Dual Line Cordless Phone Suggestions

[usa2k]

I don't have my VOIPo number yet, but I just picked up a Uniden TRU9466. I currently have the similar model that is single line and an answering machine. I can use all my existing handsets and when I register them to the new base, they will all be 2 line handsets.

Also, it doesn't have voicemail. Hopefully, I won't have mwi issues.

My past experience with Packet8 with UNIDEN with the answering machine, is it would not turn on the MWI on Packet8 when I had stutter tone active. It worked great on a UNIDEN version without an answering machine. (1-line or 2-line -- I have both)

Looking at my 2-line UNIDEN, the TRU9466 is exactly what I use with the two HT286 from VOIPo connected. It should be good. With the HT286, I find MWI does not shut off right away. It dose shut off, but could be an hour or more. (It used to clear immediately as I bet it will with the HT502.)

Some day, DECT 6.0 2-line is likely a future upgrade for me. I really wish the phone manufacturers can get their act together and design a PBX style DECT system. After all, its more of a network protocol than requiring every phone to be dedicated to X-number of lines. They need to design it for the appearance of a single line phone, with 1/2/4 incoming/outgoing lines available to the base. That office type design approach is more user friendly.

Hmmm ... they do have some (a very quick look)
