When a call comes in does it also amplify the ring tone?

Yeah because the music and the ring tone both use the same speaker on the phone to make sound

Yes it does, the music lowers completely, and you get a ringer, and the display does show the caller ID number. You can press a button on the stereo or phone to decline it.

Yes it does. You control how loud it rings and how loud the other person sounds on the receiver. One thing I didn't like was that when someone calls, the phone speaks the name of whoever is calling, however this at&t; brand isn't clear at all at pronouncing the words correctly. It sounds like gibberish 80% of the time. PANASONIC is the best at sounds all around.

It does not. I realized that after I wrote the review. It only can answer calls/hang up or change music depending on the single, double or tripple click you have set up.

yes, volume is adjustable, like most normal phones. Ring is pretty loud as well.

My cell device does not offer this as a feature so I can not say if you would hear the callers name. I do hear the phone rings and my specific ring announcements (you have a text, your mother is call, its the boss do not answer the phone). I suspect that hearing names would work.

Yes. When they call it comes through the speakers. At least in my car it did.

No, it will not amplify your voice. If you are looking for something like that, I did have a phone like Clarity's XL-30 Amplified Phone with Outgoing Voice Amplifier. I still have that phone, but no land line these days. It was great, I lived in an area where the resident thieves would call my home frequently to find out when I was and wasn't home. They never ever hung up until I flipped the switch to amplify my voice. Must of scared them. But my grandmother in another state loved the fact that I could amplify my voice, but I had to remember to whisper when it was on because she wasn't that hard of hearing.

I don't know the answer, but I can't imaging it having a problem with other phone systems. It is a fairly basic device to amplify volume.

No, it does not amplify the voice audio, just the ring and it does that just fine.

It does have a volume adjustment. Press in on the call hang up button but HOLD DOWN ON IT. A ding sound will increase in volume all the way up to a point, then start at the lowest possible volume setting again. Do this while on a call and be careful not to hang up on the person by pressing and releasing quickly. You might be able to try it while playing music, too, but I have not tried it yet.

Yes. You have several choices for the different lines. I have four phone lines and mine are set so each has its own individual ring tone.
897193
Yes it does. I got this set for my in-laws. They were having a hard time hearing over the old phones. They can hear with these and you can turn the ringer up loud if you need to. I would recommend these phones to anyone who has trouble hearing with a standard phone. Very clear tone.

From the manual: "You can adjust the volume of incoming calls by simply sliding the VOL control. This gives you up to 18 dB more volume. If you want more amplification, follow the directions below. 1. Press the AMPLIFY button as shown in Figure 9 to turn the incoming voice amplifier on or off. When AMPLIFY is on, the AMPLIFY indicator comes on. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/208772/Ameriphone-Xl50.html?page=6#manual

The amplification is very strong and it does audibly when announce who is calling.

The amplification can be left on normal. My husband, who uses this phone, is legally blind - he doesn't need the amplification either.

It only amplifies the ringer. It is loud enough to enable those who are hard of hearing to answer their phone.
