones. All of them worked. I am currently using Uniden that replaced a Panasonic. I have had good experiences with every cordless system. Also I have used Fax machines on the Vonage line. Good luck.

This device will act just like a normal (external) voice recorder in your particular case. You don't have to plug it into your phone either. I have to admit that this recorder is very sensitive, so probably you will get good recording quality. But I wouldn't recommend it as voice recorder in phone mode - quality is not that good as one may expect.

Yes, I have 5 Panasonic cordless phones, and all show the name and number of who's calling....Very handy. You'll need to put the T-Locbetween the phone outlet and the base station.

We need to know the model of the base in order to answer your question. Many AT&T; cordless systems can be expanded with additional cordless handsets. Please provide your base model.

If by wireless phones you mean cell phones, I don't know how but it may still be possible, maybe even easily done. If by wireless you mean land line mobile phones like most of us have, yes you can simply plug the recorder into any phone jack and all conversations on that line would easily be recorded.

Hi Andrea, I bought 2 of these, because they brake a lot. You have to connect this to a recorder. After that you put the ear piece in your ear and turn on the recorder. After that you can answer the phone. The voice coming from the phone will be recorded at the ear piece. What you say will be recorded in the other microphone from the recorder. I don't know if there is any app for this. Be aware, this recorder from philips breaks very easily.

Not sure I understood your question correctly, sorry.If you have a VOIP provider, you would be able to attach up to two regular phones to it (two subscriptions, of course).

yes, you can record your"own" message(s)! and since you can record your own; whatever language you use will be replayed. music on hold comes with the unit. PS great unit I would highly recommend this to any business!! 7 stars out of 5 (better than having a local phone install for 1000's of dollars).
