Can you turn off the feature where it announces who's calling out loud?

I dont think we can turn off this feature and I jave not looked into that as I liked this feature

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

This feature is discussed on page 29 of your Operating Instructions Handbook. It is referred to as "Talking Caller ID" and it directs one to page 24, which shows how it is turned on/off.

I happen to like this feature, so I never looked into turning it off. I can decide if I want to answer the phone, since Robo calls and solicitors now only show a phone number when they call.

Yes it's clear , but don't buy if you actually want people to hear you when you call them

You have to mute the tv if you don't want other people in the room to hear what you are listing to.

Yes. It only shows up when you are already speaking on the phone and it is one of the "soft" buttons - i.e. it shows on the display and you press the bar underneath it to mute or unmute. I hope this helps.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

Yes, but each headset and the base unit has the capability of independently having this feature turned on or off. So you can have all the phones announce caller ID or select which phones you want to announce or turn them all off and not have announce caller ID on at all.

Yes, the talking caller ID can be shut off on either or both the base unit and the handset. In fact the ladies voice is robotic and not very pleasant. Pronunciation is bad.

It is not a voice announce and if it has it I have not found it. However, my caller id does pop on my TV so I can screen my calls that way. However, we are very happy with this on all levels.

Hi Elsie, Yes you can turn off talking caller ID. thru options in the menu. Please see Ambar B;s answer (Feb.6) to see how. It;s not hard. Good luck. R.M.

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will stillregister all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls).If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" forenglish and in service.

Hi, Not sure if you can disable the talking feature, but you can lower the volume.

No, I do not know how to turn off the voice. But the voice does not bother me.

That is extremely annoying, but there is a way to do it. If I remember right, there are settings in the skype program that disable it. I will double-check where they are tonight, but it can be done. It drove me nuts too.

Ha ha. Of course it has a mute button! Only it's called "stop". Or you can just unplug it.

Yes you can. Go into the Caller ID menu, there is a "talking caller ID" selection which can be turned off byscrolling to off and then hitting "save".

Yes you can silence the talking caller ID without affecting the calling ID on the phone screen

That is not a feature I have noticed. I have always turned it off when done listening and don't remember seeing it with info I received when purchased.
