does the answering machine have announcement monitor so I do not have to listen to the message each time the answer machine answers

You do not hear your own greeting when the answering machine picks up, but you can hear the caller leaving the message.

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.

Hi when the phone rings and the machine picks it up it will play the call so you can scan your calls. Has a dynamite call block feature too. Stop those pain in the butt 800 numbers. Reception is good all over the house and around the yard. Best cordless phones I have ever had and I have had at least 5 different v tech, a couple of GE and several other brands. You wont be disappointed.

I am not sure what announcement monitor is...??? But you do have to listen to message when the answering machine answers. I am not sure if you can turn that off. But you want to listen to people when they call you you can screen the calls...

No, it does not make an audible sound, at least as far as I can tell. It has red LED that blinks when you have a message. The LED might get my attention if the machine was sitting in the middle of the room but otherwise it's too easy to miss. I'd would prefer a nice loud beep rather than a passively blinking LED. Hope this helps.

you have the option of using the answer machine or not. I do not as I get my messages through my phone service.

go to menu scroll up or down to answer machine if it says turn off that means the answering machine is on; if it says turn on that means the machine is off.

Yes it announces who the caller is (if the caller is in your contacts) or will announce the phone number, then gives you the option to "answer" or "ignore". This specific feature is very nice because you don't have to look at your phone (i.e. while driving) to see who is calling. Another feature is that all sound goes to the Bluetooth, so I can have my phone on vibrate and it will let me also know when I have a text by sending my "text" sound to the device.

Not that I know of. Ours is connected to an answering machine and that blinks.

No answering machine unfortunately. But, it has a booster button that amplifies the volume of the handset.

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.

You record the message on any day you want, and you can listen to any messages recorded if you press that day. The bluish button (current day) blinks that current day- if you have a recorded message for that day. Only blinks until you listen today, but the message will stay on the machine the whole day for you to relisten.I Do really like this machine, it is a nice reminder (I purchased it for my Mother) I am not sure how long of message I can record (the seconds) but one day can have multiple messages if you desire.

I think on the top of the base you will find a button, perhaps in the lower right corner. the button has a circle on it with a line at 12 oclock. if you push it, it will tell you the answering machine is off. push it again and the message will tell you if it is on. then your answering machine message will play. its that easy on my machine.

Yes. Go to menu; scroll up or down until you come to answering machine. Hit the menu button again and when see answering machine on showing on the screen it means that the answering machine is in fact off.

Yes, when you set it up you have that option. What I don't know is how to set it up so I can stop the incoming message by picking up the phone--think that's a problem with my phone setup, not the machine. I have splitters, used to work with old machine, but now I think have to rearrange the splitter situation.

You have a choice of using the automatic announcement or you can make your own by pressing Menu Select. Press it again and select Answering System. Then press ID or DIR to select "Record New" The system will tell you to announce your message, then press 5 when you are done. Then your own announcement will play. To listen to your own announcement again, scroll to "Play Current" and press Menu/Select. You can always change your message or go back to the recorded announcement. Just do things in reverse. The recorded announcement is a permanent part of the system, so you don't have to worry about it being deleted. Hope this helps.

It's not really the handset that determines this it is the way you hook up your fax machine with Ooma and your network. Although there is a Headphone setting for auto answer you want to make sure is off so fax will answer.

No silent mode that I can remember I have had it for a year. You record the message and so when it calls me the message is from shop. It says the "alarm is sounding at the shop"

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 it does, and that feature can be turned off if you don't want the announcement.
