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.

Yes, you can, but the answering machine doesn't play messages out loud as they are being recorded.

Yes, but this printer misbehaves. Messages keep popping up on my screen for no reason when I'm not using it.

yes. You can turn off any of the ringers or all of them and calls will go to the answering machine.

All incoming messages are captioned, so if someone calls and you are not home the message they leave is captioned.Any welcoming or outgoing messaes are not captioned.I hope this helps.

The call is not private any extension can answer and here the conversation. So you don't need to transfare the call

No, there is no way to leave a message. It is a "digital bell" to announce that someone is at the door.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

Yes. There is a lighted button on the front of the machine, right above the words VTECH that allows you to turn off the answering machine.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can set a soft-switch in the menu so that if you're on a call to an outside line other handsets can't pick up on that call. I hope this helps! Bob

I have tried answering a call or pushing the "accept" button and you cannot interrupt the message cycle. However, if the caller presses "O" the box rings with a discernible tone and you can pick up the call and you can accept it and add it to the white list at that time. If you know you will be getting a call you can turn the blocker off temporarily.

That depends on your service provider or PBX. They will usually give you a code to dial. There is no message button on the phone

I do not think this is an option. I think it only dials the programmed phone numbers. However the manufacturer might tell you if there is an intercom type option.

Yes. It does allow incoming calls to your answering machine. I tested that the 1st day I had it. Also it will call you after you set it each time, but I now find that as agood feature since it lets me know it is activated. I simply hit "ignore call" on the way out my door.

I've never used the answering machine. There is a little light on the answering machine that probably blinks for a voice message.
