Yes it does, BUT it only pronouces what is shown on display, such as abreviations which are at times hard to understand!

Yes this phone does have caller announce. It can be turned off and on. It is very clear. The only thing is that it only announces what is available on the caller ID. For instance if a call comes in as a cell call it states that it is a cell call. Now at this point (I just thought of it) I am unaware if you have programmed in someones name if it still says "cell call"or if it goes by what you programmed into your phone book for that number. Interesting thought ... more on my to do list, lol. But I hope I have covered your question.

Hahahah....I love the announcement that I have a 'Toll Free Cay'. All toll free calls can only display 'Toll Free Ca' before it runs out of room on the display. That's EXACTLY how it's announced....'Toll Free Cay'. For most of the calls, it's pretty clear, unless the caller ID is truncated on the display.

The phone does have caller announce. The only problem I have with the voice is that if the caller is listed as letters, such as USA the voice will read "yousa" as if it's a word. Also, some English words are pronounced strangely, in that Utah is pronounced "Oohtah".

Yes it does announce the caller and the announcement is pretty clear. But if you have friends with the non traditional names like I do, then the names sound a bit off half the time. Other than that, the feature is all good. You can turn off the announcement if you want, too.

These phones do have caller announce and it is loud and clear. The only thing I noticed is it doesn't always announce when it's a local call. We do love the phones and there is no static on the line.

No idea. Since AT&T; was charging us an exorbitant amount for a land line, we switched to a cell phone and run it (via Bluetooth) through this unit.

I don't think so. The only on/off "announcement" option I see is "Called ID talk" - which always says "Call from STATE-NUMBER-NAME"

Yes, It does announce the caller which is the main reason I purchased this phone.

Yes it does. If the caller has blocked caller ID Number then it will say nothing. If the caller has blocked their name then it will announce the number.

It will receive voice commands but doesn't hear what I say very well.I don't know about call announce.

No, it only announces the caller's phone number. Still a great deal for the price. I have two.

Yes it does. You control how loud it rings and how loud the other person sounds on the receiver. One thing I didn't like was that when someone calls, the phone speaks the name of whoever is calling, however this at&t brand isn't clear at all at pronouncing the words correctly. It sounds like gibberish 80% of the time. PANASONIC is the best at sounds all around.

It does not have caller ID. I purchased it strictly for it's clear sound, with no concern for added features.

No! And don't buy this phone if you can help it! It's difficult to set up, does not allow you to record the outgoing announcement for the answering machine and won't allow you to delete 'some' of the messages but ALL of the messages.
1325362
No, it doesn't. As applicable, display shows incoming" phone# and caller's name" or "unavailable" or "private caller".

Yes it does, I have had this phone since March and I have been very happy with my purchase.

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.

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...

I am not sure what announcement monitor is...??? But you do have to listen to message when the answering machine answers. I am not sure if you can turn that off. But you want to listen to people when they call you you can screen the calls...
