After announcing "This is an Emergency Call", the Freedom Alert program asks the call receiver (person or machine) to press the number 5 on their phone or it will call the next number on the list. Obviously, the phone answering machine cannot press the #5, so the Freedom Alert calls the next number. Your answering machine will record the "Please press number 5" message, so even later on when you get the message, you your family member or friend was in trouble.

The system will roll to the next number because the system is 'listening' for the receiver of the call to press a '5' on their phone and the answering machine will not do that. If you need more assistance go to www.TNTAlert.com

The system is sophisticated enough not to be hung up by that fact. Once a connection has been made, about 15 seconds into the call a message is played: "This is an emergency call; to continue this call, press 5 now. Otherwise, we will hang up and call the next contact or the emergency operator." If 5 is pushed by the person receiving the call, the call continues. If 5 is not pushed, the FreedomAlert hangs up and continues to the next number programmed into the system. This makes sure that the call has been picked up by a person who wants to help rather than by an answering machine or young child. The system is sophisticated enough not to be hung up by that fact.

If you have call waiting, and you are on a call and another call comes in, it will beep. Since it only works when the phone is off hook (handset is off the phone cradle) it cannot ring when there is an incoming call. The phone will ring, and then you need to remove the handset from the phone for the headset to connect. I think that with the handset lifter you can answer and pick up the call from the headset, but I do not have the lifter so I cannot answer fully. The Plantronics website has more details on how this works

The call supersedes the music, your player will Pause just as it would if you were listening to music and received a phone call. The call will also play through your vehicles speakers.

No, when a cellular phone has been registered to the system its incoming calls can not use this system's answering machine. Only the cellular companies voice mail service.

Yes. The phone is just acting as a convenient handset. The call is still going through your cellular carrier.

I actually like this feature as I know who is calling before picking up the handset. To answer your question if the answering system is set to two rings the unit does not announce the caller. If "Toll saver" feature is on, the unit does not announce the caller. The unit does announce the caller if the caller information is stored in the phonebook. I hope this helps.

Yes, this is how your system is connected to the telephone system. Because of this, when you are using your landline to make a phone call, the machine will remind you that the machine cannot work while the line is busy.

I have both. I set the answering to three rings and the calls are picked up by my machine first

Yes...It gives me the date and time and phone number that called. This is part of your Voice mail carrier, and if they don't provide it then you will not hear it when retrieving your message.

Follow the instructions to hook up the answer machine with the fax. It works great!!! If the call is a fax the fax machine picks up; if the call is a voice call and you don't answer it it will go to the answer machine that you attach to the fax.

Yes, when you push the green talk button the phone answers the call.When the phone is ringing on the base if you pick up it answers too.I don't have the call waiting service.

Yes... And it will pick up incoming calls and stop music...and return to music once the call has ended.

Yes. You have to set the number of rings before your phone kicks over to the voice mail high enough so that the phone company answering system can catch your call before your phone does.

When a phone call comes in, it speaks just the name you see on caller ID, not the number. It does this in-between rings.

The phone is connected to the incoming caller immediatly when you lift the receiver. On the outside of the receiver is the caller ID, letting you see who is calling before you decide to answer.

Answering service or machine will work just fine if set up according to the directions. I haven't tried calling the system, it usually initiates the calls.

When your phone rings you'll push the button on the Jabra to answer. The same to hang up.
