Yes, it announces the Caller ID name. A call from a mobile phone is announced "Call from cell phone IL or IN or whatever state the area code is from ". Other calls are announces with the name that shows in Caller ID.

If you are subscribed to caller id, the name and number comes up on the screen.

I believe so. It has an option called Visual Voicemail where you see who called, the date, time etc. I think once you have listened to the voicemail you will have the option to lock it.

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.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

Yes, however you will still have to speak into your phone for the person calling to hear you.

It shows the number of who is calling unless you have the person in your directory. If the person is in your directory, it tells you the name. Of course I have Magic Jack so if you have regular telephone service the name may come up, but I only see the number.

It has caller ID like any phone. If you have Mom saved as a contact then yes Mom will show up while it rings. otherwise the number displays while it ri.gs.

It lets me know there's been a call and who from, but I can't think whether it answers or not.

No, mine just has a button to answer and hang up calls. Works very well however.
1325484
yes it did. I returned it because when you received a call they couldn't hear you.

It does not. I realized that after I wrote the review. It only can answer calls/hang up or change music depending on the single, double or tripple click you have set up.

It does not have caller ID speaking in a manner of traditional ID but it does show the number calling and you can also store a number in your address book and the stored name will show when that caller calls you.

No. It says "incoming call." You can answer by saying "answer," or ignore by saying "ignore." But it works very well for me!
720084
Yes. It tries to pronounce the name. If no name is given it says the phone number. It says 'unavailable' otherwise

When a phone call comes in, it speaks just the name you see on caller ID, not the number. It does this in-between rings.

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!
