Does this phone show voicemail calls on the base, not on the handset?

Yes. As far as I know. This is one of the few phones that have a voicemail indicating light on the base.

You can retrieve voice mail messages from either the base or a handset. Process is the same.

Yes, it has an answering machine that you can hear from the base station or from each of the three phones. If want to use your telephone landline provider's answering service instead of the one in the phone, you can do that too by turning off the phone's internal answering service. In either case, the phone will notify you of a message in three ways: 1) by displaying a message on the phone LCD screen, 2) by showing a blinking light on the JR key on the phone, 3) by beeping periodically (this can be turned off if not wanted)

No, it doesn't. Also, I want to add that a few months after posting my review, the cordless phones are one by one biting the dust. By that, I am referring to the display screen. They are all messing up which makes viewing who called or anything unreadable.

It will show a missed call message. I am not sure about the voicemail--I don't remember and I have since given the phone away....for what it's worth I believe the answer is yes. This phone is super basic but it worked well for me and I was happy with it when I used it on a recent trip to Europe.

Yes, under settings caller id annc. You have to disable on the base and each handset

I'm sorry, how do you think you get service? You can leave a handset on the base to answer from it....

yes, there is a speaker phone function on the base unit and both handsets. Sound quality on the recorded message is very good.

the answering machine will tell you how many messages you have. The handset will only show you have a message not how many. You can check the messages from both the base and the handset. Hope this answers your question.

nc - Yes! Ringer can be turned off; answering system can be turned off. Base and handset have independent ringers, btw.

sorry I didn't read the question right I don't know if the base has a speaker but the phone itself does for hands free

I agree! I also use voicemail & wont be using the answerg machine on phn. I want a speakerphone on handset & base unit. Can additional handsets be purchased to expand the unit?

Just an FYI - Another responder mentioned the bells beneath the base, but those bells are for decoration and ring only when you use the crank on the side - it has nothing to do with the actual ring when someone calls. When someone calls, the ringer sounds like any other corded phone. It is not antique sounding.

It has a display which reads, "New Voicemail". Haven't noticed a flashing light. However the handsets flash when the phone rings. My wife and I have a two year old, so nap time is precious. The upstairs base and cordless phone are turned to silent. The downstairs phone is on medium volume. Great phones, we have never been more satisfied.

Each handset and base unit display will have a "New Voice Mail" message. Full details of using voice mail with this telephone can be found in the below link. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/telephone/om/kx-tg784x_kx-tg365_kx-tg787x_kx-tg385_mul_om.pdf#page=63
