A:AnswerIt will announce caller and you can accept or not. If you program the number in your directory, I would think it would go through, but I've not received any automated calls like that yet, so can't truly say. I programmed doctor office numbers in, but they've all made personal calls so far. Good question.
A:AnswerHere is an excerpt from the owner's manual -----
When the message alert tone is set to On, and there is at least one
new message, the telephone base beeps every ten seconds. By
default, the message alert tone is set to off.
So, you would need to go into the Settings and set this feature to ON.
A:AnswerThe phone uses Ni-MH rechargeable batteries , model #BT183342. There are two batteries in a sealed pack with a wire attached that plugs into each handset. I hope this information is helpful.
A:AnswerI can't say about Vonage. But I will say, I am not thrilled about these phones. I replaced a Panasonic (I miss) set which gave up the ghost after 6 years hard use. The AT&T phones are not as good. Issues: 1. Volume is low even when set on the highest level. 2. Phones were poorly designed so as not to stand up, the charging terminals protrude such that the phone must lay flat when off the charger...makes them harder to locate. 3. Navigation on screen isn't easy to navigate and back-lighting is blase. 4. Ergonomic feel of the phone isn't comfortable, feels like you are holding a box pf spaghetti to your ear. Overall, disappointing technology coming from the once king of the industry. I hoped for better...I give them 2 stars out of 5
A:AnswerEach phone has a volume control. Both wife and I have hearing aids so we may not be a good choice for info. I am pleased with the phones and I have Tinnitus but wife is a little unhappy that the sound is not loud enough for her on speakers. She has had hearing problems since her childhood doctor chose to puncture her eardrums when she had infections as a child. I think the phones are fine and all 4 seem to be the same to me. Hope this helps. Ken
A:AnswerNo registration needed for bases & yes you can turn off the features good luck. Editing unwanted phone numbers i believe this can be done. I have not tried using that feature
