Does this phone have a Do Not Disturb feature? Like if the kids are taking a nap it won't ring and you can't hear someone leaving a message?

You can turn the ringer off by pressing Menu #160, then press volume down and save...and it also has a Silent Mode where you can set certain times to be silent. I don't know the shortcut for that, but it's Menu &gt; Initial Setting &gt; Ringer Setting &gt; Silent Mode. I normally just turn the ringer off like above so I use the shortcut, very simple.

I think that is just the way it's designed, for privacy when you have company, for example, so they can't listen. I have not tried listening on the handset after it rings, but maybe that is how you screen the calls. Thwy have a really good customer service department, you could call them during business hours. Im curious myself now! I do like how I dont have to listen to my own outgoing message every time it picks up like my last phone. That is why I did not by a Uniden again.

Yes the ringer can be turned off. Press volume when phone is not in use and phone will not ring.

The mute function on this phone works great for me. No sounds or clicks but, depending on the constant background noise level of the environment you use it in, there may be a major contrast in the silence of mute causing a noticable transition when turning mute on on/off. But this will be the case with any phone I suppose.

The only such feature this phone offers according to the manual is call screening, but not blocking. That is you can listen while the answering machine gives its speech and when you hear the reply decide whether to interrupt and talk to the person.

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.

No it does not have voice mail or any answering machine features. Not bad phone considering what is available now a days. It feels light and a bit cheap but it works and I have no problem hearing others or them hearing me which is the point. I would recommend or purchase again.

My provider handles the messages. I dial my number and receive whatever message has been left. I no longer have an answering machine. I think it is perfect. My favorite feature on this phone is being able to block unwanted calls. Such as out of area, anonymous and all the other needless calls.

Yes, you can put the ringer on silent. It's on page 26 of the instruction book. The phone has the feature that annouces who is calling and you can also turn that off.

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!

There is a do not disturb button. Push that and you won't hear any ringing until you allow ringing again. I love the DND button.

It is a 4 line phone. Not an answering machine. If your speaking of the intercom on it there is a volume control on top of the phone. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) button.

mine doesnt, never tied in to system via phone line even after trying two different control panels. The alarm just sounds. I dicussed this with the company and they never fixxed it. I'm very disappointed in it!!!!

Its just a shell similar to a prepay cell phone so its not locked. I just bought a $10 sim card for it and it worked perfectly. The ringer is nice also and it can receive texts but I wouldnt want to type one out on it its a slow process. Good for me to send the kids reminders. I would imagine it could work internatinally as its based off your cell service providers phone signal.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am thinking of getting the unit and would like to set some handsets not to ring for the second line.
