can the headset announce the caller's name NOT number

It is claims to be able to do that, but with my galaxy SII it will only announce the number and my phone book is up to date. I do have auto blocking with my provider so if I want someone to see my number I have to have *82 in front of the number I'm calling so most of my contacts are stored with this included into their numbers. So when they call me the phone may not be able to recognize the incoming call because of the *82.

The headset has never announced the name for incoming calls for me. I believe this is because the phonebook was never downloaded from the phone to the headset when it was set-up/paired. I was using it with a G2X first, now I'm using it with a Samsung S4.

Yes, phone will announce caller name, if in the directory, or caller number.

I no longer use this earpiece but if I recall correctly... it only announces the NUMBER calling NOT the contact name stored in your phone. As for voice call using contact name stored...No to that as well. I hope this helps.

Sorry i did not amswer sooner.Yes, this headset announces the caller new name. It uploads your contact list and announces the correct name. it may also announces the name display provided by the Telco if there is no contact match. It works really well.

Yes, however your phone service has to have this feature turned on. The phone will capture the caller ID.

I don't think verbal caller id is a function of the earpiece but rather a function of your phone. If you phone offers it, you would hear it through the earpiece.

No name just number. Also note the on off switch of this ear piece is very fragile (breaks off) and they (Motorola) do not stand behind their product as they consider it physical damage.

yes you can, when a call comes in you headset will inform you of incoming call with number/contact then will ask you to say "answer or ignore" then just say answer and you will be connected, say ignore and call goes away. If you do press the button it will ask what to do, say redial and it calls last number you called, call back and it calls last incoming call, say "phone settings" and it will open phone voice settings commands.

Hello, Re calling out- that is done from your mobile phone or computer. I suppose if you had voice recognition on your cell/computer, you could call out but I think you'd still have to touch your phone. There is no keypad on this headset. Re incoming calls- push the silver button on side of headaet or use your phone to answer. Instructions so good I didn't need to use them. :)

The phone does have caller announce. The only problem I have with the voice is that if the caller is listed as letters, such as USA the voice will read "yousa" as if it's a word. Also, some English words are pronounced strangely, in that Utah is pronounced "Oohtah".

So that's two definite "NO"s and a few "YES"s. One more time, I have caller I.D. through my telephone company -- will this phone display the name/number of whoever is calling?

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.

It only gives the phone number of the caller. It does not give the caller by name.

Yes, the handset will speak the name or number of the caller (sometimes with humorous attempts with pronunciation), and yes, it will do so without picking up the phone. And, if you have a full service cable company providing phone, TV, and computer, the name and number will also appear on your TV screen if your TV is turned on.

Yes, there is a red light that flashes when you have caller IDs to check. When you press the Caller ID button, the phone displays and announces the phone number. However, if someone calls who is programmed into the phones memory, the phone displays the number and the voice announces the name that is programmed into the phone.

It shows the number of who is calling unless you have the person in your directory. If the person is in your directory, it tells you the name. Of course I have Magic Jack so if you have regular telephone service the name may come up, but I only see the number.

Yes. There is a button on the headset that answers and disconnects the call.
