When using the intercom from one handset to the next, can you set it to auto-answer that you can speak without anyone picking up the phone?

We regret to inform you this system requires the handset to be answered prior to speaking from another. Full details can be found in the below link. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/telephone/om/kx-tg9541_kx-tg9542_om.pdf#page=31

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.

Yes, when you set it up you have that option. What I don't know is how to set it up so I can stop the incoming message by picking up the phone--think that's a problem with my phone setup, not the machine. I have splitters, used to work with old machine, but now I think have to rearrange the splitter situation.

There is a mute button on phone base. And you can turn vol. all the way down on handset.

You can call any of the handsets from other rooms and talk to each other on the intercom setting. I love these phones they work great and serve my purpose very well. They are clear and I have no problems with them. I bought them for a voip phone setup in my house I needed 3 wireless phones and these are the best ones I found for the price and they work GREAT!

yes you can, you just go to menu and select initial settings, scroll to talking caller id and push select, then select either on or off. you can have one on and the others off, its up to you on a per handset basis. It really is a nice phone and it goes all the way to my neighbors;(we live in a trailer park) without crackeling or any type of distortion. :) hope this helped!

Yes, but I'm pretty sure if someone is on one handset, another person cannot check missed calls or voicemail on another. I have been very satisfied with this purchase. The voice announcements of an incoming call are mostly unintelligible but I find them hilarious.

Yes. Via the intercom. Pressing the intercom causes the other phone to make a noise. You answer it like you would a regular call. Person one tells you there is a call and I believe they just hang up and you're still connected to the call. You can also conference call this way.Page 38 of the Users Guide.

Both the base unit and the handsets have a mute function. However it is not a button, but rather a soft key that shows up on the menu during a call.

Yes. There is a Multi-function button on top of the left ear bud that you can press to answer calls without touching your phone. It is also the power button for the device (which you hold down for 5 seconds to turn on or off).

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.

nope. it has mute and supports call waiting. and an additional handset can join an existing conversation (2 handsets + 1 outside caller); 1st handset can hang up after 2nd picks up, if desired. hth.

It's not really the handset that determines this it is the way you hook up your fax machine with Ooma and your network. Although there is a Headphone setting for auto answer you want to make sure is off so fax will answer.

Yes. We answer one one handset, and if we then pick up a second phone we are automatically conferences in.

Angela, This is a feature I never use, so I had to check it out. Selecting intercom brings up a prompt for selecting "ALL" or for selecting any one of the three other handsets. I tried it and it worked.
