does this "chirp" like newer phones do, or ring a bell like the older phones? I can't hear high frequency chirps.

it is a ring, not a chirp. My Mom has a hearing issue and she can hear this ring.

No, actually I like this phone but I can't hear the person on the other end that good. I always have to click on Speaker to hear, but then I get static.

I know there is an android app that works with the chirp, and would assume iphone has one also. I have used the android app and it works well.

No audible signal, just flashing light on the base. Also, each extension displays "new message" in the LED display. I really like this phone and never missed an audible signal indication. Marcella

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!

The options I see for the ring are simply Hi - Low -Off. I haven't tried to set the quality of the ring sound. (Right now, I'm keeping this phone as a spare, since I like the Plantronics T10 better for most purposes.)

I do not berlieve it does. The phone is pretty basic, good, nothing fancy. Had them quite a while and the sound is still good, batteries stay charged. Never sound like I am in a tunnel.

Based on my experience, I wouldn't bother trying. When I changed the tone to any tone other than the default tone it wouldn't work ... silence ... missed a lot of calls before i figured it out. Hate to be a downer, but that's just a lousy phone in a lot of ways, I finally got rid of it.

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

It doesn't have an audible signal. There is a visual display on all handsets that indicate there is a message waiting. In addition, you can play the message on any of the handsets.

There's a choice of sound button on the chime box, (but I don't think there are chimes, only songs, which is fine with me), plus also a volume control button. It's as easy as pie. I have my ringer on the mailbox next to the door and everybody uses it.

I have the same problem. Humming that goes away on mute. I'm plugged into a DSL filter. No cell phone nearby. It's getting so that I don't want to use the phone. I'm looking for a different one to buy. Any suggestions on a telephone headset that doesn't make so much noise?

No, this telephone doesn't have an audible signal. You can setup the telephone to display that you have a new voicemail on the handsets.

I have found it only uses a Robtic voice and not a good one at that. ( unless I missed something in the Set up,but I do not think so) A plus side tho is the sound is so much better then the last phones I had.

The ringer does not come thru the speakers. If your phone rings, the music stops and all you hear is the phone ringer, when your finished with your call the music resumes. Bought this for my husband last fathers day and he loves it! It gets pretty loud and the music does not get all fuzzy or distorted when played loud...
