does this phone have a shrill ring tone?

No. the ringtone sounds fine to me. But, at my age of 89 ,my hearing response at the higher end of the sound spectrum is surely not the best.

It is considerably louder, however I am dissatisfied with our Renny as it continually hangs the phone up in the middle of calls.

no The phone is equipped with a ringer control switch. You can adjust level of ring or shut the ringer off if you prefer.

I didn't think this phone had that feature. But, I checked my book and it says that you can customize your phonebook with a choice of preset ring tones. The book also says there is a High Quality Ringer 5-Melody/5-Tone on Handset. I hope this helps.

No. but this is one of the easiest phone4 systems to have.I have a base and four phones. The price was cheaper than Best Buy.The ring tone is very good on a scale of 1 - 10, I give it a TEN

Mine does not. I do have different notification sounds that I use. Different ones for email, voicemail, and so on.

I love this phone it's fantastic. It indeed has a loud ring (silent-vibrate-low-med low-med-med high-high) and a loud earpiece sound. The quality a durability of this phone is great too! Hope this helps!

No it has HTC boom sound. It has two speakers in the front, so it's loud enough. I sometimes have to lower the volume.

Yes. If you turn the ringer volume off on the base, a small red light will blink (on the base) when you receive a call, and the handset will ring.

It's pretty loud in your ear, but like all cell phones, it doesn't ring loud. You have to mostly depend on the vibrate. I didn't try using it with sensitive ear buds though. Some ear buds are louder than others. It's a really nice phone though, and I got a black rubber case for it, it's really nice to handle.

No it does not. I returned this phone and wouldn't recommend buying it. I bought it for my elderly mother thinking it would be easy to see and would call out the numbers of incoming calls. The volume was so low even at the highest setting it was barely audible and the buttons were in no way high contrast or easily seen. I was very very disappointed in the product.

Sound is loud. However when the sound is on loud it is very high pitched. The volume can be changed when on a call.

Yes it does, but see my review where u recommend an alternative red phone that's got much better sound quality....and ringer volume control.

Yes it does. I got this set for my in-laws. They were having a hard time hearing over the old phones. They can hear with these and you can turn the ringer up loud if you need to. I would recommend these phones to anyone who has trouble hearing with a standard phone. Very clear tone.

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!
