Talking caller ID?? In addition to the talking caller ID, does this phone also show the caller ID on the handset?

Caller ID on base and handsets; no speed dial, disappearing these days in favor of phone books, like cell phones.

No, it just shows the caller ID on the LCD display. It's a nice phone system. The only thing I wish it had is a battery for times when the electricity goes out.

Not sure why that would be mentioned...caller ID only displays on the base. Great phone...good clarity and features!

This phone system does not have "Talking Caller ID". It does have conventional Caller ID by displaying it on the LCD of the base station phone as well as on the remote phones. We use most of the functionality of this phone system, i.e., bluetooth for cell phone integration, DECT 6.0 for four remote phones plus a DECT 6.0 headset (much better than a bluetooth headset), and all work very well. We use it with a VOIP system and it has excellent voice quality both outgoing and incoming. This is our second generation of AT&T; base/remote/two-line phone systems and our excellent experience with the first generation led us to upgrade to this current generation.

I've never delved into the instruction manual, but I have to pick up and hit talk to talk. Gives you a chance to see the caller ID. Have never picked up the phone off the cradle though as I have five handsets floating around the house (Two different base stations)...

Yes it shows the number of the person calling. If that number is in your contacts it will show the name instead. Just for your info, do not put two numbers under that same contact if you want to know which number is calling, because you won't be able to tell. I make a separate contact name for each number.

Yes, it does, if the callers carrier supports it. Sometimes here in Texas, it will just say "Texas caller" without the name. It all depends. Cell companies give you the option as to what your caller ID is. Some higher models of Panasonic have talking caller ID, which calls out the name or number of the party calling. This is a great phone though.

No caller ID. I could not recommend this product. We later found that it could not be used on phone jacks in the USA. Ours ended up in the trash.

I am now on my second at&t phone set and once again I have a battery issue which made me replace the previous set in the first place! I enjoyed its functions but now I have decided to purchase a different phone set to replace it and will go with a different company this time!!! but yes you can silence the caller id by going into menu and select caller id and choose on or off to both the base or handset. if I did not have this battery issue I would highly recommend this phone.......

I already had caller ID when Ibought this, so not sure. I bought it so I could monitor OUTGOING calls (time call was made and time length of call), because it tracks that as well, whereas standard modern phones do not. Will do this on any phone jack in the house, so if you have one not being used, nobody will notice this device.

It does not tell you who is calling, nor is there a caller ID on this device. I bought it for the "Bose" quality sound, but I have heard Platronics works just as well with caller ID, with a much cheaper price tag to boot.

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

Yes this phone does have caller announce. It can be turned off and on. It is very clear. The only thing is that it only announces what is available on the caller ID. For instance if a call comes in as a cell call it states that it is a cell call. Now at this point (I just thought of it) I am unaware if you have programmed in someones name if it still says "cell call"or if it goes by what you programmed into your phone book for that number. Interesting thought ... more on my to do list, lol. But I hope I have covered your question.

No, It doesn't have caller id but you won't care - it's cuteness factor outweighs anything it doesn't have! I LOVE MINE! By the way, the clarity of the sound is amazing.

It does SHOW the name/number for a call-waiting incoming call. However, the talking caller ID only announces when it's the first call not a call-waiting.

No. It does not have caller ID. It is just a plain old corded phone. It's great to be able to slam down the hand piece to hang up on someone, for those annoying calls!! You can't do that with an iPhone!
