Yes on mine you can turn ringer off on either the hand set or the base unit or both.

Sorry, since this phone did not have caller ID, I returned it. I do not know about the ringer volume.

no. also, you have to turn it off at the base. and not the pager for it to stop ringing

Yes. You can change the volume level of the ringer separately. There are 6 volume settings. Ranging from very loud to completely off.

Yes Barbara, the ringer does turn off. The ringer has three settings; high, low and off.

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

You can turn the ringer off by pressing Menu #160, then press volume down and save...and it also has a Silent Mode where you can set certain times to be silent. I don't know the shortcut for that, but it's Menu &gt; Initial Setting &gt; Ringer Setting &gt; Silent Mode. I normally just turn the ringer off like above so I use the shortcut, very simple.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Yes, you can adjust the ringer volume in addition to putting it in "Silent Mode".

Yes. If you turn the ringer volume off on the base, a small red light will blink (on the base) when you receive a call, and the handset will ring.

I think there are several to choose from - all fairly obnoxious - none "cute". Be aware that the ring and ring volume cannot be set for each handset. You also can't turn the ring off on one handset and leave it on others. You can however, set a different ring for incomming forwarded cell calls.

Micah is correct. There will be a decending tone...hold down after that...then it will turn off. I leave my phone playing through it as I do this. That way I know it is turned off.

Yes it is possible to turn it off if you use outside answering services. I just got this phone set and have read most of the manual.

So far, I have not found an "off" button but I haven't read the entire manual. There is a mute button. The volume of the ring can be turned way down or up to super loud. When I turned down the volume of the ringer, it was very quiet.

You set your cell phone on silent alert, place the phone behind the unit (slip it between the unit and the elastic band), and you're done. If you get a phone call, the vibration of the phone causes the RingMaster to go off. You can adjust the volume on the unit to your liking. I am pleased with mine and feel it was a worthwhile purchase.

Yes........on the back of the phone there are two switches. One is to turn the ringer off, and the other one is to control the ringer volume.

Yes, the ringer volume can be set to 1 of 6 volume levels or turned off on each handset.

I honestly don't know if it can be turned off. We use both. I think when both lines are being used, our Comcast service kicks in. When that happens there is a tone on the phone and I just put my password in to get the Comcast voice messages. I'm sorry for not being able to answer your question fully.
