It does retain extension digits, but all you have to do is scroll back to the original number and then click redial. The biggest issue I have with this phone is the volume is too low and when doing conference calls, you frequently cannot get it loud enough.

Dear Nancy,We have had the Digitone Call Blocker for about a year. I has cut down on annoying call of all types and IT DOES WORK!! It will block unlisted and private numbers that come in as unknown name/number and will indicate to you where the call came from. At this point you can BLOCK or INVITE the call. If we don't know who it is they are blocked. You can block entire area codes also. My suggestion to you is to visit their website. Any and all questions are answered there. If not call them direct they are GREAT to talk with, I did. It is the only workable and worthwhile investment. Easy to install and the instructions are easy to understand. Read my Post on Amazon.

They are good replacement for panasonic phones batteries . It would better to replace batteries in all your phones .If one phone is weak, all the phones in the systems will not work well. I tried to replace batteries in only one phone but it did not correct the problem till I replaced them all . Now my phones are performing well and I do not need to buy new phones.

I moved for the first time in 20 years and a friend helped me pack. I totally forgot about that caller ID unit. It has been packed up for a year now. I didn't even remember about that missing caller ID Unit until I saw your email! Thanks for reminding me. Now we'll have to check some of our stick packed boxes and see if we can find it.

You have to hang up the phone after you enter and save each number. Make sure you access the panel on the back to start entering the numbers.Hopes this helps.

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

To disconnect the CELL PHONE talking CID you MUST access Menu and #6141 (1st cell phone) #6142 (2nd cell phone). This was in earlier comments but thought someone else might find it useful. If you have a cell phone hooked into system you MUST access Menu and #6141 (1st cell phone) #6142 (2nd cell phone). ALL of my extensions had talking CID off but I was still getting talking CID for my bluetooth phone-- I checked and re-checked then found out that the bluetooth phone talking CID also needed to be turned off using Menu #6141) I was very close to sending this back.

probably my experiences always involve lengthy phone calls because they want to short my minutes last time they wanted to give me 800 minutes when i had 2600 after 2 days and a lot of frustration i found someone who knew their job and fixed the problem. i'm looking to upgrade my phone but am fearful of going through that again.

Sorry, I haven't tried that feature. I hope to do so in the future. Why don't you try to call Innovative Technologies? They have been helpful to me in the past.

I use Comcast Digital Voice in Colorado and get a "phone call" that shows up in my caller ID every 10 minutes from the time someone leaves a voicemail. Fills up the caller ID rather quickly when I'm at work. Tried toggling the first ring feature off and then on with no change. If anyone knows of a workaround other than getting a new phone I'd love to hear it. REALLY disappointed in this phone so far.

I stopped using this call blocker since I found that once I had blocked a call on this blocker I would follow the steps to unblock a given number and it never unblocked that number. I switched instead to the Digitone Call Blocker and have had no problem with it.So I didn't really answer your question - only alerted you to problems that I had with this. Since I have discarded this call blocker (for the reasons I gave above) I no longer have mine available to answer your question. But I did give you my closest approximation.Good luck!

It's not a "feature" of the phone.If you use a voicemail feature supplied to you by your phone company, it sends a packet every 30 min as the reviewer stated. It wouldn't be annoying if it wasn't for the fact that it actually shows up in the caller ID list and thus filling your CID list with "Voice Mail" entries. On one hand it's good because it forces you to check your messages to prevent becoming annoyed by the chiming.

Hahahah....I love the announcement that I have a 'Toll Free Cay'. All toll free calls can only display 'Toll Free Ca' before it runs out of room on the display. That's EXACTLY how it's announced....'Toll Free Cay'. For most of the calls, it's pretty clear, unless the caller ID is truncated on the display.

Yes. My old Panasonic only held 10 numbers to block and this one so far has been limitless. All you do is look on the caller ID, push the save button, and it asks if you want to save it for your phone book or call blocking. I love these phones.

I no longer use this earpiece but if I recall correctly... it only announces the NUMBER calling NOT the contact name stored in your phone. As for voice call using contact name stored...No to that as well. I hope this helps.

I believe the 50 names are stored in the base unit. Each handset can log a number to be saved; however, it only saves 50 regardless which handset it is saved from. I've already maxed my 50 numbers for the block list but Im guessing I can go back and delete a few that I dont get calls from anymore to free up more space. The call block is wonderful to keep the unwanted calls at bay. The only thing is the phone will ring 1 time but thats it which is better than 5-10 rings without the number being in the call block. It has greatly reduced the unwanted calls we receive! Worth every penny if you ask me. Plus the batteries for the phone are rechargeables so thats good as well. No factory battery to replace! Hope that helps you :)
