I bought this for my dad several years ago and don't like that it doesn't have a speaker phone. Do the newer models have one?

I don't believe it does. The rationale in the design of the phone is for the user to be able to read the caller's message not to be hands free. That being said if you go to the FAQs on the CapTel website there is a program that you can download which would allow you to be hands free. There is also a lot of good information about hearing loss and other available devices.

No there is no speaker built in. It does not have "blue tooth".I wasn't aware when I bought it. There is a package with a portable included available at Amazon.

I believe you can choose which line on either phone. And it does have a speaker.

The portable handsets have a speaker phone. There is a button on the front of the phone, very bottom on the left hand side. It looks like a sideways cane tip and has three curved half circles after it. Just press that and you can use the speaker phone. Hope I explained that so it makes sense.

Yes, there is a speakerphone function, but I find it handier to use a bluetooth headset instead. Much handier and you can leave the phone in your pocket.

Yes, it has a speaker but it is a very poor one and volume is low at max setting. I bought a $20 speaker (bluetooh and wired connector) at Big lots and now the tablet has a great sound. I bought this mainly to listen to my Spotify collection. There are also apps that can enhance external speaker sound.Otherwise I think this is a very good value tablet

No, the speaker function is by far the weakest feature on this product. My hearing is not bad and sometimes I really have to listen to get the message. Otherwise this is a great phone.

Yes. However my elderly mother has found it difficult to use. None of us can figure out how to use speaker phone, something she really needs

Yes, my phone has a speakerphone function. Plus, I can report that my previous reception problems were solved by moving the base-station away from my computer. The phones work beautifully.

Yes it comes with speaker phone option and does come with an owner's manual. It's been a great starter Android for me!!

Yes, it does have a speaker, although sound quality is better with earbuds.

Yes it does have a speaker. The radio comes with a antenna wire that plugs into the headphone jack if you want to listen to it through the speaker. The antenna wire looks like the wire on your headphones - very flexible and thin.

Yes it does have speaker phone on both.The buttons are unique in that they are not separate buttons. More like flat surface with press-ability.Takes some getting used to.The remote handset is on the small side of average, doesn't hold btwn my shoulder & ear well at all.Not my favorite phone, but functional.

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

Yes, it does and it's one of the features I needed in the phone. Speakerphone works well also.

Besides the differences in connectivity, the "newer model" does not have speakers and this one does. Jim
