Can the phone be set to remind you, say every few minutes, that you have an unread message if you did not hear the alert when the text first came in?

Yes it can, right in the settings menu. You can choose from 2mins, 5mins or 10mins.

Yes. after a few seconds you will hear "this is an emergency call , please press (I forget the number). this way the machine knows you are not voice mail. If you don't answer or it goes to voice mail , it moves on to the second phone no. that you programmed

Yes we can check messages, the light will be blinking on top left corner, then you just have to press the play button on right side under screen. We are having problems with our handsets not ringing and have went through sequence in manual to solve that problem. So far nothing has worked if anyone has an idea how to solve problem, would appreciate advice. Thanks

Yes, we set my moms up to alert my cell phone first, both of my sisters second and third etc. we test it monthly and it always works.

Yes, it works great for time and phone call alerts. I had hoped it would alert you of an incoming text, but it doesn't.

Yes if you have a separate answering machine or voice mail service which automatically picks up after a designated number of rings (even though you don't hear them). This phone does not have an integral answering machine

This is one of the issues with this phone - the red light flashes (very dimly) when calls are missed, not only when messages are left. I do not use the built-in voicemail, so I don't know if the light just stays on when a message is left, while flashes if you missed calls.

No, just a flashing red light when you have a message that hasn't been heard.

Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

As far as I am aware, no. It does however, have an led notification light which will pulse until the missed text or call is noticed.

When an imcoming call is received it will notify: "call from <incoming phone number> say 'answer' or 'ignore'

Nope. If you happen to be in the house you can hear the message being made but that's it. It just blinks otherwise. However you CAN dial in from your cell phone, plug in the code and pick up your messages remotely. I like that feature. Hope this helps & season's greetings.

You can change the message. But it will only remember one message at a time.

the phone lights up and shows the text or the phone call on the home screen and it stays on even when the screen turns off after few seconds, I think you can customize for how long the screen remains lit, otherwise you'll see the missed call or text as soon as you press the home button.
