A:AnswerThat depends on the connection. If your phone line is through Comcast cable it will go out because the cable modem will go out when the power goes out. If you have a connection where you plug the phone directly into the wall jack you should be able to still use the phone in power outages.
A:AnswerCaller ID is from your phone company. Your phone company sends callerID information to your phone no matter what phone you have. It sends it. You just have to have a phone that accepts caller id which this one does. Also call-waiting callerid works too.
A:AnswerYes you can. Call the number of the phone with the answering machine. When the machine picks up, enter 500 and follow the instructions. I believe this information is in the booklet that came with the phone.
A:AnswerThe handset cord that comes with the phone will stretch out to about 6 or 7 feet. If that doesn't meet your requirements, you can purchase after market cords of varying lengths. I don't know if they still make them this long, but I have seen cords that stretch 25 to 30 feet long.
A:AnswerIt flashes when you have a new message. After you listen to the message it no longer flashes. If another call comes in after you listen to your messages it will flash. No sound only a flashing orange light
