Does the speakerphone work with the battery backup (NO A.C.)?

I really don't know. Gave this to my Mom last year and I do not live near her to know or to check. Sorry I can't help.

I have AT&T; U-verse and the phone works well with no batteries required. The speakerphone does have a 120v adaptor for power.

It does not unless you have the setting this way. However, when is had to remain lit continuous the charging rate was so slow it would not charge 100% at night. I do not recommend this item. It only works as a junior varsity speaker. I found a very good blue tooth speaker at Office Depot that is rechargeable and I use this, charge and have a speaker, and when I leave for the office I switch the charge to the speaker and both are 100%when I return home.

I only use the bluetooth connection and I would say my battery has never ran out while I have used it. My speaker is amazing. If I was guessing I would say something is wrong with yours.

I don't know. I looked over the instructions and did not see anything about that. I wouldn't use it anyway because I would be concerned that someone else in a car thinking they should text back. Sorry I couldn't be more help. The speaker still works for what I want it for.

The battery provides backup power, but my guess is the loud sound cannot be driven for a long time by a simple battery and thus requires external power.

No battery backup. Be sure and have a cellphone as a backup for power outages, Regular phones normally work with power outages, these don't.

Following this question, does it run on a battery backup or on the power in line, as a regular phone line (no electricity involved)

Yes, The ATT does have a speakerphone. I have two different sets of ATT cordless phones. They are all great.

Yes, it has a battery backup. You will need to install the batteries. It's really a great phone.

I looked at the manual online and it has a backup battery that keeps the clock and alarm running, but won't power the speakers or radio, which is a disappointment. I hope that helps.

Yes, it comes with a USB cable to connect from the speakerphone to your computer. The only power comes from the USB cable.

Yes, it does. We have this phone throughout our office and I have 4 analog lines for backup. This phone works on those analog lines with no problems.

Yes, via either bluetooth or a standard audio connection. The unit does need power. It has a battery, so if the battery is charged it works or you can connect it to a USB port to provide power for the speaker and charge the battery.

Yes it does, there is a rechargable battery in the handset, next to the speaker. Mine is also not charging anymore, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement because it looks like a custome size/shape. If you have any luck let me know!

Yes, it does have a battery backup. It works great, as i've turned the circuit off several times during our remodel and no power loss to the timer. All the times and programs remain correct.

Yes, there is a speakerphone function, but I find it handier to use a bluetooth headset instead. Much handier and you can leave the phone in your pocket.
