How do I use the cell phone part of the handset to call long distance? (The handset can be used on my landline number and my cell phone number)

Do you mean the GE DECT 6.0 30524 corded/cordless phone? For this landline telephone, you can switch a call from one handset to another (or the base) by using the Intercom feature. Press del/int on the handset or Int on the base and choose a handset number (use the CID +/ phonebook -) buttons (if multiple handsets are registered) or select base from the handset. Press Menu/OK to page the other handset or base. Once that device answers the incoming Intercom call, press and hold Del/Int or Int to create a conference call (both handsets or handset and base listening). Press Del/Int or Int to switch from the Intercom call back to the call on hold. Hang up on the first handset if the person on the second handset will continue to speak to the original caller alone. See pages 24-25 of the manual to see the directions. The direct link to the manual is currently https://www.101phones.com/pdf/ge/30524-user-guide-english-f.pdf .

For any landline phone, to forward a call to another phone number, you need to subscribe to a forwarding option with your telephone company. Check their information for initiating call forwarding.

If you have a different 30524 phone, please add a comment with the manufacturer.

I hope this helps.

Please refer user guide available at the attached link.

I am assuming you have trouble answering incoming landline calls from the phone and there is no problem with making outgoing calls on landline. Also I am assuming you are using cell phones and do not have any panasonic handsets.

First thing to check is whether you can answer using the base unit or not. From there on you will have to then check if the cell units are actually working with the base unit. Follow the bluetooth setup instructions and make sure your cell phone is compatible.etc. http://service.us.panasonic.com/opermanpdf/KXTGE260-MUL.pdf

From the BT website...

"If you are using your phone on a broadband line make sure you fit an ADSL microfilter between the telephone line cord and the telephone socket."
I'm guessing you have one on the landline, probably next to the router but not the handset base :-)

Your cell phone is being seen as a long distance phone number from your landline

VoIP phones can do this, but there are obsticles in keeping your phone numbers and forwarding to your cell phone or you can call your phone provider and get them to twin your number to your cell phone.

First the VoIP phone home base station will be in Canada... meaning that you can get transfered calls to you VoIP phone anywhere in the world so long as you have a high speed internet connection.

When you call out on the VoIP set, you will be using the Canadian dial tone, making all your calls long distance if you are in a different area code.
So 2 phones maybe required if you want to call locally in America.
Your 911 calling will have to reflect your address in America, or you need to have a big sticker telling the customer no 911 calling because the outbound number will be coming from Canada, not the US where you are located.

Store a new number in the same location of that which you wish to delete. Otherwise, just don't use the buttion.

The procedure is
Pickup handset
Hit Store Button
Push numbered buttons for phone number
Hit Store Button
Put handset back on cradke
Record number

Tip 1 of 2 Recradle the handset for 15 seconds, then lift the handset and press PHONE. Tip 2 of 2 If the handset is not responding normally, you may need to reset your telephone system. Complete the following steps to reset the telephone system: Step 1: Disconnect the power to the telephone base. Step 2: Disconnect the handset battery. Step 3: Wait a few minutes and then reconnect the power to the telephone base. Step 4: Reconnect the handset battery Step 5: Wait about one minute for the handset to re-establish a link with the telephone base and then test the phone again. If that does not work, call the manufacture at 1-800-595-9511. Or take it back to where you purchased it and have then exchange it.
