Yes, but the microphone could be stronger. People often say they cNt hear me well. Have to. Ring the base close to use it.

The speaker function is in the handset, not the base. All the base has is the seat for charging which makes it have a small footprint on the desk.

When using it as a speakerphone, the speaker is on the back of the handset (opposite side from the keys).

I'm not sure I understand your question. There is no external sound from the handset or the base; if you want to use a speakerphone function you would simply use whatever is on your phone. When you answer an incoming call using the red answer button on the handset it automatically routes the audio to the handset, so in that instance you would have to lift the handset to say hello and then activate the phone's external speaker manually. I am not sure if any phones have the capability of being set to automatically turn on the speakerphone when answering a call with that external handset's red answer button.

Both have speaker the base and the phone, so if you don't find the phone can you answer it through the base

There is a SPEAKER function on the base unit and all of the handsets. The answering device can also be controlled from all the handsets including the base unit.

No it is not a speaker phone. It is just a simple good working phone, the extras are record and music player, radio and very useful is the torch.

Yes, The ATT does have a speakerphone. I have two different sets of ATT cordless phones. They are all great.

All of the phones have a speaker on them. The base station also has a speaker Periodically when we call long distance to family we use the speaker on whichever phone we had used/answered so that we can have everyone in the room participate during the call. HTH

It would not be useable as a speakerphone; there is no microphone in it. Someone may have figured out a hack to make it work but it's not designed to do it

Yes it does have speaker phone on both.The buttons are unique in that they are not separate buttons. More like flat surface with press-ability.Takes some getting used to.The remote handset is on the small side of average, doesn't hold btwn my shoulder & ear well at all.Not my favorite phone, but functional.

This phone has a speakerphone button and it flashes when someone is calling. however, I do not suggest you buy this phone. I bought it and it worked fine for about a month, then it broke. Since it passed the one-month return policy, I could not return it but had to throw it away.
