does this phone have power failure backup

Yup, it does!!! When power goes out, you put any handset in the base, and the base powers itself from the handset. How cool is that?!

it does not have a battery backup, but "Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved." This is from the direction sheet. I do like the unit!

No. It is more of a backup for making phone calls, etc. when your phone's battery is low.

Sonja,I can't recall if this phone remembers your settings in the event of a power failure and you lose your land line phone. That very rarely happens where I live. However, if you do lose your land line after a power failure, press the Directory ("DIR") button and scroll through the settings to see if it retained our original settings. If not, just reset them.

No. It is a very basic smartphone. I think it is very useful as a backup phone

No. But I can tell you the power buttons don't work. They've sent me 3 of these. All junk

No, Plus, there is no place for a battery backup in this switch. If you lose power, it is out just like a conventional light switch. When the power comes back on, the switch should reconnect to the wifi.

Yes! However, if your phone power goes out, as well, I don't know the answer.

Yes, it does. It has a battery backup (9v) to keep programmed numbers and the message stored during any power outage.

The base connects to your land line, the phone is portable and uses a wireless connection to the base. If you loose power, I suspect the phone will not work.

Yes. It has two timer modes you can set, for example one for morning and one for evening. These are the two LEDs beneath the LCD clock display. However, there is no battery backup when the power fails but setting the timer is very easy. We use this feature in the morning to save time.

No. The battery is very weak, the camera shuts down in a few seconds when not connected to power.

Ours did not. There is an available plug in for power, but as best I could tell this was if you used the memory phone list features which we did not. Overall has been an excellent phone with good sound, as loud as necessary. One good surprise was the rubber feet on the bottom are none slip, so the phone is not easily pulled off the table.

Purchased phone for my Dad. As far as I remember power comes from telephone line connection.

Yes, it has a battery backup. You will need to install the batteries. It's really a great phone.
