Does this phone show voicemail calls on the base, not the handset?

the answering machine will tell you how many messages you have. The handset will only show you have a message not how many. You can check the messages from both the base and the handset. Hope this answers your question.

I'm sorry I have voicemail through my phone service so I can't tell you. The phone is very clear but of course that depends on the other party's phone line too.

Yes t does show it, but i found the phone company one annoying bc it limited u to 4 rings only, so i ended up turning off my verizon answering service.

No, it doesn't. As applicable, display shows incoming" phone# and caller's name" or "unavailable" or "private caller".

Yes it does...it doesn't always get the name right, especially bogus 800 numbers or people selling you "siding" but it does announce what it has as information on the number thats calling you ...kinda cool...allows you to let it go to vmail if you dont like to answer it...oh...only announces from the base...the handsets show the number and information, handsets dont announce out loud...i hope this clarifies your question ...

Both my base and handset receivers all say "New Voice Mail" whenever I have unchecked messages...it's says that on the actual screen of the phones and base. My issue is the caller ID...the numbers don't come up...everything else works fine.

Yes the phone has voice mail, and it's a beauty, I have 5 in my home, they met all my expectations.

When a call comes in, it does ring on all 6 of the units. I have never tried to answer a call from the base unit, only the handsets. And yes, I did get instructions.

There is an intercom between the handsets and base unit. See also Vtech's website for more info at, http://www.vtechphones.com/products/product_detail/2359

Yes, on the base and the handsets you can check previous callers and hear voice messages

Yes. The large silver circle in the photo is the volume control button. Both the base and the handsets have it. When not on a call, it is how you access the directory and the caller ID for the list of recent callers.

Yes, the handset has a its own ringer. It's been several years and I'm still pleased with the phone. The main base is not portable...as the additional hand held phones....Nora

The base unit that I bought (came with 3 phones: 1 at the base station, 2 phone-only stations) does have a built-in answering machine. You can buy nearly the same system *without* an answering machine. The price difference was so little that we got ours with it. Note that this listing is for the additional phone-only station--requires a base station to work.

I don't know - we have only had it a couple of months and have never looked into that feature. But we really like the phone - easy to use and easy voice mail. Maybe you could call their tech support to find out.

No, it's just the handset in the box. I bought this to supplement the complete base with 3 handsets. Gives me 5 phones, one base/answering and 4 handsets.
