If an answering machine picks up, will it go to the next phone number?

The Freedom Alert goes to the next number after x number of rings, I think it's 5 rings. So you just need to set your answering machine to pickup after 5 rings to solve that problem. I purchased this system for my father who is disabled and likes to try to do things on his own. He has already fallen and has had to use it and it worked great.

Yes it goes to next number. It is a good machine but sometimes the person answering doesn't press the acknowledge (5) button fast enough and it hangs up and goes to the next.

Yes, it has the ability to distinguish between answering machine and real person. This device has saved us twice already and has paid for itself. Looked all over the market and this is the best technology at the moment. Can accept multiple modules as well, such as shower, bathroom, in addition to the pendant. You can program up to 4 contacts with the option of 911 at the end of the list. Or you can go straight to 911. The person can even answer the phone and talk from the pendant. Good luck!

Yes It does a human test; when you answer it will tell you to dial a number. Your answering machine can't do that so it knows to move on the next number.The person with the remote can actually answer their phone with it as well saving them from walking across the room to get the phone.

Yes. However, it will need one additional ring until the answering machine picks up, since the Call Blocker 'mutes' the first ring. (The Caller ID is sent by the phone company in between the first and second ring.) If you have the answering machine on another phone outlet on the same line, it will work as usual.

We use the Verizon answering service, so I can't say for sure. My guess is you plug the answering machine into the ringer, then the phone into the answering machine.

Machine detects whether the call is a fax or voice call after 2 rings. If a fax, call is received. If a voice call, handset continues ringing until answered or caller hangs up. This is from page 61 of operation guide. Hope it answers the question.

Messages are left on your cell phone in that case. Only phone calls directly to you home phone number that are not answered are left on your home phone answering machine (assuming that you have "Answering On".

The system will continue to cycle through all 4 numbers over and over again until someone answers and presses 5 or the user stops the call. The simple answer is Yes. Click for more information > http://www.tntalert.com

I've never used the answering machine. There is a little light on the answering machine that probably blinks for a voice message.

If you have the number stored in your phone it will tell you when the person calls. If the number isn't saved it just tells you that there is a call and does not tell you the number.

Hi. It will if you create a prepaid account. You will be assigned a number.

Yes it responds with the name or phone number dependent upon what is stored in your phone.

When a call comes in, the phone will announce a callers name if it is in your programmed contact list otherwise it announces the calling number. For missed calls the number is saved whether or not they leave a message until you erase it.

Set the answering machine to answer after 2 rings. Page 32 of the owners manual.

I don't know for a fact but I assume not. They would be calling a local number. I believe it works the same as a cell phone would.

Thanks for the interest. Predictive Text : NoIncoming calls : It will show the incoming caller ID (Name), if the incoming number already in your phone book (Address book). Thank you. KICKmobiles

I believe any incoming call to the phone it it attached to will ring. Either line. Very loud. Hope this helps.

I' not exactly sure as the instructions are at my mother's house, but if I remember correctly, if no one answers after five rings, the device dials the next number. The person who is dialed must push the number 5 to accept the call. An answering machine can't do that so the next number will be dialed.

Not sure. I know the number and sometimes the name of the caller comes up on a normal call but unsure about call waiting. I think so, but I don't use the phone very much. Usually talk on my cell. Sorry!
