There is an off switch, but I have never tried by providers answering system. I can tell you that the phone itself is marvelous. his is the 2nd DECT 6 phone system I've had. I literally gave the 1st one away because I wanted a more modern phone. They are very clear and do not drop calls. You can't go wrong. Hope this helps.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

I looked in the manual and there is nothing in there to indicate you can shut the ringer off.

No. You can turn off voice alerts but that is all. My question to you is why would you? Would you not want to know about any alerts in my living area.

Yes. I use the phone companies voice mail. You can disable the answering machine using the menu.

Yes. The ringer can be turned off by scrolling the menu until you see ringer. Once there, select ringer volume. Lower volume until ringer is turned off. I hope this helps.

yes. You can turn off any of the ringers or all of them and calls will go to the answering machine.

No, you'll have to mute it via Windows or directly in the software (like skype).

Hi, I never saw that problem. Can you answer the call from the phone and use the headset? You only need to quickly tap the multifunction button to answer the call or hang up. Too long can turn it off. If you are doing it correctly and it still turns it off, ask for an exchange before time runs out. Hope this helps.

I have the KX-TG4772 model and turned off the answering system by pressing the "Answer On/Off" button on the right side of the base unit. When the red light above the button goes off, the answering system is disabled. You can also use the handset to turn the answering system off. On the handset, press menu #328 to turn answering system off. To turn it back on, press menu #327. Hope this helps.

Yes you can, there is one button below the row of three buttons that turns it off.

Hi Tammy. There is an on off button on the headset. It actually turns off the unit, so you would not continue to hear your customer, but I do use it for muting if it's brief. Hope that helps.

Yes you can turn them all off if you want, you can also turn off the ring tone on each individual phone.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

I am not sure what announcement monitor is...??? But you do have to listen to message when the answering machine answers. I am not sure if you can turn that off. But you want to listen to people when they call you you can screen the calls...
