Can you turn off the talking caller id?

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!

I don't think so. The only on/off "announcement" option I see is "Called ID talk" - which always says "Call from STATE-NUMBER-NAME"

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.

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

Yes. Menu, #, 1,6, 2,,,O for off. My question to you is:Why did you buy this specific unit if you didn't want talking caller I'd?

Yes, you can shut it off. It will still show the missed calls and also, with our phone company system, shows how many messages you have on their system for each line.

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will still register 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" for english and in service.

You can set the handset either to answer when you lift the handset off the base or not answer until you push the "talk" button. So, if you have it set to not answer until you push talk you can read the caller ID without answering. (On each handset...go to "settings" on the screen and scroll to "auto answer", then select "yes" or "no" )

There is a menu option called Call Sharing. Turn it off to keep other phones from hearing/joining in. It comes turned ON, so if you want all your calls to be private, turn it OFF.

There is the capability of silencing the ring tone, however,one must reactivate the ring tone manually. No know call blocking feature. One may set the ring tone to off for callers that block their number(s). Hope this helps. Overall we are pleased with this product.
