Diane, Sorry took a while to answer back; the answer is no not that I'm aware of. I haven'thad a chance to look over all of the features but this phone is everything the description said.I just read the comment from selective one and will look in the manual to find out if this is true.

See page 14 and 15 of the user manual. You need to go to the Answer Setup in the menu and set it to have the base beep every 15 seconds when you have a new message. The alert stops after you listen to all your new messages or if you press any key on the base.

It is not a voice announce and if it has it I have not found it. However, my caller id does pop on my TV so I can screen my calls that way. However, we are very happy with this on all levels.

yes, there is a message alert, I don't use it. You just have to turn it on.

It does have an option to speak the numbers as pressed. The battery status is shown on the home screen plus one of the keys flashes red when it's charging and solid red when charged. I'm not sure what you mean by a "sent" alert. There's a visible text and voicemail alert when they're received. I don't know about hearing aid compatibility.

There is no alert tone. there is a subtle, blinking, red light that you can see if you look directly at and down on the master. There is a blinking, yellow light on each ot the handsets. They do tell you when the call was made.

I didn't see anything in the manual that it would provide an alert. No failure yet, so I can't say from personal experience.

I am not aware of an audible reminder. When you are using the phone, there is an indicator light that flashes on the LifeLink Prodigy to let you know the line is in use. These units are great. Within a month of buying one for an elderly relative, they fell and used the call feature to get help right away.

It does have a audible high pitch alarm right at the mechanism when the lock is tempered with.However I have been disappointed with its overall performance specially during the cold weather.

It shows when you have a message, and will beep until the message is listened to

Not on the one I have, you have to look at it. A bright magnified red button with the number of messages is shown.

Yes, the unit sounds an audible alarm. If connected to a system, it also causes all other detectors to sounds, the base unit to sound, and alerts the monitoring company (subscription required).

My brand new one doesn't seem to beep at all, and the instruction book only says that it will "flash", meaning tiny black things blink on and off, that can barely be seen. I'm very puzzled by this, as previous reviewers said that it beeped. I suppose they changed the model. I note that Amazon's product information only says it gives you "alerts". I assumed that meant audible, but it doesn't actually say so. I hope someone can shed some light on this!

Yes, it has a non-speaking alarm. I'm not sure how long it goes off--on the voice setting it says the prompt 3X, then pauses about 30 sec and repeats like that a few times.

It's true, you will need to check the screen for the "new message" alert. It's easy to see, but perhaps not as easy as a red, blinking light.

Yes it does but it will not flash the blinking light if you have a voice mail. It only flashes if you use the answering machine built into the system. The way you will know you have a voicemail is when you pick mit up you will hear the little beeping sounds.

Yes. It is very easy to disable the audible alert, leaving just the vibration.
