When reviewing a person's Caller ID info (name &amp; #) on screen, can you press just one button to call them? What if they are in different area code?

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

The button on the back will flash your phone number on the screen. It's kind of a dandy feature, helps some of us low tech seniors from stumbling to access our own number.

The caller ID appears on the display B4 U pick-up. Phone is like older style phones, once U pick up receiver your connected. No button to push.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

'California' IS the name. Caller ID is dependent upon your local telephone company service and how they represent another carrier's number. For example, some local telephone companies only give number information and no name, while others give you name and number. This phone allows for both types. If the number is a familiar number to you then you can program it into the Address Book with the person's name. This way the next time he/she calls, the phone will announce their name, as opposed to 'California.' Here in Northern NJ, most callers from cells come up as 'Wireless Caller' on the Caller ID with their number. 'California' IS the name.

You can add multiple "emergency" numbers which can be called by pressing the emergency button on the back and then a single digit. If the user calls 911 or your public emergency number, no one else is notified.

When a call comes in it says "Call from [whatever is listed in phonebook]." For cell phone calls it says "Call from [state phone is from] call." If you edit the name and put it the the phones phonebook, it will say their name. It pronounces everyones name poorly. Kind of amusing. Talking caller ID can be turned off.

On an Asterisk based system . No... It requires you to dial *97 or program the message button to call that.

The LCD display will show caller ID info if you have that feature through your phone service. When I had basic land line service(no caller ID) it did not display caller info, when I switch a VoIP phone service that included caller ID, it started showing caller info.

Yes you can. It had caller ID too, once u enter the number and name it identifies who is calling. Otherwise it identifies the number that is calling

It does not announce who the caller is. You need to look at your phone to see specifically who is calling.

Yes, it announces the Caller ID name. A call from a mobile phone is announced "Call from cell phone IL or IN or whatever state the area code is from ". Other calls are announces with the name that shows in Caller ID.

Yes. It actually "talks" the name on the caller id. (Sometimes kind of annoying -"Call from cell phone,etc") Also, A message shows on my television screen, (although this is probably a feature from Comcast)

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,

The only thing I can think of is that different phone company's info gets listed differently between carriers or there may be something on the phone's menu during setup that could determine what info you are given with the caller ID. Mine always lists the caller according to how they are listed with the phone company.

I havent tried it yet but I do believe you can call more than one.If you press the intercom button it will ask you all? or which handset if only one.I checked my phone and that is the way it is preprogrammed

Yes they will assign a new number and they ask you what area code you will most be using the phone in. I've even changed my number, using an area code way off where I'm actually located just to mess with friend. Hope this helps. Happy Hollidays!!!!
