nope. it has mute and supports call waiting. and an additional handset can join an existing conversation (2 handsets + 1 outside caller); 1st handset can hang up after 2nd picks up, if desired. hth.

Yes, indeed there is a mute button. It is located between the volume and channel buttons, under the recall button.

No it did not. You only have one button t h at allows you to pause if you have music playing or pick up/hang up a call.

The headset itself does not have a button where you can place a call on hold. It does have a mute button however you would have to actually place a call on hold using your desk-top telephone (if your phone has the capability.)

No, you can't put it on hold, but you can mute the sound, so for the caller it would be like being on hold.

sorry, you can just put the phone on pause I think............have never used that option. no reason to.

Yes it has a mute function. I found it a little tricky to make sure it was working but it does work. Practice makes perfect.

The hold option plays music when you put someone on hold. always worked for me, unless you need complete silence when placing them on hold,

Great question, I own these phones & I love them! However, it does have a weird hold music, I'm sure I can change...I just haven't had the time to look into it.

When you are on an active call, one of the buttons on the handset (upper right) becomes a mute button. (It's like the keys on cell phones that do different things depending on the mode the phone is in.) I do not see any mute button on the base of the phone.

No speaker phone-Hold works with each line separately Note: With use there is static in receiver--it's coming from cradle switch--just jiggle the switch and it goes away--took phone apart but could not find a simple fix.

You are able to mute a call by pressing the volume down button for 1 second but I've never actually had to use it so I can't say how well it works.

No, it doesn't. The caller will still hear you after you press the pause button. There isn't a way to place the caller on hold, just mute. They will hear a click when you press mute, so may think you hung up. They will not hear you until you press mute again. They will not hear when you unmute yourself.

Yes. It's the top right button. "Mute" lights up on the screen when the call is made, then you press the top right button to mute.

We've never tried to use silent mode. Do you have call blocking? We don't, so I wouldn't expect it to work.

There is a mute button on phone base. And you can turn vol. all the way down on handset.
