Can you tell me if this phone has a "Do not disturb" button so even if the ringer is off, you would NOT hear a message when it comes through? Thank yo

do not know, but it does have a volume button so why not just turn it down as low as it would go. I'm sure you would sleep right thru any messages that come through.

This phone does have a silent mode which allows you to set a period of time during which the handset will not ring for outside calls. This is in addition to turning the ringer off. Hope this helps.

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).

You meant no ringing when incoming phone enters ? We did not get this problem at all...

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

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.

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?

In the handset configuration menu, there is an option to set the ringer volume. It can be completely turned off. Also, the system has a programmable silent mode, where you can tell the phone not to ring during certain times. I have not experimented with that, so I don't know how flexible it is. Hopefully this helps. And when you have a moment, check my books (by Ward Wagher) on sale through Amazon.

I have not had this happen, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know.**UPDATE**Sorry this is coming a bit later, but yes, the ringer will go through the speaker.

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.

It does when I get a text. Not a phone call though. Calls are strictly vibrate. But texts are voice and you can respond with just your voice or choose ignore right now.

It doesn't beep annoyingly... BUT I'm still trying to figure out how to ACCEPT the call waiting call!! Doesn't address it in the manual, and it's hard to test it out until it's actually happening... and friends start getting annoyed when you a) cut them off and/or b) can't answer their call! Otherwise, I so far love this phone. I got it for it's EcoFriendly mode, to keep the EMF footprint in my home as low as possible... but love it for lots of other reasons!

There is a delay but it is a small one. I find I have to say hello twice ever so often. I'm not sure if it is the other person not paying attention or a delay in the handset. There is a delay with rings. It will ring the cell phone before it rings the house phone. That may be what causes people attention to wonder, that one added ring before you pick it up. I find that you can place the phone away from the box but ever so often you will have some static. By putting it next to the box the problem was fixed. As I always put it on charge so putting them together are not a problem. Out going calls are no problem at all. Overall I'm pleased with the system. No regrets whatsoever.

Robert - I had to look to make sure. The ringer makes two sounds - slightly different so you can tell which line is active without having to run to look at the indicator lights. Yes, there is a ringer switch up near the 'line input' socket. The switch has just two settings "off" and "on". There is no "high / low" option. And there is just the one switch. So if you turn it to "off" - the ringing sounds for both lines are silenced and only the indicator lights would be functioning. I'll have to say that this modestly price 2-line phone has continued to work perfectly since I bought it months ago. Hope this answers your question. Dan Robert - I had to look to make sure.

My phone is on silent mode. When someone calls I don't hear the message and I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to hear the message if it was in standard mode. The only reason I even have the phone is because my cable bundle comes with telephone. It is a nice phone though with lots of nice features!

I have a V-Tech phone, Model i6767 which in the set up allows for the answering machine to beep when a new message has been received but not accessed. It's a great phone. My only complaint is you can totally turn off the ringer and you can lower the sound on the answering machine to not hear an incoming message, but when someone leaves a message it BEEPS which wakes me up. Other than this, it's a great phone. WHY DID THEY DO THAT!!!!

The ringer does not come thru the speakers. If your phone rings, the music stops and all you hear is the phone ringer, when your finished with your call the music resumes. Bought this for my husband last fathers day and he loves it! It gets pretty loud and the music does not get all fuzzy or distorted when played loud...

Not exactly. It only has a DND (do not disturb) button. When pressed it will turn off the ringging sound on the base and all the phones.
