Some said the volume is too loud on its quietest setting. Can the ringer be turned off, so that there's no volume at all?

You may turn it off, but it's only too loud if you don't adjust the volume to be lower. Excellent product. My dad's had it over 1-1/2 years now

yes.. I had to turn the ringer off because it was alarmingly loud... mother could hear the ring of the other phones in the house so it was ok

I guess that would be the downfall of the phone. I have not found a way to turn the ringer off or down, other than to unplug it. I don't mind as I do not get many calls on the land line. Thanks!

You cannot silence ringer while phone is ringing. You silence ringer by paging through settings on handset when not ringing or on a call.

I think there are several to choose from - all fairly obnoxious - none "cute". Be aware that the ring and ring volume cannot be set for each handset. You also can't turn the ring off on one handset and leave it on others. You can however, set a different ring for incomming forwarded cell calls.

It's loud. I like quiet, so I've turned it off. The phone lights up on the back of the hand piece when someone is calling.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking if the phone ringer can be muted so it does not ring, but you could still answer the phone?

yes you can. What you can't easily do is to turn off the ringer if you are trying not to answer the phone call.

Here's the only way I know to turn the ringer off. Make sure the phone is in its charger. Remove it. Press the "arrow up" part of the round button below the three soft buttons under the digital screen. As the ringer is is sounding, press the "arrow down" part of the same round button until the ringer stops (usually two clicks). Place the phone back in it's charger.

There's a Hi/Low switch inside the battery compartment that turns the volume down. I don't know if the sound can be turned off completely.

Yes, it is very easy to set the volume to off using the base or any handset. You can make the change to apply to only the base or you can select all and it will apply to all handsets as well.

not on our phones - the ring was so loud that I finally figured out how to silence it (we have another phone we left he ringer on low.

Yes. You also can set each individual phone's ringer to how loud or low you'd like it, even turn the ringer off if you want. Neither phone base has a volume control.

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

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.

Yes, there is a switch for Ringer to set at Off, Low or High setting unless you got a different model than that of mine. The switch is located on the right side of the cradle.

Yes. You can change the volume level of the ringer separately. There are 6 volume settings. Ranging from very loud to completely off.

Yes BUT I didn't like that I had to press so many buttons on the menu to do so....I used to have a phone that had an external volume for the ringer, so it was easy to turn it on or off just by touch....now I can't find that kind of phone anymore
