A:AnswerNot to my knowledge to both questions. There is no port. Need to use speakerphone button. The newer model audio ringer and dialing out sounds distorted or it could be comcast poor service. Battery life quality has gone down from my old vtech and it did annouce who was calling which this one justs beeps. Older ipads have jacks.
