Do you still have to listen to the entire incoming phone number before you can answer or ignore call. Does it announce callers name?

I do not. I am able to answer the calls by pushing the answer/hang-up button on the earpiece. It does announce the callers names as well.

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

yes you can, when a call comes in you headset will inform you of incoming call with number/contact then will ask you to say "answer or ignore" then just say answer and you will be connected, say ignore and call goes away. If you do press the button it will ask what to do, say redial and it calls last number you called, call back and it calls last incoming call, say "phone settings" and it will open phone voice settings commands.

Yes; if that person is in your contacts, it will state "call from _______ ". Or it will say the phone # and ask weather you want to "answer" or "ignore"... It's one of its very best features !

No - it is just a function of the phone. It will still ring when a blocked call comes in, but will then disconnect

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.

Yes it does announce the caller and the announcement is pretty clear. But if you have friends with the non traditional names like I do, then the names sound a bit off half the time. Other than that, the feature is all good. You can turn off the announcement if you want, too.

Yes. It does allow incoming calls to your answering machine. I tested that the 1st day I had it. Also it will call you after you set it each time, but I now find that as agood feature since it lets me know it is activated. I simply hit "ignore call" on the way out my door.

Short answer, yes. The unit uses Caller ID to identify the calls you want to block.

with my phone I can hear the name through the phone, but not through the headset. It rings in the headset, but the message as to who is calling comes through the phone.

This model does not have a built-in "Caller ID" function to block calls. I utilized my telephone company's call blocking feature (up to 12 different telephone numbers) to 'defer' undesired calls, i.e., a recording stating that the number being accessed is not available to receive incoming calls.

It only announces the number. I'm using it with an iPhone, so it may be different with other phones.

I no longer use this earpiece but if I recall correctly... it only announces the NUMBER calling NOT the contact name stored in your phone. As for voice call using contact name stored...No to that as well. I hope this helps.

You can not manually block calls by 'name'. You must enter a number. However, by default, calls like Anonymous, Out of Area, Private and Unknown displaying no phone number are blocked.

You don't hear your out going message at all. As for the incoming calls you can set any or all handsets to listen to the message called, call screening, or any or all can be turned off and the message will be recorded and you can listen to it later on any hand set. Best phone set I have ever purchased.

Yes, if you program it to block all unidentified calls, it does. It also blocks specific numbers or even whole area codes, up to the limit of its memory.

In my experience, it does not show the caller ID of the 'call waiting' caller. In my opinion, that is only a small drawback of a system that has so many other advantages. I love this phone system. Best I ever had.
