Can you turn off the answering machine and, if so, will the caller ID still function?

Hello sorry to say I cannot. I am having problems figuring out how to make a directory Directions are very lacking.

I don't know. I assume that that the caller id would work. I have another vtech phone without an answering machine. I still haven't hooked this up yet but I have to by next week as my present phone is dying.

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

I have the KX-TG4772 model and turned off the answering system by pressing the "Answer On/Off" button on the right side of the base unit. When the red light above the button goes off, the answering system is disabled. You can also use the handset to turn the answering system off. On the handset, press menu #328 to turn answering system off. To turn it back on, press menu #327. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. Go into the Caller ID menu, there is a "talking caller ID" selection which can be turned off byscrolling to off and then hitting "save".

yes you can. What you can't easily do is to turn off the ringer if you are trying not to answer the phone call.

Yes. It does allow incoming calls to your answering machine. I tested that the 1st day I had it. Also it will call you after you set it each time, but I now find that as agood feature since it lets me know it is activated. I simply hit "ignore call" on the way out my door.

Press "Menu" on the base, arrow to "Ringers," and press the down arrow on the "Volume" button, you can turn the ringer off. It will stay off if you press "Menu/Select" to save your preference. PS--If you have the Caller ID feature, the phone will not announce the number when the volume is in the "Off" position.

Yes, it can be shut-off but we really like it. Also the caller block system is terrific! It's an excellent buy. Hope this helps with your decision. Donna

I have never had to use the answering machine as I have MagicJack, which has its own voicemail. The caller ID does talk though, which is nice.

Yes both can be shut off. The answering machine can be shut off for either line 1 or line 2 or both. The ringers for each handset and the base are independently controlled and can be set individually and shut off individually.

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

No, not to answer the phone. You have to hit answer on the phone but after that it is hands free until you hang up.

You can turn the answering machine off...and I do believe that you can also turn down the answer volume. It's at my parents house , so I would have to check.
