This phone is only for expanding your system. You cannot plug and go if you dont already have a base. So the answer is No.

Hey, no you would need the base station which then communicates with all expansion devices.

No, it is a speakerphone. You might could unplug the handset and plug in a headset there.

No, this is a single line phone. I really like the phone though -- if you only need a single line.

I tested it and you don't need to have a home phone line in order to use this cordless phone.. But of course you need a cell phone line...

Yes, you can. You just have to make sure that you are using a DECT phone. The DECT phones have the ability to connect to each other without telephone cables. I suggest get a Panasonic or some other wireless phone system with several receivers. Works perfect.

Yes. Corded phones like this one (with the handset attached by a cord) are line powered.
1757748
Yes, you can. You can bring your own phone with straight talk. Call them & verify this info.

No. The machine operates between the phone and the outlet. Plug the unit into the outlet. There's a place to connect the phone line to the unit. The same line you would use to connect to the outlet connects to the unit instead.

No, if the phone is on there are more features available, but it works just fine without the phone.

No. This is an expansion handset that can only operate wirelessly with signals from a base unit. There is no direct phone line connection.

Yes. You can do 'in line' connection. Connect the line to SENTRY, then connect SENTRY to phone. The downside is your phone will not show the caller id info.

No. This is a simple bare bones phone. It's sounds great and I got it because I didn't want a phone with any additional electronics or anything else to plug in.

No .you can use it with or without a data plan. That is why i got it simple talking and texting.

If you have a SIP capable phone system that the POTS lines are plugged into, yes. But if you are wanting to plug the POTS line directly into the phone, no.

The phone will not work without power. Even if power was available, the phone will disconnect when you switch from the hand unit to the speaker phone. Stay away from it! It's junk.

Can you use the speaker without needing to pick up the hand set to dial or hang up?

It will work to receive calls without the power supply plugged in, and if I recall correctly, you can also make outgoing calls. The display is blank without a power supply plugged in. I don't remember if the caller id directory shows the history for the period when the phone was unplugged.Regards, Dan
