Can the handset be programmed with a descriptive name, rather than just a number?

I really don't know never tried to program it that way, mine is programmed as Hand set 2.

No. Each handset does display it's number i.e. "handset 1" on the lcd display so the functionality you are asking about would serve no purpose other than to increase the cost of an already expensive product. How would you label them? By the room you keep them in, until you forget to return the correct handset tho the proper room. You're overthinking what is a simple and effective system. The best feature of these phones is that they are intuitive in programing and easy to use.

I don't recall seeing that option in the manual. As I registered each handset the names were, in order, Handset 1, Handset 2 and Handset 3. You might check the manual to be certain.
70164
No, I have ready the manual and there does not seem to be a way to change the number to anything but a number 1 - 12.

The Caller ID function will show up on the screen of your phone, but the headset will not read the name to you into your ear (at least, not that I'm aware of).

Yes. You can ring any handset, or the base, by knowing its single digit ID number. The phone rings a different tone when summoned by intercom.

No, you cannot. However, you can do so using the assigned number button on the radio unit.

Yes. You can also tell it which line to default to when you dial out, and this can be set on a per-handset basis.

You can use the dialpad of any regular telephone handset to enter the numbers into this unit. There is no "review" feature available on this model. Regards,

You don't program the number, it comes preprogrammed so that when you push button it dials 911. I don't see any way that you could change that, sorry.

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

Hi Sheila, I'm not 100% sure; I ordered this for a friend, not myself, but I did find it says "handset speakerphone" under the Product Description of the link to the phone, so I would guess you can! Hope this helps! Allison

Yes. It tries to pronounce the name. If no name is given it says the phone number. It says 'unavailable' otherwise

Yes, it does, if the callers carrier supports it. Sometimes here in Texas, it will just say "Texas caller" without the name. It all depends. Cell companies give you the option as to what your caller ID is. Some higher models of Panasonic have talking caller ID, which calls out the name or number of the party calling. This is a great phone though.

Yes, there is a red light that flashes when you have caller IDs to check. When you press the Caller ID button, the phone displays and announces the phone number. However, if someone calls who is programmed into the phones memory, the phone displays the number and the voice announces the name that is programmed into the phone.

Yes. It doesn't know it is a cell phone or a regular phone. It just dial stored number in sequence.

You can store numbers from the caller id list to your directory, which means you can change the names of the callers and the phone will announce the name that is tied to that number. I am assuming that you do have caller id through your carrier. For example: the name is Doe Susan - you changed it to Susan and the phone will announce Susan

Without picking the phone up and looking at it, I do believe it has quite a few different ring tones and it does have a function that you can assign a different ring to different names.

It does SHOW the name/number for a call-waiting incoming call. However, the talking caller ID only announces when it's the first call not a call-waiting.

Sorry but we misplaced our instruction book so we are having to enter names and numbers into handset. I don'tthink this answers your questions but only one I have.
