A:AnswerIf you use the SPEAKER feature and turn the volume to the highest setting, the audio volume is very loud and quality of talk is not affected.
Also, there are volume settings for the RINGER that can make the sound heard from quite a distance. I have one handset in my home office with RINGER on low (so as not to be disturbed during the work day), and other handset is located in my kitchen (approx 35' to 45' away). That RINGER is set on the 3rd highest volume and I can still hear it in my office. It could go 2 settings higher, if needed.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerIt does not announce. It does show number or caller ID info on the handset screen of each handset. I also have Xfinity cable which provides the ability to show caller ID on my TV screen
A:AnswerYou will have to manually add the number that you want to block to the list on the handset, after you add the numbers on your list it will blocked them automatically.

A:AnswerIt is one phone system with 2 handsets. The phone on the larger base is the main line and the other can be placed in another room. They both ring when you have an incoming call.
