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.

There are numbers on the screen to use when dialing. Or, you can type in a name on the keyboard and it will bring it up the numbers stored in your phone. Then you touch on the name you want to call on the screen. The screen is very sensitive, so you have to be careful you touch the right person.

Yes, when the phone is not in use press the MENU button, then scroll to the Intercom function. If you only have two handsets it displays "call other handset", if you have 3 or more it lets you select the number of the handset to call. See page 43 in the manual for more info.

I think call waiting is provided by the carrier and mot the phone. It does have a FLASH key that would send the signal for call waiting!

Yes, as long as you have that capability via your phone company. In my case, I have to hit the tone button after I dial the phone number to have that capability.

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

There is a small sticker on the phone which gives instructions. You must pick your calling plan from the website indicated. Following that you then activate the phone with the serial number displayed on the sticker itself.

I haven't done that but the machine lists the time and number and you can access the list of recent calls from any handset, then select the entry from the call list, then click the talk button and it will dial that number.

Each handset has a "line 1" and "line 2" key. In order to make a call or answer a call, you must select a line. If you select a line that is in use, of course it will interrupt the call in progress.

John - Don't be irritated! If you need to add a 1 at the beginning of the number, Press SELECT and then CID/DOWN ARROW or DIR/UP ARROW to scroll through the various dialing formats (area code + seven-digit number, 1 + seven-digit number, seven digit number or 1 + area code + seven-digit number). Press DISPLAY DIAL to call using the speakerphone or press DISPLAY DIAL and then lift the handset. The telephone automatically dials the displayed telephone number.

Absolutely! But only if your cell provider doesn't pick it up first. You may be able to set your cell phone to pick up after 5 rings, in which case the home phone answerer will pick it up first. Hope that helps.
