I returned mine. We attempted to set up the base in 3 different rooms of the house, & in every one we had some serious static in all the phones.

Mine can't have the ringer turned off. But we like the phone a lot. Working fine after many months.

I do not see a way to turn the sound off. For in class timing I use my smart phone set on vibrate.This is a great timer in the kitchen.

Yes! You can turn off the ringer on each of the three handsets and also have different ring tones on each. We love this phone!

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

You cannot "turn the ringer off" by a switch. However, if you take the case off (easy to do) you can just clip one of the wires that you can see going to the ringer and that is that. It will take just a few minutes to do this. If you want to turn it off and then on it is not the phone for you.

The ringer can be adjusted from very soft to very loud. Have not found a way to shut off ringer and instructions do not specify. A very nice phone.

There is the capability of silencing the ring tone, however,one must reactivate the ring tone manually. No know call blocking feature. One may set the ring tone to off for callers that block their number(s). Hope this helps. Overall we are pleased with this product.

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.

Here's the only way I know to turn the ringer off. Make sure the phone is in its charger. Remove it. Press the "arrow up" part of the round button below the three soft buttons under the digital screen. As the ringer is is sounding, press the "arrow down" part of the same round button until the ringer stops (usually two clicks). Place the phone back in it's charger.

OK, I just did a quick test to answer your question. I went approximately at least 300 feet to my neighbor's house across the street from my house. What I did was call my wife on her cell and we chatted as I did that walk to the neighbor's front door. It was always crystal clear per the wife on her cell as well as the unit I took with me. In regards to the Ringers. Yes, you have the "Option" of turning either or both of them off. The Hand-Held Unit or the Base Unit. These phones work great and I replaced every phone in my house with them. Terry

You can turn it off on the remote receiver. There is a switch that can change the alert tone or turn the receiver off.
