Yes. It has a high and low ringer. My phone is upstairs and I can hear it downstairs most of the time.

Yes, and several different ring tones. It has a display where you can text, but I have never been able to make that work. Mine is for my mom in a nursing home as she does not understand cell phones and this looks and works like a desk phone, yet you can unplug it and move about. Have had it two years and NO PROBLEMS&gt;

Not sure, but the ring is not very loud and hard to hear. I would not recommend this phone! I have Panasonic phones at work and love them. I would recommend that instead.

Therer may be, but I hate this unit so much I have not checked.I have not returned it as yet as it is my business phone. However I probably will this weekend.

No, it doesn't. The disappointing part of this phone is when the phone rings you would expect the dial to light up so that you could see the number that is calling, but it doesn't. It is very difficult to see the number. You also have to put batteries in it but it seems that the only purpose for the batteries is for memory. My opinion is this phone is worthless to me. Jim

nope, it's a pretty bare bones phone. I wanted a red old fashioned phone for my kitchen. it is perfect for that. the ringer is loud and has a bell-ness about it. it is definitely the phone I remember when I was a kid. the cord is a bit short, I'm in the market for a longer red cord. hope that helps

No, just a normal twisted pair that you would hook up to any other analog phone. The bells on the top front are only decoration (not that you would need an extra electrical hook up for working bells to normally ring, but not sure why you were asking).

I don't have a land line (but now I'm thinking i should). For the ringer, there's two old fashion bell below the base that sounded like the old bicycle horn (old fashion ring tone, easy on the ear). There's no volume control. You will love this telephone no matter what. It looks like the real thing and it's a real phone.

Yes, there are different ringer tones for the one phone line you have but not different ringer tones for different lines to let you know who is calling like a cell phone will. Use the menu key shown on the face of the phone where the time and date are displayed.

No it does not. Also the numbers don't like up. One other thing I don't like is that you can tell the last number you called but not the time or how long you were on that call... Good phone other wise...

Yes. If you turn the ringer volume off on the base, a small red light will blink (on the base) when you receive a call, and the handset will ring.

No, it is much lighter. It is a cool looking phone, but the ringer in mine stopped working in just a few months.

Oh yes, the ringer is as loud as a stock phone. The picture is misleading as there is a screened hole in the lower left of the battery pack, allowing the speaker to work just fine.

Yes it does. Its actually a really great phone it reminds me somewhat of an IPHONE. I highly recommend it.

The phone is basic - you plug it in and it works as an old phone would. It does look fantastic though, and I love it.

Not It doesn't. I like The old silver versión better than this one, it doesn't volume is not high enought!
