A: Set mine for 5 rings...it only does 2...and for some reason it then rings twice on my cell phone...huh? I hate this set, lots of buttons to push before doing anything! I'm debating returning it too.
Q: Can I block marketing calls?
A: Yes you can. Whenever I get a call that says not provided, that’s who calling you, you just push the call block button. They will not longer be able to get through. If you do not recognize a number just let the answering machine take it, then you can still block them.
Q: Does this phone have different types of ringtones?
A: Yes, it does. You have to scroll through the set-up menu to get to the ringtone selection, and I didn't find any of the ringtones especially appealing so I stayed with the default one. I'm quite pleased with the system overall.
Q: Can you hear the messages as they are being left on the answering machine?
A: Yes and the volume is adjustable.
A: It will act as a speaker phone with no handset in the base. I thought it odd as but it’s a good quality phone setup.
A: Yes it gives the full call details of all messages as well as displayed on the base and handset. The blocked call feature is really nice. If a call is coming in that you want to block you just hit the block button and all future calls from that number will be blocked automatically.
A: yes you can call from handset to handset or to the base from any handset, each one has a different number already assigned out of the box.
Q: How long will this phone continue to function during a general power failure?
A: According to the manual, this system has a battery backup feature. In case of a power outage, if you have a fully charged handset on the base, the base will draw power from that handset to allow the system to continue to operate. That is until the power in the handset is depleted.
