Yes, Jean, according to the Operating Instructions booklet, the "Talking Caller ID" can be turned off.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

Yes, you don't have to use it. I never do. it's annoying. you can see the caller ID read out very clearly on the phone. I'm still very pleased with this purchase.

Go to Menu then Initial Settings then Ringer Settings press Select then Ringer Volume press the up arrow and Select Silent Mode for the phones you do not want to ring. Hope this helps.

You can turn down the ringer volume all the way until it is off. There is no external switch it must be done from the menu.

I think all of the sets announce caller Id--I disabled the feature early on and I think I had to do it at each of the four units individually.

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.
