Does the answering machine give an audible sound when you have a message or does it just have a flashing light? I need one that sounds off!

No, it does not make an audible sound, at least as far as I can tell. It has red LED that blinks when you have a message. The LED might get my attention if the machine was sitting in the middle of the room but otherwise it's too easy to miss. I'd would prefer a nice loud beep rather than a passively blinking LED. Hope this helps.

No answering machine but it is loud, has the large blinking light on the handset, large enough number buttons, and we really like it.

Yes, when there is a new message, the machine sounds a beep every once in a while (about every minute), along with flashing a small light. Once you listen to the message the beep and the flashing stop.

Hi --yes, there is an amber light that flashes if you have a voicemail. I found the user manual online. Here is what they say about it -- hope it helps: Listening to voice mail messages The unit lets you know that you have new voice mail messages in the following ways: - "New Voice Mail" is displayed on the handset if message indication service is available. - The message indicator on the handset flashes slowly if the message alert feature is turned on.

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.

Hi Janice- your mileage will vary depending on your phone provider, but ours does light up when there is a voicemail- or it flashes. We don't seem to know what the difference between the flash and the steady light means. We really like the phone- the only thing I would add is a backlight to the display.

Yes it does. Mine seems a bit hard to hear. I must stand directly over the base unit to hear clearly. I can however play messages from the hand units. A flashing light lets me know there is one or more messages waiting. I hope this helps.

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.

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.

It is only lit when I am on the phone. I use an earpiece and answer the calls by the button on the earpiece. I hang up the calls with the same button. It only lites while I am on the conversation. Hope that helps.

When a new message has been received, both hand units flash orange (or whatever the color) until you listen to the message. After the message has been played, the flashing color goes off. However, the base unit, which has a counter of messages, keeps the counter as the number of messages on the machine until you delete it/all messages.

I Have not heard an audio sound. It does flash and has a number of how many messages.

Yes, a blinking red light. But that light will stay on forever unless you "clear" the call manually on the machine itself (which is a chore if you get a lot of robocalls that you prefer to ignore).

Yes it does but it will not flash the blinking light if you have a voice mail. It only flashes if you use the answering machine built into the system. The way you will know you have a voicemail is when you pick mit up you will hear the little beeping sounds.

There is no alert tone. there is a subtle, blinking, red light that you can see if you look directly at and down on the master. There is a blinking, yellow light on each ot the handsets. They do tell you when the call was made.

Yes! As Joseph S. said, it can take some trial & error, after a message is saved or deleted, move the volume button on the side of the receiver upward, and the light will stop flashing.
