Yes it does...plus call waiting caller id....and it announces the name of the person calling as long as you are not on the phone

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. You can make the ring tone from a "cell call" the same one you use on your cell so you can tell the difference and know the source of the call when your phone rings. Once you set up the bluetooth connection, anytime your cell phone is close enough, the landline will automatically pick up the call. Also, all the contacts from the cell were downloaded to the landline phone so it announces who is calling based on recognition of the source number.

The phone call is connected immediately but does not show who is calling on the caller id

I don't believe it does. What I remember is that I listened for the phone of the person it was dialing to ring. This was during testing. What I remember is it called my contacts with no pressing of the button. I never needed to press the button after I programmed and tested the instrument. Unfortunately for my contacts, the machine called them at 2 a.m. Not good for them or me because it woke them and they called me.

If you have the number stored in your phone it will tell you when the person calls. If the number isn't saved it just tells you that there is a call and does not tell you the number.

No, It will only tell you the phone that the call is on (you can pair more than 1 phone to it). for example: "Call on Phone One"It only does caller ID for Text Messages.

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.

The phone lets me know who is calling. I don't think there is the option of a different ring for different callers. Maybe someone else can answer your 2nd question better than me. Also read more about what the technical information about the phone.

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.

So that's two definite "NO"s and a few "YES"s. One more time, I have caller I.D. through my telephone company -- will this phone display the name/number of whoever is calling?

Just an FYI - Another responder mentioned the bells beneath the base, but those bells are for decoration and ring only when you use the crank on the side - it has nothing to do with the actual ring when someone calls. When someone calls, the ringer sounds like any other corded phone. It is not antique sounding.

The phone does have caller announce. The only problem I have with the voice is that if the caller is listed as letters, such as USA the voice will read "yousa" as if it's a word. Also, some English words are pronounced strangely, in that Utah is pronounced "Oohtah".

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
