When I have inbound call on my Pantec II phone the screen shows caller's name and SILENT which means I can not hear the call on the other end.

Typically that means there is something stuck in the microphone or the headphone jack.

I really don't know, but I know when I receive calls with "No Name" they're usually calls from Telemarketers. Maybe you can call your telephone service provider and ask them.

Hi J. Amos, I've had this phone for almost one year now and have had no problems with "call waiting" or anything else. I love this phone!

Mine does not announce at all but it is supposed to, I use this phone at my business and will go back to Panasonic phones when this dies as the phones are not as good as the Panasonic phones I have had before.

That is more of a phone company option, e.g., caller ID and call waiting - I have both through the cable company and while I can hear the beeps from a second caller, the second caller ID does not show up. I'm not sure if that's a phone company issue vs. the phone. Overall. still love the phone.

That seems odd, that one handset could differentiate incoming calls as mobile or land line. The base station has a call-block feature that allows you to store up to 30 phone numbers to be blocked - which would also block those same numbers to each handset. I use this feature to filter spammers like, "Hello, this is Rachael, this your last chance to receive lower interest rates on your Credit card, etc. " and to filter political calls that relentlessly seek donations. You might go into the Call Block option and make sure phone numbers are not blocked that you did not intend to block. The feature can be accessed from any handset under Initial Settings/Call Block. If your batteries are more than a couple of years old, I'd replace them with new AAA NI-MH that can be purchased anywhere - and you will probably find batteries now have higher amp/hour capacity than your original batteries. If that does not fix the problem, you can use the new batteries in any handset that gets weak quickly during longer phone calls. Have you checked to be sure the handset is not set to "sleep" or not ring during certain hours? I use this often on the handset near my bed. Calls will come in but ring only at the base station and other handsets. It's called Silent Mode in the menu under Initial Settings. Another option would be to call Panasonic and ask if the handsets have some sort of reset procedure, but I doubt that they have a reset. Sorry I don't have any definitive answer. I have six handsets and they have been 100% reliable. However, I replaced some of the older batteries when the handset acted weird or faded during longer conversations.

My phone is on silent mode. When someone calls I don't hear the message and I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to hear the message if it was in standard mode. The only reason I even have the phone is because my cable bundle comes with telephone. It is a nice phone though with lots of nice features!

Mine does show who is calling. You may want to check with your phone company. I have trouble connecting new hand sets. I wish I went with a Panasonic:(

It does not announce who the caller is. You need to look at your phone to see specifically who is calling.

If you have the Operating Instructions, go to pages 33-34. I do not answer a call if I do not know the number or the call. If I suspect an unwanted call, per answering machine or whatever, I jot the # from the CD button. Then ,using my handset, hit MENU-#-217, and follow the on screen instructions. I really advise going to www.panasonic.com and get a copy of the Operating Instructions for other ways to block if you do not have your own copy.

Caller ID appears on the second ring. When you lift receiver, call is connected. No button to push.

I have the same problem. I think the problem is that my name is not displayed on caller ID, and why that is I can't answer. Sorry I don't have a solution. Very frustrating, especially since I travel a lot and need to use someone else's phone to call my own home!

The headset has never announced the name for incoming calls for me. I believe this is because the phonebook was never downloaded from the phone to the headset when it was set-up/paired. I was using it with a G2X first, now I'm using it with a Samsung S4.

contrary to all the phones documentation the word "speaker" DOES NOT appear on my phone when a call has been received.

I actually have noticed this as the caller on the other end, and then some other times I don't hear the echo as the caller. I am not sure as to why it happens.. maybe they have both cordless phones on and near each other? Next time I call and I hear the echo I will ask if they have more than one phone on.

I am not sure. What I am sure of is that no one can hear me when I talk. I have attempted to Contact them several times with no answer

Yes, this model has a feature that when turned ON, it will block all incoming calls that have no caller id. That includes calls that show as "UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE", "-----------", etc. For more information on how to activate this feature, check item 6.0 in the manual: http://hqtelecom.com/TLock-Pro-CallBlocker-N2-UserManual.pdf.
