Might be making the switch to Vonage.

Yes, everyone of the handsets can "conference in" at the same time...Obviously though, with only 1 phone number, only one person can make a unique outgoing call at a time...although, I have the 1 line plus 1 fax line package, and we often make outgoing calls on the fax line when the "voice line" is being used....

Hey wase4711,

That is good to hear. I went to a few stores today to price out a phone system... I would say 3/4 of the shelves in every store were 2.4 GHz which all came with a second handset as a bundle. The few 5.8 GHz phones that they had of course did not come with a bundle and were rather expensive!

I guess I'll be pricing out phones online this evening...

I decided to cross out the the Uniden from the list of phones I wanted.

The 3 phone brands I am looking into now are Panasonic, Vtech, Motorola. I used to have an older Panasonic model which was great, but the battery life was horrible on the phone.
