Can you lift the receiver to view the caller id without answering the phone?

No, but it's small enough to pick the whole thing up to look. If the lift the receiver, you either answer or blowouts caller off.

Sadly, no - because that would help with the problem of not being able to read the caller ID when it's hanging on the wall.

No, it just shows the caller ID on the LCD display. It's a nice phone system. The only thing I wish it had is a battery for times when the electricity goes out.

The phone call is connected immediately but does not show who is calling on the caller id

Caller ID appears on the second ring. When you lift receiver, call is connected. No button to push.

No caller ID. I could not recommend this product. We later found that it could not be used on phone jacks in the USA. Ours ended up in the trash.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

Yes you can. Go into the Caller ID menu, there is a "talking caller ID" selection which can be turned off byscrolling to off and then hitting "save".

Yes, Jean, according to the Operating Instructions booklet, the "Talking Caller ID" can be turned off.

Short answer, yes. The unit uses Caller ID to identify the calls you want to block.

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

On my phone, the caller is identified on the hand-held screen - when the call comes in when the phone is in use, the ID shows on the hand-held screen while "ringing," then disappears if you do not pickup.

Yes you can via , select "menu"...scroll down to "initial settings" and select it ....then scroll down to "talking caller ID" and select it ...this is where you can also select on/off talking caller ID for either handset and/or base unit.

Yes, but you can't depend on it because callers now manipulate who the call is from and also are able to not show the phone # in the window or show an invalid number.

Yes - but you need to understand that it is interpreting whatever the caller ID is showing so it might not make total sense.

Yes it does, the music lowers completely, and you get a ringer, and the display does show the caller ID number. You can press a button on the stereo or phone to decline it.

Can you use the speaker without needing to pick up the hand set to dial or hang up?

By remote phones if you mean multiple telephones connected to a land line within your home, yes, it still allows caller ID to be displayed on them. But once a number is blocked, they will never ring so you won't be bothered with having to look at the caller ID to see who it is.
