Find the verbal caller-id announcment on my sister's phone to be annoying and hard to understand. Can this be disabled so u just get visual ID?

Yes, under settings caller id annc. You have to disable on the base and each handset

One of the questions I got about this phone was how to shut off the audio caller ID, so I assume it has it. I never used it.

Yes go to menu curser up to initial setting select and go to talking caller id and turn it off and save. All these types of things are in menu u just have to cycle thru to find. That is what I just did. Also there is called id you can set for TV if have Verizon fios Cole thru to find

It's about 2 1/2 inches long, you can speak text...it does not have caller ID but your phone does. This unit works really great and I simply love it. I have no problem linking up to the phone and when I turn it on, the phone instantly recognizes it and prompts you to connect. It's much better than the old unit that I used to have. I hope that this helps.

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.

Not sure why that would be mentioned...caller ID only displays on the base. Great phone...good clarity and features!

The Caller ID function will show up on the screen of your phone, but the headset will not read the name to you into your ear (at least, not that I'm aware of).

When a call comes in it says "Call from [whatever is listed in phonebook]." For cell phone calls it says "Call from [state phone is from] call." If you edit the name and put it the the phones phonebook, it will say their name. It pronounces everyones name poorly. Kind of amusing. Talking caller ID can be turned off.

Mr Marks is correct. Also, I don't know if the unit blocks Anonymous calls, so if the caller is blocking his own caller ID, the unit may block it by default. If this is the case, tell him to use the key combination to temporarily disable his own outgoing caller ID block when calling you. This way the unit will get the caller ID and if it is not in the block list the call will go through.

I have never experienced that event. However, I never got the machine to block numbers that were a nuisance. I found that having ID Caller on my phone to identify the caller. If it is someone/thing I do not know, I do not answer. Works every time!

If you are subscribed to caller id, the name and number comes up on the screen.

We no longer have these phones but when we did, we also had DSL but didn't have a problem with the caller ID - it always showed up so I'm not sure I can help. Sorry that wasn't very helpful at all.

I am now on my second at&t phone set and once again I have a battery issue which made me replace the previous set in the first place! I enjoyed its functions but now I have decided to purchase a different phone set to replace it and will go with a different company this time!!! but yes you can silence the caller id by going into menu and select caller id and choose on or off to both the base or handset. if I did not have this battery issue I would highly recommend this phone.......

PPS.....everyone please IGNORE my ignorance. Page 28 on my owners manual showed me the "switch" I needed to turn on this feature to automatically reject ANY & ALL out of area or no number calls. At my age I still refuse to read a manual...had it coming I suppose :-))

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

Yes Mary W. it does have caller ID, but you have to pick it up and say; Hello, who's calling?

HI, Page 10 of the manual. Your phone service and the callers phone service must have CID caller i d activated. If the caller suppressed their CID the phone shows "p". If the number could not be id' for other technical reasons the phone shows "o" or "e" Great price sorta weird euro phone! Have a great day!
