Can talking caller id be disabled; i.e., can it be visual/on screen only?

Yes. You can disable at each individual phone as well as the base unit. It's nice to disable, especially when you have company in the house, I do not like other people hearing who is calling.

Yes, it has talking ID and you will know who it is. Another feature I like is that you can block calls from people you don't want to talk to. I highly recommend this phone.

The talking ID can be shut off by using the menu. I haven't shut mine off because there are times I can't get to the phone right away and it comes in handy.

Yes you can. You can also delete or answer it if you want to. If you just listen, the call will remain as a new call for future reference. I love these phones.

Yes you can. It had caller ID too, once u enter the number and name it identifies who is calling. Otherwise it identifies the number that is calling

I haven't used that feature if it indeed has it. I will say 99% that it doesn't. It's a good phone. I actually used it to replace a $3k clunky system a local vendor sold me upon opening my business that proved useless. We use this phone at a retail store & restaurant- it handles all of our incoming calls quite well & the caller ID has proven very useful for pesky marketing calls while trying to do business without announcing it aloud. Best of luck!

I am now on my second at&t phone set and once again I have a battery issue which made me replace the previous set in the first place! I enjoyed its functions but now I have decided to purchase a different phone set to replace it and will go with a different company this time!!! but yes you can silence the caller id by going into menu and select caller id and choose on or off to both the base or handset. if I did not have this battery issue I would highly recommend this phone.......

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" )

The Caller ID function will show up on the screen of your phone, but the headset will not read the name to you into your ear (at least, not that I'm aware of).

I happen to like this feature, so I never looked into turning it off. I can decide if I want to answer the phone, since Robo calls and solicitors now only show a phone number when they call.
