can the sound be amplified for incoming phone calls?

I believe so, but it has been several years since I bought this phone for my Mom, and I haven't used it in quite a while.

audio boost: on or off: Improves high pitch sound from receiver, incoming calls.Volume: + or -, Ring: + or - Red Light ringer alert with standard ring.

Yes--not sure how well it works however. Doesn't seem to make much difference to me.

no you can not. I tried to do that but the best I could do is set the microphone next to my phones speaker to have the music play.

Sure. It's pretty loud and will announce incoming calls through the speaker.

It depends how your phone is set up. I would say in most cases, yes. The amplifier is connected between the phone base and the handset (corded phone). So, anything you listen to via the handset, ie. messages, people talking, etc., can be amplified. However, if your answering machine is loudspeaker only, then no, it will not work. The amp is not made for phone loudspeakers.

You would need some type of receiver/ amplifier to connect you phone to and then run speaker wire from receiver to the speaker.

If plugged in I expect so. It rings very loudly. However by default you will be in speakerphone mode when you answer

Land line and paired cell phones can all receive calls iwithout impairing. In the case of my iPhone, incoming mobile calls ring on the Panasonic with the cell phone's ring tone.

I think it is possible but it is not recommended to listen to music with that quality. Quality of the earphone is more for a clear phone conversation.

Yes you can set different tones, different volumes or no ring at all (as we do for our fax line). Our main issue is that we wish we had the ability to forward calls to someone's voice mail (and we don't with this system)

There is an earphone jack that can be run through an amplifier. Regarding the frequency specks, go here: http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/us/en/hp-chromebox-cb1-014-pc-energy-star?jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_b-002_title_r0003

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.

Stay away from this phone. If your going to try hooking up an amplified headset, it will be over powered and no one will here you.

depends on the power of the player the phones are plugged into. They can be unbearable loud if the player has the power.

No unfortunately this device can ONLY playback loaded music tracks, and thus cannot channel incoming or outgoing calls.

There is not a problem hearing the caller, I use the base, handset and speaker phone in addition to the portable, handset and speaker phone and insert an earpiece in it sometimes. All are clear and loud, they all have a volume control which I normally use at a 3 (out of 5) level

Yes this is true, but you may want to be in a place with little noise, the sound for a call and the sound for music are a bit different and if you want to hear the caller (more importantly) if you want them to hear you be in a quiet place when making the call.

Sound is loud. However when the sound is on loud it is very high pitched. The volume can be changed when on a call.
