  AFAIK the BT Verve 500 is GAP (Generic Access Profile) compatible which means you can use any compatible handset with any base unit: e.g. a Panasonic GAP handset will work with a BT GAP compatible unit.
  However features that may not work, are the options in the advanced menu - for example: accessing the answer machine
  or have a look here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_kw=bt+verve+additional+handsets

  All we need to do is answer and make calls. We now have a three floor house and can't hear the downstairs one ring. Even if we did, we wouldn't make it down in time!
  
  Thanks for the info

  I'd suggest this
  
  http://www.medion.com/gb/prod/MEDION%C2%AE+LIFE%C2%AE+S63012+Design+Twin+DECT+Phone+%28MD82269%29+%28B-stock%29/50036843B?wt_mc=gb.intern.Refurbished%20Products..on-ma&wt_cc3=Refurbished%20Products&wt_cc1=1_1
  
  but with a 3 floor house I'd get a four phone set - in addition to what you have.

  That's seems a good buy, if I can't get hold of a cheap second handset. I'm not spending more than about £20 or so to get a second handset or new pair.
  
  We really don't need 4 handsets, it's not a big house. The middle floor is the kids rooms and bathroom. We only have a living room and kitchen downstairs, which have the existing phone. We just need a second one for the top floor which is our office and main bedroom. The kids can go up one or down one if they have to!

  I decided it was too expensive to buy an extra handset for my Panasonic, so bought a completely new four handset system instead (and kept the old two handset one on a separate line).
