is it quiet enough to talk on the phone? I have a lot of conference calls

Yes, especially if walking at 2 mph or less. I use my treadmill desk primarily while video chatting and it works great!

I do alot of conference calls as well and go to meetings; both on my desk phone with a headset or more often on my cell (iphone). I have no issue with noise and I walk at 1.8 to 2.0 mph. I do keep my phone on mute however until it's my turn to talk but this is often standard with conference calls & GoToMeetings even when not on a tread! :-) Hope that's helpful.

Yes, it absolutely is. If you are moving at about 3 mph; I would suggest an hands free headset.

Yes, it's very quiet. Also, it depends on the shoes you're wearing. The lighter the shoes, the better but strictly speaking of the motor itself, it is very quiet. I hope this helps!

the handset has aa button that increases sound..not sure if that is what you mean by speaker phone. it is probably not strong enough for a conference phone.

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

I said the volume of the phone goes as high as 5 and it's not very loud. When I am talking In the phone it goes into a lot of static and people say they cant hear me.

I have a home office - I have been told that people can hear me typing if I am not on mute. When I call into a conference line and announce myself, and hear myself entering the call, my voice is not crystal clear, but I can be heard and understood. I would say about 80% quality but not much noise cancellation.

I find the speaker phone is OK as long as you don't set the volume at maximum. If you do, it distorts sound. I have not used the conference phone function.

Not quite. I had to turn the mic semsitivity down to keep the audio from booming when I talked.

Yes, you have to open the power cord cover when you talk on the phone otherwise it sounds really muffled.

Yes by simply adjusting the volume down, it can be totaly silent. Hope this helps

Ditto to the other responses - you need to hold the button down to stay muted. When on long conference calls, I frequently put myself on mute and this feature's function has not been an issue because both my LAN and mobile phones have mute buttons.

The phone does have a loud setting, but I still find it difficult to hear the person I am communicating with in an environment with normal background noise. I would suggest that the purchase of a more specialized phone would be more suitable for your needs.

There is some noise depending on how hard you type. However, I type while on conference calls and have not had anyone comment (and my co-workers would comment, believe me).

It is definitely loud. My Dad is hearing impaired and has no problems hearing this phone. I think it is also very loud when talking on the phone as well.

Yes, it's loud enough. You can turn it into a hand-free talking device as well.

No, you will not hear anything different on the Edge. Just make sure your phone is on mute. I have several conference calls a week and frequently put the phone on mute with my ear piece in, so I can have other conversations.

no, it's not quiet enough for an office. i use it in my bedroom for the noise.
