Can the caller id be read without answering the phone? Doesn't the phone answer automatically when picked up?

Here is another answer that may help...if you have cable or satellite, you can hook up your phone to the cable or satellite box and it will put your Caller ID info up on the tv screen everytime you get a phone call. For me, who has trouble seeing the phone screen, this option is a lifesaver. Just a thought...As far as your question is concerned, those who have already answered it have given you the correct information.

Yes, you can turn the auto answer off so when you pick up the phone you see the caller ID to answer you push the green talk button

You can set the handset either to answer when you lift the handset off the base or not answer until you push the "talk" button. So, if you have it set to not answer until you push talk you can read the caller ID without answering. (On each handset...go to "settings" on the screen and scroll to "auto answer", then select "yes" or "no" )

No, not to answer the phone. You have to hit answer on the phone but after that it is hands free until you hang up.

No caller ID. This is your basic old fashion phone. No batteries or electrical outlets needed. We love it!

Yes, however your phone service has to have this feature turned on. The phone will capture the caller ID.

The caller ID appears on the display B4 U pick-up. Phone is like older style phones, once U pick up receiver your connected. No button to push.

Yes, it does. Out of the box it will read the phone number, but you can connect with your PC and manually input numbers. So, for example, I have put the numbers of my "favorites" into my headset and it tells me the callers name now for all of those. However, it will not just extract this information from your phone's address book automatically.

Yes, it does display caller ID if you have this service; however, the down side is that it requires batteries for the digital ID to work. I am currently using the Amazon rechargeable batteries for that. I highly recommend this product

Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

I have this phone and I have it set to answer after 6 rings. When a call comes in, the display initially shows "Ringing", but before the second ring, it begins displaying the caller's ID. It continues showing the caller's ID through the remainder of the rings.

No, it doesn't. As applicable, display shows incoming" phone# and caller's name" or "unavailable" or "private caller".

No CallerID on this phone. This phone design was made before CallerID. To use CallerID with such a phone you would need a separate stand-alone CallerID device.

Yes it does have caller id. As your phone is ringing it will announce to you discreetly in your ear who is calling.

Neither - you just have to check the Caller ID to know if someone has called. I'm not that impressed with this phone at all. :(

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

Yes, it works without the captioning just like any phone. Yes, it has caller id.

If you have the caller's phone in the phone's directory, then it says the name of the person. Otherways it just displayes the phone number.
