    Can you use a DECT phone with a different base to the one it came with?

    Basically, we have a DECT phone already, and only 1 telephone socket. Can you buy a different DECT phone, register it to the original base, and then have the new base just as a charger and have it say upstairs?

    IIRC it depends.....I think DECT phones have to have something called GAP which allows you to mix them up.

    ^ as above. If it's GAP compatible then it is. Most expensive ones are.
