ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus provides an indication of active handsets in a cordless telephone system (100). A user enters an inquiry (204) using either a handset (104) or the user interface (120) of the base station (102). The base station (102) pings or queries (210) each registered handset (106, 108, 110, 112) to establish a list of active handsets. The list of active handsets is then transmitted (228) to the handset (104) from which the inquiry was received or is displayed using the user interface (120) of the base station (102). This permits the user to learn what other users are actively registered with the base station (102) for call forwarding, intercom operation or for use of any other user convenience features of the cordless telephone system (100).
