Does the unit pass caller ID info through it to phones and handsets in series?

The caller ID doesn't get passed on to the phone that is directly connected to SENTRY. However, if you use a different phone jack to plug in SENTRY( no need to connect phone set), then your main phone set will show all CID info as usual.

Best way to do it: use a 2 to 1 phone line splitter to connect SENTRY and your phone in parallel. This way the CID shows up on your phone. check out www.plugnblock.com

Not sure why that would be mentioned...caller ID only displays on the base. Great phone...good clarity and features!

When a call comes in, it does ring on all 6 of the units. I have never tried to answer a call from the base unit, only the handsets. And yes, I did get instructions.

Yes, it does display caller ID if you have this service; however, the down side is that it requires batteries for the digital ID to work. I am currently using the Amazon rechargeable batteries for that. I highly recommend this product

That depends on the plan you subscribe to with your service provider. We have that plan and this phone shows caller ID and works with call waiting.

Yes it shows the number of the person calling. If that number is in your contacts it will show the name instead. Just for your info, do not put two numbers under that same contact if you want to know which number is calling, because you won't be able to tell. I make a separate contact name for each number.

Yes you can via , select "menu"...scroll down to "initial settings" and select it ....then scroll down to "talking caller ID" and select it ...this is where you can also select on/off talking caller ID for either handset and/or base unit.

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?

Yes has caller ID and will also when someone calls tell you who is calling telling you there name. Very happy with mine!

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

Each phone has the same info. that is Dir, Missed Calls, etc. Put the info. in 1 one handset and the whole system gets the info.

Yes, it does have the voice announced caller ID. It is limited to the base station as well

The Caller ID function will show up on the screen of your phone, but the headset will not read the name to you into your ear (at least, not that I'm aware of).

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

It says whatever caller id indicates. If a name, it will say a name. If only a number it will say the number

You have to have the Caller ID service on your telephone line. Please let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Yes it will if you split the signal coming from the jack to both phone's base station and to the device.The device does have a pass through, but if you phone signal isn't strong enough, then you don't get the caller ID on your phone. I split the signal from the jack for mine and it works fine.
