You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

I think that is just the way it's designed, for privacy when you have company, for example, so they can't listen. I have not tried listening on the handset after it rings, but maybe that is how you screen the calls. Thwy have a really good customer service department, you could call them during business hours. Im curious myself now! I do like how I dont have to listen to my own outgoing message every time it picks up like my last phone. That is why I did not by a Uniden again.

I said the volume of the phone goes as high as 5 and it's not very loud. When I am talking In the phone it goes into a lot of static and people say they cant hear me.

There is a blinking light on my base unit that tells me I missed a call and I can then listen to it on my answering machine. There is no blinking light, I don't believe, if the missed call goes directly to my carrier (Comcast's) voice mail but that only happens when my own answering machine isn't able to get it.

That's the same problem I had. The numbers on the keypad of the phone stopped working, prohibiting me from retrieving voice mail. I got rid of the V-tech phone and bought a Panasonic. Works much better and has a "call block" feature to prevent annoying telemarketers from calling!

My cell device does not offer this as a feature so I can not say if you would hear the callers name. I do hear the phone rings and my specific ring announcements (you have a text, your mother is call, its the boss do not answer the phone). I suspect that hearing names would work.

Turn the dial down to where you cannot hear anything and then, turn it up a notch. That should do it.

Answering service or machine will work just fine if set up according to the directions. I haven't tried calling the system, it usually initiates the calls.

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

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.

I have read the instructions several times and couldn't find any mention of how to get audio announcement of caller. Each phone shows the origin or name of the caller but you have to look at the phone.

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

Yes you can make calls. It's sort of uncomfortable up against your ear and the sound is a bit muffled

I did the firmware update and the fax machine was initially picking up. I went into the settings and set TEL PRIORITY. Once I did this, it stopped picking up the phone.

I bought this phone about 9 months back and since the last couple of days, I am having the same problem. When I call over skype, the ring goes through, but when the other person picks the phone, there is no sound from either side.

Hi Robert. This device won't interfere with your phones or answering machine. It only makes calls out when it detects an alarm condition. I have several phones and a digital answer machine and have had no problems.cheers!

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.

Yes, this is how your system is connected to the telephone system. Because of this, when you are using your landline to make a phone call, the machine will remind you that the machine cannot work while the line is busy.

It will receive voice commands but doesn't hear what I say very well.I don't know about call announce.
