If I purchase this phone, program it with all the phone numbers and then ship it to my grandparents, will the programmed phone numbers be gone?

It has a 9 volt battery to keep memory, so it should keep the numbers storied while it travels to your grandparents.

No. They should stay programmed. I programmed the 2 I got for my Mom while I was home and tested each button to make sure I stored the correct numbers. Then took them to her apartment and plugged them in. Worked like a charm!

Not at all. The numbers stay programmed in the phone. I did the same for my mother.

Hi Danee, It will not lose the programmed codes when replacing the batteries. -Anthony

It does, I no longer use this system but I believe it retains the last 100 numbers. I switched to a ATT system because the RCA display was so poor. I have this phone and six handsets for sale if you are interested.

Yes. I called from a different phone and had them activate it the day I received it. If you purchased it out of state you might want to let them know that, because it has something to do with the area code. They will instruct you on how to wipe it completely clean too! Hope this answers your question!

Yes, mine did. I called Verizon and their customer service rep encouraged me to get the serial number before I purchased the phone. She said if I called Verizon with the serial number, then their customer service dept could verify that the phone wasn't stolen or used. I did and my phone(s) were everything I needed and more. I sure wish that this kind of phone was still available, I LOVE the real keyboard. One of my first grade students saw my phone opened and she exclaimed, "Oh look, it looks like a miniature computer!". Hope this helps you.

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

Yes...make sure to keep your order form and box BC these are refurbished phones and they will adventurly go out or something. Amazon don't like bad responses so you night not get this message they may delete it.but that's how it is

The owner's manual provides instructions for resetting the system to factory specifications (i.e., no programmed numbers). It appears you would then have to re-program the numbers you want to keep.

Yes but make sure you call them to unlock and see if you can keep your number. You can program it online but need to call them to unlock it and keep your number. So might as well call them to do it all at once.

I've read the other responses. My grandparents have been happy with the phone. The volume boost is nice. Numbers and display are easy to read. The only thing I don't like is the number of steps required to dial a memory number. Too many steps for my grandparents who are not tech savy.

Yes...but you have to reprogram your old or original ones at the same time. I often lose them, so I ordered 4 and had to reprogram the one I had left as well, but it is really easy and tehy send you detailed instructions.

Josh yes it will. I have used to when my phone died and my new one had to be mailed to me. You will just have to pick that phone when you activate it if you do it online

Yes. You have to subscribe to caller ID with whatever phone carrier you're using, but yes, it shows the number and if that name is in the phonebook that you program in yourself (very easy) then the name shows up too.

You can get details from the seller. We got rid of the phone long time ago.

You sure can, honey. It won't matter if you get a new phone. The number stays the same unless you contact the phone company to change it.

I ordered the remote answering phone and received their regular large button phone without the remote. They no longer had it, so I was given a refund and told I could keep the phone. I really wanted the remote phone, but no can do.
