If you're on the phone and another call comes in does the caller ID show the new caller's ID? Does the base unit beep when there is an unread message?

Yes! Then if you want to answer it you simply click the green phone answer button and it switches over to that call while the former caller can wait until you click back over or they can hang up.

Yes the phone will beep and you can see the callers name and number;don't use the anwering machine because I have that feature on my phone service,but if more thanvone reciever is in use if the line should beep you can still click over without having to hang on of the phones up.

Yes you can see when another call is coming me and the light blinks to let you have a message.

Sometimes it will show the ID of call waiting and yes it does notify you of new messages if that is selected. You can turn this feature on or off.

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.

Yes it does have caller id. As your phone is ringing it will announce to you discreetly in your ear who is calling.

That depends on the plan you subscribe to with your service provider. We have that plan and this phone shows caller ID and works with call waiting.

The incoming number and caller ID are displayed when the phone rings and the number remains for a couple of seconds after answering the phone. After 2 or 3 seconds the incoming number is then replaced by a phone timer that shows the number of seconds the call has lasted... So while you are talking all that is displayed are called ID (If available) and the timer.

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.

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.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

This phone system does not have "Talking Caller ID". It does have conventional Caller ID by displaying it on the LCD of the base station phone as well as on the remote phones. We use most of the functionality of this phone system, i.e., bluetooth for cell phone integration, DECT 6.0 for four remote phones plus a DECT 6.0 headset (much better than a bluetooth headset), and all work very well. We use it with a VOIP system and it has excellent voice quality both outgoing and incoming. This is our second generation of AT&T base/remote/two-line phone systems and our excellent experience with the first generation led us to upgrade to this current generation. We're very happy with this phone system.

No, It will only tell you the phone that the call is on (you can pair more than 1 phone to it). for example: "Call on Phone One"It only does caller ID for Text Messages.

Yes, you can set the base unit to beep when there in a new message. The beep is not loud & it's volume cannot be changed, but it's loud enough to heat...

No, it just shows the caller ID on the LCD display. It's a nice phone system. The only thing I wish it had is a battery for times when the electricity goes out.

Yes, it announces the Caller ID name. A call from a mobile phone is announced "Call from cell phone IL or IN or whatever state the area code is from ". Other calls are announces with the name that shows in Caller ID.

Yes, there is a visible alert that there are new messages. As soon as you pick up a phone it tells you to play new message. As you are listening to the messages it tells you from whom and when the call was received. I have to tell you that I have had this phone system in my home for quite a while now and love it. I was so impressed with it that I bought a system for both of my children that live in other states and we have very long, very clear conversations on them. I would recommend these phones to anyone looking for just an easy to use phone that is clear and convenient.

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 have the unit connected to the phone base unit. If you carry the phone elsewhere, you won't see it, but it still displays the calling number.

No, it only announces the caller's phone number. Still a great deal for the price. I have two.

I already had caller ID when Ibought this, so not sure. I bought it so I could monitor OUTGOING calls (time call was made and time length of call), because it tracks that as well, whereas standard modern phones do not. Will do this on any phone jack in the house, so if you have one not being used, nobody will notice this device.
