Does this unit dial anyone else than 911?

This unit only dials 911. Other, more expensive models can be programmed to dial multiple numbers.

Sure. It's just a small cordless phone that only dials one number (911). It will dial that one number just like any phone.

Yes, you could program 3 numbers. You could reprogram the 911 button and use that red button for someones phone number you call often. I put my phone number there so my mother can call me. The red button is easy to see.

Mine does show who is calling. You may want to check with your phone company. I have trouble connecting new hand sets. I wish I went with a Panasonic:(

You can find the information on the manufacturer's web site (http://blog.obihai.com/2011/11/calling-911-with-obi-devices.html). It is on Obihai.com

No default that I am aware of. In many major metro areas 10 digit dialing is the norm so I think we just have to get used to it.

Yes. The selling point here is the shelf life of the battery and the price, not the ability to call 911.

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

The system will continue to cycle through all 4 numbers over and over again until someone answers and presses 5 or the user stops the call. The simple answer is Yes. Click for more information > http://www.tntalert.com

Will the OBi work with existing alarm systems that use the phone line to call for help?

Yes. It announces callers by name not number. I'm using mine now and it just told me my friend was calling by full name.

I don't believe it does. What I remember is that I listened for the phone of the person it was dialing to ring. This was during testing. What I remember is it called my contacts with no pressing of the button. I never needed to press the button after I programmed and tested the instrument. Unfortunately for my contacts, the machine called them at 2 a.m. Not good for them or me because it woke them and they called me.

We set up 911 as the last number to dial if the regency button was pushed which means if none of us answer the alert 911 would be alerted. We have not tried to dial or set up 911 in any other form. I hope this helps.

Yes, the call button rings all the other units on the selected channel. So if all are set to channel 1 and you hit Call, all units will ring.

According to the manual just reenter the numbers you want and the next after the one you entered will go to 911. Didn't do it yet but will need to soon as my neighbor who is my number two spot is moving, Hope it works for you.

It is my understanding that unless the phone number is a blocked number, 911 operators can ascertain the location of the caller regardless of whether the caller is able to speak.
