If I pair this to my cell phone using bluetooth, will I automatically have a dial-tone on the Vtech, even without a traditional landline?

Yes that is correct. Once you pair your cell to the base, you can use any handset to place a call on your cell by selecting Cell1 instead of Home on the keypad. You do not have a traditional dial tone but rather it is quiet while it dials using your cell. Hope this helps.

You will hear exactly what you hear on your cell. It never occurred to me but I don't think cells have a dial tone. You'll get the dial tone only if its also connected to a landline. But you won't hear it if you're accessing your cell.

nOT SURE WHAT UR ASKING but I can tell u I have my cell phone paired to my landline but I also pay for data use on my cell phone! But if ur asking if u can make calls from a cell phone by just pairing them I would want to say no. U have to also have landline service. Hope this helps.

You do NOT need a land line to use this system. We don't have a land line. You will see a message on the handsets (on the bottom of the display) that reads "Check tel line." Just ignore that. You can connect 2 blue-tooth cell phones.

I'm sorry that I really can't answer that. I returned the VTech phone and blue tooth before trying it out because the phone didn't have enough distance coverage.

No - This works with a landline phone using a standard telephone connection.

There are two call buttons: landline and bluetooth connected. When you dial out and use the bluetooth button, the phone displays the connected cell phones for you to choose from. If a connection is in use (landline or bluetooth connected cell), the other connections are disabled.

I don't know. I assume that that the caller id would work. I have another vtech phone without an answering machine. I still haven't hooked this up yet but I have to by next week as my present phone is dying.

Yes, I do not use the landline feature, just Skype. It works perfectly fine for me.

There is an intercom between the handsets and base unit.See also Vtech's website for more info at, http://www.vtechphones.com/products/product_detail/2359

No. It works without the landline. You can link the line with 2 cell phones. Works just like having a landline. Great sound quality. Definitely happy with my purchase.

I have two cell phones (different numbers) as well as my original land-line connected to this system. When the Bluetooth signal is within range (+/- 75 feet of the base) all calls, to all numbers, ring the handsets. Therefore you can pick up any incoming call for any number, from any phone, including your cell phones (assuming the call was for one of the cell phone numbers. Land-line calls are obviously not routed through your cellular device). As for outgoing calls, once again, you can either call from your land-line or call from either of the two cell phones with no special requirements. Just pick up your phone and dial. No "unpairing" required whatsoever. Oh, and any incoming text message for your cell phones causes the system to ring (a different ring versus the "regular" ring) and announce "text message". Handy but i assume you can turn off that feature if you don't want to hear it. Hope that answers your question.

You place the call from your cell phone and it automatically dials and you talk through the Bluetooth. I live this. It works great and holds a charge for quote awhile. I would recommend it for sure

The Vtech DS6321-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless phone DOES NOT deliver what it say it do . The cellphone calls always drops . I would not recommend this phone if it has to be used together with your cellphone. As a house phone it works perfect .

Works very well with BSNL line - voice and calls. The caller ID will not work as the Indian standard is DTMF and the USA std is FSK. Hence there are DTMF to FSK adaptors available (small black units) which you have to buy in India and keep it in series to the telephone line. Also V.tech power adaptor supplied is 110 V, so you will need a converter. Feedback to VTECH: Please make the power adapter universal

If you use Microsoft Lync or a similar soft-phone application (PC software based telephone system) you do not need a phone. You can also connect to your mobile phone by bluetooth or to your land line. I do not have the system connected to my land line so I do not know if I could dial from the touchscreen without the phone. My guess is yes you can but the touchscreen is very small and it would likely drive you crazy when trying to dial from the tiny little dial pad. Right now I dial from my PC screen using Microsoft Lync or I could dial from the tiny touchscreen.

No dial tone upon plug in. However, I do have a cell phone that's with me at work so that should work at a minimum. Was just hoping for both land line and cell options. Agreed re: buy and try. Again, thanks for your help.

Yes, you must have a land line, I think that you can use it with you mobil line connecting with bluetooth but Im no sure... I haven't tried!

The way mine is hooked up is simple. The Bluetooth box connects to the base of your handset system. The Bluetooth box searches for and locates your smartphone. Thereafter, whenever your smartphone comes within range of the phone--about 70 feet--the blue light on the box stops blinking and goes solid blue, indicating that your handset system is now actively linked to your smartphone. When your smartphone rings, so do all of your handsets in every room of your home (in my case, five handsets). If the smartphone has the caller on it's Contacts list, you'll hear that name announced on all your handsets, as in "John Smith." Otherwise, what you hear announced is the odd word "Klink," which is your handset system doing its best to say the word "XLINK." So to the best of my understanding, all you need to do is make your the Bluetooth box is plugged into your handset system's base, and from there on everything should work fine. Mine is simply great tech. Let me know if this didn't respond to your question, corded phones being so rare these days.
