They do exist, but they're not cheap (£200+ IIRC). Don't have any details
offhand but someone will be along.

Does it *have* to be a DECT phone..? 2-line wired phones such as the BT
Converse 2025 are a lot cheaper and work well, they even have a conference
facility to connect the two lines together in a 3-way call.

The other alternative is a small PBX.

A different approach, but how about not using the FXS ports on your router
(with 2 SIP accounts?) and getting a DECT basestation with Ethernet
and 6 SIP accounts?

ie. a Siemens S450IP..

Only one I know of OTTOMH is the DECTSys, but everyone tells me it's
crap so I have never bothered fitting one. Last time I used a 2 line
PBX and some Panasonic DECT phones instead. Price worked out at about
the same, but te kit was better.

Yes I have seen these, retailing around £89. But I bought a new router for
its built in VoIP. I currently have a wired phone on the landline, and a
DECT on one of the FXS ports. The wife is moaning she has to go downstairs
to answer the landline, so wants a cordless. It was me that thought about a
2 line DECT phone. Might be cheaper and better to get a PBX and do it that
way. Or buy the wife a new DECT phone small enough to keep her happy?

I have two separate DECT kits plugged into the FXS ports of my PAP2 ATA
(his and hers). Because they connect to two separate voxalot accounts, we
can
make internal calls between the handsets.

This is the option I am probably going to go with, mainly due to cost and
less equipment sat on the side for the wife to moan at me with.

I pondered and scratched my head and went round every option...
In the end we just told everyone we had a new number.
Started off trying to persuade everyone an 056 number wasn't going to
cost them a fortune then I eventually gave in and ust picked up a new
sipgate number with the correct code for our area.
All incoming calls now come in on the sipgate number. I still have an
old wired phone in the BT socket but ended up turning the ringer off as
the only calls I got were from people trying to sell insurance cover for
the SkyHD box!

Everyone these days has multiple contact points be it e-mail, text,
mobile phone, web-cam or whatever. Getting then to just dial a VOIP
number is no hardship. Just don't tell them it's a VOIP number and
they'll not worry.

The Sipgate geographical number I ended up with is more memorable then
our BT number.

Best Speed I can get on ADSL is 2Mb/315kb but it's fine.

Can the Siemens handsets register with more than one base station?
(like the Rabbit phones could).

Most if not all DECT handsets can register with more than one base
station. However, unlike the Rabbit phones, they don't allow simultaneous
use of them at the same time. So if you want to have a handset ring for
more than one line, you're stuffed unless you use some form of PBX.
