A:AnswerHi - Regretfully, the call screening on the cordless handset of the VTech IS8151-4 will only engage when the MENU/SELECT button is pressed while the answering machine is recording a message. The message broadcast is only automatic on the telephone base.
Thank you,

A:AnswerYes, each handset comes with their own batteries (2 each per handset) and recharge while in cradle. Yes, each cradle
has individual electric cord for outlets.
A:AnswerYes, you can connect between the base and individual handsets to any other. Each handset is numbered and you go to the intercom feature and select who you want to connect to via the intercom.
A:AnswerTry again on the question. Want to use this system as a stand alone system paired to a cheap cell phone with a unique number. Do not want to hard wire to land line as AT&T cannot seem to provide a line without static all the time. So have an otherwise unused cell phone with a unique number. Can I pair this cell phone with this product and not answer the cell phone on any of the handsets. Back door way to give this system a cell phone number. Would leave the cell phone on all the time next to the base station. Hope this clarifies the question.
A:AnswerHi - Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a maximum of approximately 15 feet) from the telephone base of the VTech IS8151-4.

A:AnswerHi - The VTech IS8151-4 is capable of call forwarding as long as you are subscribed to the service from your telephone service provider.

A:AnswerNot sure. Probably a good question to ask on the Ooma web site.
The Vtech system has built in call blocking, so this feature might be duplicated.
I don't know about the differences between Ooma basic and premier, and whether neither, either, or both would allow you to transfer a phone directory to the Vtech system.
