Can you mute the phone so it does not ring and you cannot hear the caller but the message will still record?

Yes if you have a separate answering machine or voice mail service which automatically picks up after a designated number of rings (even though you don't hear them). This phone does not have an integral answering machine

Yes, you can replace the default recorded message with your own. You will have to make sure to tell callers to press 1, though. If they don't press 1, the call will be blocked by the Telebouncer.

Yes, you have the option of either having the message volume on or off. You can decide whether you want to be able to monitor your calls by hearing the message and the reply or you can set it for a silent mode and check it at any time later.

Yes, you can shut it off. It will still show the missed calls and also, with our phone company system, shows how many messages you have on their system for each line.

No, it doesn't. The caller will still hear you after you press the pause button. There isn't a way to place the caller on hold, just mute. They will hear a click when you press mute, so may think you hung up. They will not hear you until you press mute again. They will not hear when you unmute yourself.

I think you'd mute the phone. The button on the side will "answer" and "hang up."

You can't mute the mic directly on the headset. You have to mute your phone and it will mute the mic on the headset.

So far, I have not found an "off" button but I haven't read the entire manual. There is a mute button. The volume of the ring can be turned way down or up to super loud. When I turned down the volume of the ringer, it was very quiet.

If I understand you correctly you are asking if someone can just hear your message but not leave a message for you. If this is what you are asking, I don't think that is possible. I am not sure of how much time you have to record a greeting, but I know the answer is in the booklet you get with the phone.

The mute button will eliminate the recorders side of the conversation. Of there is ambient noise on the opposite side of the conversation or will still be recorded. I have found the best recording strategy is to make sure I am in a quiet location. I find the sound quality goods enough for my needs. I hope this helps.

You don't hear your out going message at all. As for the incoming calls you can set any or all handsets to listen to the message called, call screening, or any or all can be turned off and the message will be recorded and you can listen to it later on any hand set. Best phone set I have ever purchased.
