What is the maximum number of rings that can be set before the answering machine picks up?

You can select 2 to 7 rings or select "Toll Saver". "Toll Saver" answers at the end of the 2nd ring when messages have been recorded, or at the end of the 5th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to check messages, you know there are no new messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up to avoid being charged for the call.

From what I recall from reading the instructions, you are normally limited to 399, but you CAN set it to UNLIMITED another way, if you want more than 399. ;)

yes. You can turn off any of the ringers or all of them and calls will go to the answering machine.

I believe that you can set your FAX phone to answer on the first ring. The fax will get the call before the voice mail - - - or set thevoice mail to pick up after 4 or 5 rings

No, this product does not contain a built-in answering machine. Another answering machine on the same line can interfere with receiving faxes, depending on how you have the line and the machine set up. I subscribe to what my local phone company calls "signal ring." There is one phone line, but two phone numbers, each number with its own distinct ring. This fax machine can be set to respond to a distinct ring so that it will automatically pick up when it senses that particular ringing pattern. I use one number for my fax and the other number for my regular phone calls, and I set the fax to answer after only one ring so the answering machine won't interfere with its answering faxes.

you can control the ringer on each line... for example if line 2 is a fax... you can turn off the ringer on 2 and leave line 1 ringer on

Each answering system works independently for each line. As long as you have each phone setup with its own extension number as outlined in the instructions for setting up your system. We have a system of 9 phones and 6 of them have the voicemail/answering system setup independently.

yes - your system will hold 12 phones. i have 6 phones on mine.just be sure you go through the add and register setup for each phone.this is great if you have bluetooth. once you pair you cell phone and it rings it will ring you cordless phone up to an acre away

Yes you can set all 4 before starting them. Then start them 1 at a time. You can't start all of them at once.

This varies, as your phone service itself, if you have the call blocking option selected (usually a small extra charge) will allow 30 in my case, using the *60 option. If the phone base allows additional blocking then in theory, you could block up to 60 numbers. I will soon get to find out due to the high number of telemarketer calls.

Hello, the operating manual says on page 41 the following: "you can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list". I hope that helps.

Hi there. Yes, there are 10 different ring tones. You can also adjust the ringer volume. Hope that helps!

The manual has no discussion of using 2 Homesitters, but I think it would work to set one unit to answer on 5 rings and the other one to answer in 10 rings (dip switch toggle). Important to know know how to cancel alert call backs remotely. And you would not be able to distinguish which Homesitter was sending a call alert, so would have to cancel both.

To silence the ringer for a specific time the answering machine answers without playing anything through the speakers and to silence the ringers press # key and you are prompted to select 1 to 9 hours or always on that you want to stay in silent mode. Hope this helps.

Vic is correct -- 80 numbers or area codes. When blocking an entire area code, it will also allow you to "Invite" up to 10 different phone numbers within the blocked area code to still be able to call you.

The Freedom Alert goes to the next number after x number of rings, I think it's 5 rings. So you just need to set your answering machine to pickup after 5 rings to solve that problem. I purchased this system for my father who is disabled and likes to try to do things on his own. He has already fallen and has had to use it and it worked great.
