Can you turn off the talking caller-id?

I couldn't figure it out either. Eventually, I picked up a handset and was working my way through the menus under settings and came across the settings for the base unit. It allows you to turn it off through a handset. Make sure you find the settings menu for the base unit, not just the handset.

Hello Simon, Unfortunately no. You can turn off the voice prompt, so you will not here the voice. But the key strike tones are always there. Thanks. Fortress 253 468 0196

Mom - You can turn Voice Announce Caller ID off using the handset Menu. Thanks!

I don't think so. The only on/off "announcement" option I see is "Called ID talk" - which always says "Call from STATE-NUMBER-NAME"

Yes, this model has a feature that when turned ON, it will block all incoming calls that have no caller id. That includes calls that show as "UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE", "-----------", etc. For more information on how to activate this feature, check item 6.0 in the manual: http://hqtelecom.com/TLock-Pro-CallBlocker-N2-UserManual.pdf.

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.

Yes. Press Hold and then press dial to make it accessible. Or to get rid of it so you won't be ear dialing just press hold again.

Yes, but you can also turn it off. There is a switch on the side. I turn mine off. I do not want the phone to answer by itself when I am not around, like a gosh. Lol

There is the capability of silencing the ring tone, however,one must reactivate the ring tone manually. No know call blocking feature. One may set the ring tone to off for callers that block their number(s). Hope this helps. Overall we are pleased with this product.

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will stillregister all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls).If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" forenglish and in service.

Yes. At the base unit there is a button to turn the answer machine off. This is a great system and voice quality is amazing. I definitely recommend the system

Yes. It actually "talks" the name on the caller id. (Sometimes kind of annoying -"Call from cell phone,etc") Also, A message shows on my television screen, (although this is probably a feature from Comcast)

Yes, the ringer can be turned off. The ringer is very annoying so we turned it off and allow the cordless phones let us know when a call comes in.

per the handbook (pg 34), it states: If you do not want the first ring from a number on the call block list to sound, turn the first ringsetting to "Off". The default setting is "On". So to answer your question, yes it can be done. Also for any other question, here is the URL from the Panasonic site for the manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF

Yes. Menu, #, 1,6, 2,,,O for off. My question to you is:Why did you buy this specific unit if you didn't want talking caller I'd?
