Does it amplify the ring when someone is calling?

Yes it does but if you are trying to blast your music these speakers are not good

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.

In normal mode, all handsets ring when a call comes in. But if you have it set on auto attendant, the caller gets sent to the voice menu, and only the base unit rings first. If the base unit doesn't get answered in the set time you give it, it goes to the voice menu and the caller can select which person they want to reach and then that phone will ring.

Yes it does, sort of. You push the intercom button, then the number of the phone you want to contact, and that phone rings.

amplification adequate and I'm hearing impaired. It works with hearing aids. Announcing who is calling is not part of my unit.

No it does not. It vibrates very very loud. That is the extent. Also, it does not have voice call. Push the button and it dials the last person you called.

Yes it does, when someone call while playing music, the music will pause and it starting to ring on your stereo system. Now you can answer the call by pressing the middle silver button. One thing I dnt like it is that it doesn't have the previous/forward buttons.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

Yes, it does. It will lower your music automatically, and your Skype ring will come through. When you are done, your music volume will increase again...enjoy! :)

I do not know the answer to the question. What I do know, is that without this instrument, I would be lost trying to communicate by phone. I have to use hearing aids to communicate with other people, and this gadget makes it possible to talk by phone. The amplification is adjustable, while in use, and I have yet to turn the amplification on full blast.

I tried this yesterday when talking to my husband, and yes, it did amplify the sound of our phone conversation! This thing is fantastic! I love it!

This device will not amplify voice communications. It will amplify the ringing only.There are portable phones (wireless) that will amplify voice communications. Check online and look for clarity amplified wireless phones. I have one of these as well.Hope this helps

No, it does not. It just rings once and you have to turn it off yourself to avoid overcooking.

Yes it does. You control how loud it rings and how loud the other person sounds on the receiver. One thing I didn't like was that when someone calls, the phone speaks the name of whoever is calling, however this at&t; brand isn't clear at all at pronouncing the words correctly. It sounds like gibberish 80% of the time. PANASONIC is the best at sounds all around.

with my phone I can hear the name through the phone, but not through the headset. It rings in the headset, but the message as to who is calling comes through the phone.

No. It has adjustable ringer volume, adjustable earpiece volume and it supports "Flash" which allows you to answer an incoming call while on another call (but only if you have that service from your phone company)

I am sorry I don't have the answer to your question as I have my cell phone connected to the phone. I have trouble hearing my cell phone ring at times as this way I can hear it ring clearly. I hope you can find the answer you need.
