Can you turn off the keytone so it doesn't "beep" when you dial a number? Can you hear the pre-recorded message when the answering machine picks up?

First I suggest you read the owner's manual for the keypad beep. Since I bought this for a friend I am not sure of the answer to the second question except to say that on an older version that I do own, yes, you can hear the pre-recorded message

yes you can turn off each phone seperately or not. Each also can have their own call tone. No you don't have to hear the recorded message. you can hear or not hear the incoming call.

I don't have a land line (but now I'm thinking i should). For the ringer, there's two old fashion bell below the base that sounded like the old bicycle horn (old fashion ring tone, easy on the ear). There's no volume control. You will love this telephone no matter what. It looks like the real thing and it's a real phone.

Yes, all beeps can be turned off, so you hear nothing but the actual voice come through when you are receiving. Pressing the buttons to send will also not make a noise - just the mechanical click of the switch, which is not very loud.

You can turn the ringer off by pressing Menu #160, then press volume down and save...and it also has a Silent Mode where you can set certain times to be silent. I don't know the shortcut for that, but it's Menu &gt; Initial Setting &gt; Ringer Setting &gt; Silent Mode. I normally just turn the ringer off like above so I use the shortcut, very simple.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

Yes, you can, but the answering machine doesn't play messages out loud as they are being recorded.

So far, I have not found an "off" button but I haven't read the entire manual. There is a mute button. The volume of the ring can be turned way down or up to super loud. When I turned down the volume of the ringer, it was very quiet.

Yes, you can put the ringer on silent. It's on page 26 of the instruction book. The phone has the feature that annouces who is calling and you can also turn that off.

Hi, Susan. We are very pleased with the phone and answering machine. When a person calls, the voice announces who it is from (this can be eliminated if you don't like the voice). You can also hear the voice of the person calling as they leave the message as well.Hope this helps.BestAl B.

I honestly don't know if it can be turned off. We use both. I think when both lines are being used, our Comcast service kicks in. When that happens there is a tone on the phone and I just put my password in to get the Comcast voice messages. I'm sorry for not being able to answer your question fully.

per the handbook (pg 34), it states: If you do not want the first ring from a number on the call block list to sound, turn the first ring setting to "Off". The default setting is "On". So to answer your question, yes it can be done. Also for any other question, here is the URL from the Panasonic site for the manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF

I think it does show the caller, but I am not sure about the beep. Sorry. I only had the phone for 6 months and it died.

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

I don't use the local telco's vmail, so this hasn't bothered me. But i seem to recall an entry in the manual about how the "first ring" can be turned off, to prevent this exact chime phenom from notification messages and text messages (apparently folks in europe can get SMS service on land lines? there's a menu item to view SMS messages on this phone too).

Yes, it does. There is a flashing red LED when there is a message waiting, and if I recall correctly, there is also an audible beep that is configurable from the setup menu (it can be turned completely off).

I did not read anywhere in the instructions that the beeper can be turned off so no I don't think you can. However, its not as loud as some said it was and it only beeps like 5 times and then its off.
