Is the phone call coming in connected immediately after lifting the receiver or do you have to press an answer button before the call is connected?

When answering the phone, just pick it up and it connects. No other buttons to push.

The phone call is connected immediately but does not show who is calling on the caller id

If you ordered the phone lifter then you can answer it with your headset. If you don't then you will have to lift the handset.

It lifts the handset up to make the phone go off-hook when the Headset button is pushed to answer a call. It all has an adapter to listen for ring tone if the phone does not transmit it through the cord.

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.

No button pushing --- the incoming call is shown and you screen before you pick up.

The friend I found this phone for uses Verizon voice mail, and didn't want the answering machine to pick up first. Just set the pick up sequence so the phone doesn't answer or turn it off completely.

Yes, this happens to me atleast once or twice a week. I also have to press the talk button several times before the phone answers an incoming call, sometimes it hangs up on me when I do this. We are not happy at all with this phone. I have another phone hooked up next to this phone that I use sometimes even though I can't hear good with it, that's how bad it is.

Yes, it is ready to use as soon as it arrives. I just dialed *228 from the phone and it connected me directly to the verizon automated activation center. Just takes a couple steps and the phone is all set to go.

you have to press the call button on handset first then the photo button. This item was just what we needed, my 84 yr old mom has no problem using this once we went through it a couple times.

Follow the instructions to hook up the answer machine with the fax. It works great!!! If the call is a fax the fax machine picks up; if the call is a voice call and you don't answer it it will go to the answer machine that you attach to the fax.

It automatically recognizes the voice commands, "answer" or "ignore"; in fact, if you DON'T want it to do that you have to disable voice commands. To get it to allow you to tell it the number to call, you press the "Call" button 2 seconds, wait for the prompt & then tell it the name of the stored contact to call. Hope this helps!

Press the speaker as it is the answer and end call button. Press the speaker twice and it dials the last number called. Press and hold the speaker and it activates voice response if your phone has that capability.

You have to press like for 3 seconds and it will say "waiting for connection" so you pair it with your advice, and it will tell you "connected" to turn it of you press for like 3 seconds again and it will make a sound. :)

It has a mute button that I use as my hold button. You cannot answer two calls at once. I do in home incoming sales calls and it is perfect.

I can't answer that. My experience has been excellent. I've hit the button om my device by accident several times and I got a response instantly.
