Can you program numbers to be announced by a different name than what is displayed on the caller id?

Other than not having a clue why you'd want to do that, I suspect you may have to go through your phone carrier. Good luck with that. What you program as the caller id in your directory should announce when that caller calls. If you enter a phone number and want the ID to be a number instead of a name, you can do that.

You can store numbers from the caller id list to your directory, which means you can change the names of the callers and the phone will announce the name that is tied to that number. I am assuming that you do have caller id through your carrier. For example: the name is Doe Susan - you changed it to Susan and the phone will announce Susan

It only gives the phone number of the caller. It does not give the caller by name.

it says callers name if you have a name attached to the number or the number if you do not have a name attached to it

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.

It allows you to add 20 contact names that it will say the name of the caller for. Beyond that it says "call from (the calling #)"

On an Asterisk based system . No... It requires you to dial *97 or program the message button to call that.

When a call comes in, the phone will announce a callers name if it is in your programmed contact list otherwise it announces the calling number. For missed calls the number is saved whether or not they leave a message until you erase it.

Yes. It actually "talks" the name on the caller id. (Sometimes kind of annoying -"Call from cell phone,etc") Also, A message shows on my television screen, (although this is probably a feature from Comcast)

Yes, the directory you mentioned is very easy to access. There is a little picture of an address book on the screen, you click on the button underneath it and that gives you the list of names you entered in the directory. There are arrows on the big round button on the top of the phone and you can scroll the list, up and down, with it. When the name you want appears on the screen, you click on "Talk." You can not add more than one number for each contact, but you can list that contact once for each number.

Yes it does...it doesn't always get the name right, especially bogus 800 numbers or people selling you "siding" but it does announce what it has as information on the number thats calling you ...kinda cool...allows you to let it go to vmail if you dont like to answer it...oh...only announces from the base...the handsets show the number and information, handsets dont announce out loud...i hope this clarifies your question ...

Yes, it announces the Caller ID name. A call from a mobile phone is announced "Call from cell phone IL or IN or whatever state the area code is from ". Other calls are announces with the name that shows in Caller ID.

So that's two definite "NO"s and a few "YES"s. One more time, I have caller I.D. through my telephone company -- will this phone display the name/number of whoever is calling?

It does SHOW the name/number for a call-waiting incoming call. However, the talking caller ID only announces when it's the first call not a call-waiting.

'California' IS the name. Caller ID is dependent upon your local telephone company service and how they represent another carrier's number. For example, some local telephone companies only give number information and no name, while others give you name and number. This phone allows for both types. If the number is a familiar number to you then you can program it into the Address Book with the person's name. This way the next time he/she calls, the phone will announce their name, as opposed to 'California.' Here in Northern NJ, most callers from cells come up as 'Wireless Caller' on the Caller ID with their number. 'California' IS the name.
