If I buy two of these WITHOUT base, how would the handsets find each other?

Nunz - They wouldn't. You need to buy a system with a base and at least two handsets. If you only want an intercom, you would not have to connect the base to a telephone line.

Yes, there is a function on the phones for intercom between hand sets, they both have to be in the intercom position and the base would have to be on but doesn't have to have the phone line connected.

The base must be connected to a phone line and to a 120vac power outlet. The handset is cordless.

To the best of my knowledge the handset is specifically designed with the matching handset and not any other type. I am not aware that they could be bought separately. If you have a different handset with it's own base, yes they will work together, but NOT INTERCHAGABLY.

The handset is cordless, the base is requires power and a telephone connection

You need the base unit to operate all the handsets. The handsets are like satellite units that relay the signal from the base unit. They can be added on to or as replacements to the base unit set that usually comes with extra handsets to have handy in other rooms. The handsets come with just a charging stand and do not need a phone line to be plugged into. When you program numbers into the directory they work in all the units and it is simple for one unit to call another.

i would not recommend this phone - first of alli am not an expert on this phone, but i would suspect you could have a second base, but it would have different extentions (handsets) tied to it. i am not sure if that makes sense.

on the back of the base or your other cordless phone should be the model number - type that number into Amazon and it should find the same model. We needed extra phones for our office for an expansion and did this. When the phones arrived, the directions told you how to sync the new phones to the existing base. We've had no problems - very easy to do. We did have to call customer service for a different minor issue and they were so friendly and helpful. Hope this helps.

Now that you have the base unit including a handset, yes, you can buy additional handsets without buying another base. What you have expandable, so you can buy extra handsets to add to your phone system. You can buy them at

the base unit has a wall mount adapter but the other handsets must be on a flat surface.

Both portable handsets receive the signal from the main base. The second smaller base is merely a charging station for the second handset.

I can't give precise information about this. What i do know is that i bought a uniden base that came with 1 handset, about 10 years ago. the new handset i bought this year from amazon should have been compatible according to the information on the amazon site. i couldn't get the handset coupled with the base, the "firmware" was not compatible. i ended up harvesting the battery from the new handset and put the new handset, and the old battery, into the good will donation box. good luck.

No. You can leave the handset in the base unit and use the base unit's speakerphone with the handset in place..

Yes...I lost a handset and ordered another one. I just put it into the base I already had. Now I have an extra base. Great phones!

Yes, you do need the base for this to work. This is just the handset accessory for the expandable cordless. I hope this helps!

Just the base is connected to a phone jack. You will want power for the other handsets to charge in the cradle. I have been impressed with this phone so far, the sound is clear and has good range.

not a replacement for the base. It's just an additional handset with it's own charger.

Both have speaker the base and the phone, so if you don't find the phone can you answer it through the base
