Can this phone announce the caller?

Yes, if you allow it. You can program if off. I did. It announces as your directory list is stored. Could be annoying.

The caller announce is the best feature of this phone. Its nice and loud (if you want) and you don't have to walk across the room to know who is calling. Get this phone!!!!!!!!! You won't be sorry.

Yes it can, in a very monotone robotic female voice. And only twice so you will need to keep surrounding noise down.

Yes, It does announce the caller which is the main reason I purchased this phone.
373332
Yes, but only numbers you've programmed in your dialing list. We eliminated our home phone and have our old home number in the cell phone so when we're away from home, we miss nothing. I would never go back to the old way.

If you use the Motorola app, yes. If you use Google app on android, no, it will announce the phone number instead.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

Yes it announces who the caller is (if the caller is in your contacts) or will announce the phone number, then gives you the option to "answer" or "ignore". This specific feature is very nice because you don't have to look at your phone (i.e. while driving) to see who is calling. Another feature is that all sound goes to the Bluetooth, so I can have my phone on vibrate and it will let me also know when I have a text by sending my "text" sound to the device.

It will receive voice commands but doesn't hear what I say very well.I don't know about call announce.

IF the caller's name is in your directory. It only announces numbers otherwise. It will announce a listed caller just like you have it in your directory. ie: Call from Tom Smith, or Call from "Insurance" (if that is how the number is programed into your telephone.

Yes, it has an intercom feature. You press the menu button, scroll through the options, select the INTERCOM option, and choose the phone you want to call.

I don't think so. It does have a "hold" button, but I don't know how you'd alert another phone to pick the call up.

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.

yes, and is one of the advantages about this phone, knowing in advance who is calling.
1277415
Yes. It announces callers by name not number. I'm using mine now and it just told me my friend was calling by full name.

Yes it does. It even voices it out loud so you can hear from a distance who it is. My father and I have been very happy with this phone.

I haven't used that feature if it indeed has it. I will say 99% that it doesn't. It's a good phone. I actually used it to replace a $3k clunky system a local vendor sold me upon opening my business that proved useless. We use this phone at a retail store & restaurant- it handles all of our incoming calls quite well & the caller ID has proven very useful for pesky marketing calls while trying to do business without announcing it aloud. Best of luck!

Yes, however your phone service has to have this feature turned on. The phone will capture the caller ID.

Yes this phone does have caller announce. It can be turned off and on. It is very clear. The only thing is that it only announces what is available on the caller ID. For instance if a call comes in as a cell call it states that it is a cell call. Now at this point (I just thought of it) I am unaware if you have programmed in someones name if it still says "cell call"or if it goes by what you programmed into your phone book for that number. Interesting thought ... more on my to do list, lol. But I hope I have covered your question.

yes, it can answer or call out on either a bluetooth device or a land line.

Yes, however you will still have to speak into your phone for the person calling to hear you.
