Panasonic cordless phone KX-TGA470 not working with new Obi200

[kksimon25]

Just got my Obi200 and set it up.  Using Google Voice.  I have an old fashioned phone that can connect and it makes outgoing calls just fine.  When I connect the base unit of my panasonic cordless system and try to make a call with it, the handset says "busy" and I can't get a dial tone.  Thanks in advance to the experts on this forum!

A KX-TGA470 is an additional handset for use with several base station models.  Which base station do you have?

You will need to turn off the "Cellular line only mode" option on the Panasonic. Check the manual to see how to enable/disable this option. I have several Panasonic Link2Cell DECT 6.0 phones but not the model you have.

Edit: On my Panasonic phones, this option is Menu #157

Link to cell was the ticket!  Thanks so much.  Forgot that I had turned that on in the time before I ordered the ibi.
