BT 4000 & BT 4600

Can I use 2 base stations, BT 4000 and BT 4600 together. Mistakenly purchased a singlle BT 4000 base unit, the thought is to purchase a BT 4600 as the base unit plugged into the phone line with the BT 4000 (currently used as the base unit) demoted to serve as the additional handset.

Yes, but you may need to deregister the 4000 from its base & register to the 4600 base.

Depending on how similar they are, possibly not all functions will work.

Many thanks, is there a simpler way? Perhaps someone can recommend a suitable additional handset to match the BT 4000.

It would probably be better to start again with a 4600 multiset rather than try to find an older 4000.

Sadly the BT 4000 base unit only was recently purchased as a gift without knowing the recepient did not have a phone extension. Is there a single handset available to match as the BT 4000 is still on sale as new?

Amazon seem to have the best price for additional 4000 handsets at £25.

But beware of sellers with just the handset with no charging base.

Thank you, additional handsets seem unavailable on aftermarket unless refurbished. Poor sales technique from BT.
