Does this thing remind that the the phone is not available for emergency calling even if you talk on a cell. Or is is only on the emergency device?

Go to their web site. They offer a $99 cellular adapter - it uses a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone.

Basically this is a dialer device that is connected to your land line. It has a mic, a speaker and a remote to be carried by the user. You program in phone numbers to be called when it is activated by the used. Say you fall some where in the house and can't get up. You push a button on the remote the phone dials the first number you programed. When the party answers, you shout for help. If no answer, it goes to the next number.

this device will only remind you that the phone line it is hooked to is unavailable while the phone is in use. Actually it is kind of annoying to hear 'this phone line is in use" from the device while you are trying to talk. But, it is nice to know when you don't have the phone back on its cradle. The best feature of this device is that it requires you to do a monthly check of the system. It gives peace of mind to know that it is functioning properly.

The device cannot be used for calls, only music. When an incoming or outgoing call takes place the music is paused and the speaker and microphone internal to the phone is used.

Well it won't load if you do not have any signal or if it is not in your contract. I don't have the phone now because it was not good for me to use. Contact your service provider if this doesn't help. Not the best phone. Never go knockoff.

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

Yes. It tries to pronounce the name. If no name is given it says the phone number. It says 'unavailable' otherwise

the phone will work when the power goes out provided that your phone company service is still on. the phone gets it power from the phone company unlike a portable unit that has a base that plugs into a wall outlet.

I think that is just the way it's designed, for privacy when you have company, for example, so they can't listen. I have not tried listening on the handset after it rings, but maybe that is how you screen the calls. Thwy have a really good customer service department, you could call them during business hours. Im curious myself now! I do like how I dont have to listen to my own outgoing message every time it picks up like my last phone. That is why I did not by a Uniden again.

First, this device will only work when you receive a call. It will not work when you place calls -- it is a design flaw of the device.If you are listening to the line in, and a phone call comes in, it will switch over to the phone.

No, not always. Today we had an extended power outage and it worked during the first hour or so, but then stopped working until the power came back on. Perhaps the phone gets some power charge via the phone line and since we only plug it into the phone jack during power outage, it loses it's charge? Not sure. Maybe if you always leave it plugged into jack it will hold charge longer?

No it does not forget during a power outage .The memory only holds a couple of hundred phone numbers . After a year or two the call blockers phone number memory fills up and the phone starts ringing again..You can not add new phone pests any more.Like during the weeks before election time. Dag Nab it !Had to answer the phone 5 times today people wanting me to vote for them.I want a automatic dialer zapping machine that can smoke a automatic dialer with the push of a button.

You need to charge your dead phone via a cord. So making a call as it is charging is possible but you will have to hold both.

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

The response someone will receive if they are outside of the voice range of the base unit is of the same urgency received if they were within the voice range but unable to speak. Our agent will first attempt to contact them over the speakerphone. If unresponsive, the agent will then initiate the emergency protocol defined by the customer that is kept on file. This typically consists of contacting either paramedics for on-site emergency assistance, or contacting a neighbor or loved one to see if they are available to assist. If the emergency contact is unavailable, we move forward in dispatching paramedics. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We thank you for considering One Call Alert.

Hi Jay-it does not. It flashes when there is an incoming call but does not stay on.

It depends on the type of phone you are using. I just still used the handset to answer or hang up the phone. It was unplugged from the phone, but it still worked to answer and hang up.

I initially had a land line. Last week I set up a Ooma phone (VOIP), and it did call out the alarm to the three designated numbers. I was able to cancel the call out during that call. So far, the only thing that is a little less reliable is if you call into the alarm during an alarm situation. It took several times to get that to work. I am satisfied with its functionality on the Ooma phone. I did install a power back up system for the phone set, router and Ooma station. So it should work during an outage for long enough to send out the call--unless cable is down too.

No predictive text and yes the name does show when you get a phone call... Now on another note it has a cover that goes over the charger port it broke off and I had to get another one from the company also the phone got wet and stopped working... I know long use this phone...
