Is the phone call coming in connected immediately after lifting the receiver or do you have to press an answer button before the call is connected? Asking if you can screen the caller id screen first before deciding to answer.

The caller ID appears on the display B4 U pick-up. Phone is like older style phones, once U pick up receiver your connected. No button to push.

How tight is the iphone integration? Does the unit support incoming and outgoing calls from an iphone? Is the incoming number displayed on the screen, can you answer a call via the touch screen? etc etc. Thanks for the advice!

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

I have this phone and I have it set to answer after 6 rings. When a call comes in, the display initially shows "Ringing", but before the second ring, it begins displaying the caller's ID. It continues showing the caller's ID through the remainder of the rings.

Not sure. I know the number and sometimes the name of the caller comes up on a normal call but unsure about call waiting. I think so, but I don't use the phone very much. Usually talk on my cell. Sorry!

The button answers the original phone call. However, if you are on the phone and get another call you will need to answer that from the phone. I have an iphone 4. I'm not sure if it's just because of the model phone I have or the device.

Sounds like you have call waiting with your phone carrier. If that's so, then you will have to press the receiver (as though you are hanging up, but you are not), then the next caller will be there. Then upon finishing that call or asking them to wait, then you press the receiver again and you should be back to your original party. If you have more than 1 phone line, then the call should roll to your 2nd line (depends on how you have the phone set up to roll (hunt), then you would press "hold" for the 1st line caller and press line 2 to answer the next call. Hope this helps! :) Sounds like you have call waiting with your phone carrier.

Linda, on my phone the screen says "incoming call" for 2-3 seconds, than the caller id shows up. I think you need to mess with the settings. Not sure how to solve it, but mine works! Kris

You have to press like for 3 seconds and it will say "waiting for connection" so you pair it with your advice, and it will tell you "connected" to turn it of you press for like 3 seconds again and it will make a sound. :)

Press the button with the arrow pointing up and keep pressing until you come to the person you are wanting to call....then press either the hands free button (the button above the talk button) ORR hit the talk biutton and it will speed dial to that person!

I have not had this complaint about this from my callers. One thing I noticed though is that the caller ID takes at least two ring before it gets recognized.

It automatically recognizes the voice commands, "answer" or "ignore"; in fact, if you DON'T want it to do that you have to disable voice commands. To get it to allow you to tell it the number to call, you press the "Call" button 2 seconds, wait for the prompt & then tell it the name of the stored contact to call. Hope this helps!

You have to lift the handset as the device is wired into the handset cord. They make an auto-lifter for the handset so you can answer the phone from away from the desk. However, you have to make sure the particular model has one made for it.

Device projects the ringing signal then voice asks "in coming call from Bob Jones would you like to answer or refuse call?" If I say yes then I am connected to the caller and may start talking. I do have an iPhone and enabled voice commands so I can't tell you if it is the Roadster or my iPhone speaking?

No problem, Noah. The large button just below the screen will handle many of your functions. I assume you want to check your Caller ID to see who's been calling you. On this model, just press the bottom of the button and each of your calls will be displayed on the screen, starting with the most recent. The name will display first, and then you can press the right side of the button and it will indicate the caller's number. You can even choose to save (or block) these numbers by following the on-screen instructions, using the "select" key and pressing the choices you want, in-sequence. Hope this is helpful to you.

The phone rings. The screen in the middle lights up showing the caller id and indicating if the call is from YOUR connected cell phones OR your LAND line (if you have one).You pick up the phone -- you can press the answer button OR the speaker ON button. When finished you can press the end call button or simply hang up -- the phone disconnects when the other party hangs up.I use the answer and hang up buttons about 99% of the time -- it is easy. I don't know if the phone can be set to answer when you pick it up off of the cradle/charger -- but the documentation or on line will tell you.I love the integration of the cell and the land line into one.
