I actually do not know... I picked up the phone and tried to make a call but could hear my voice coming back out of the earpiece... so it never rang for me.

The ringer is loud enough and the volume may be adjusted or turned off. There are three volume adjustments on the phone: one for ringer volume (3 notch incremental slider), one for speaker volume and one for handset volume (both of which are continuous sliders).

The ringer can be adjusted from very soft to very loud. Have not found a way to shut off ringer and instructions do not specify. A very nice phone.

loud enough for an ex artillery soldier. It can be adjusted, and muted if you wish.This is a well designed basic desk phone.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Yes but I don't know how to turn it off. I can't get the handvset to ring. Only the base rings.

John - the ringers can be raised or lowered. "Very loud" is subjective to each individual. We believe it gets rather loud. Thanks!

The ringer is definitely a bell. It's a REALLY LOUD bell. The nice thing is that there's a small lever on the bottom of the phone which adjusts the strength of the bell from no sound to a deafening roar that would wake the dead.

Yes- the ringer can be turned off - and there are flashing lights which remain on with the ringer off -so that you are still aware that a call is coming in - even though the phone is not ringing. It also has a "thumb-wheel" volume control for the "hard of hearing" - which is helpful in a noisy surrounding. I have not really checked the range -(as I have several other phones elsewhere in the house).

Ring is fairly loud. It is a metal striker against a metal cup. Of course, I have the stainless timer so the metal cup is mounted in a metal frame and that undoubtedly makes it a little louder. Good luck.

Yes the phone has fairly loud ringtones I would say louder than most phones. The entire time I used the phone I could always hear it even if the volume wasn't turned all the way up.

I was too loud for me on the highest setting. My house is not big, 1300 sq. ft., but I would say the ringer is plenty loud. I have one phone in my house and the other in my garage and always hear it.

The ringer cannot be adjusted very basic phone yes old fashioned and loud old style ringer. On the handle there is a minimal volume control for the earpiece to make it louder for hearing the caller.

The Ringer can be put on off, low or high. I just tested it. The phone works very well. Both the speaker and hand held are clear and can be adjusted for volume. It also has a jack for a headset. I would buy again.

I don't believe you can turner the ringer completely off. As you are probably aware of, the ringer has two pitch settings, LO and HIGH,and the volume settings are LO, MED and HI, but no OFF. Georgia

Yes, the ringer can be turned off. The ringer is very annoying so we turned it off and allow the cordless phones let us know when a call comes in.

Go to Menu then Initial Settings then Ringer Settings press Select then Ringer Volume press the up arrow and Select Silent Mode for the phones you do not want to ring. Hope this helps.

I looked in the manual and there is nothing in there to indicate you can shut the ringer off.
