Does this "announce" the caller ID, or does it only display it on the screen

If you have the caller's phone in the phone's directory, then it says the name of the person. Otherways it just displayes the phone number.

On my phone, the caller is identified on the hand-held screen - when the call comes in when the phone is in use, the ID shows on the hand-held screen while "ringing," then disappears if you do not pickup.

I think it does show the caller, but I am not sure about the beep. Sorry. I only had the phone for 6 months and it died.

Well, I don't know about a caller id, but another phone or computer modem works in the other port so it logically indicates a caller id unit would..

Yes, however your phone service has to have this feature turned on. The phone will capture the caller ID.

I have read the instructions several times and couldn't find any mention of how to get audio announcement of caller. Each phone shows the origin or name of the caller but you have to look at the phone.

The LCD display will show caller ID info if you have that feature through your phone service. When I had basic land line service(no caller ID) it did not display caller info, when I switch a VoIP phone service that included caller ID, it started showing caller info.

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

It shows the number of who is calling unless you have the person in your directory. If the person is in your directory, it tells you the name. Of course I have Magic Jack so if you have regular telephone service the name may come up, but I only see the number.

Yes, it does have the voice announced caller ID. It is limited to the base station as well

Quoting from the manual that comes with this phone "This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details." Net-net: if you now have Caller ID, this phone will display it. If you don't now have Caller ID, this phone won't display it unless you add Caller ID as a feature to your phone service. By the way...this really is a great phone set and I am one fussy guy.

The Caller id is displayed on the receiver when the phone rings. You do not have to pick up the phone to see the callerid. The caller id is on the outside of the receiver which displays while the phone is hung up. Once you pick up the phone, the call is connected as it is not like a cordless phone.

You can store numbers from the caller id list to your directory, which means you can change the names of the callers and the phone will announce the name that is tied to that number. I am assuming that you do have caller id through your carrier. For example: the name is Doe Susan - you changed it to Susan and the phone will announce Susan

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

The phone call is connected immediately but does not show who is calling on the caller id

It does both. But the announcement cn get somewhat annoying if you get lots of telemarketing calls. But you can set times to turn it off when it rings. But its a great phone and I loved once I figured out how to turn off the announcement. The caller ID also shows up on your Flat Screen if you are able to connect..we use Dish or Direct.
