My mom is very slow. Does this phone allow 8 rings before the answering machine comes on?

Our voice mail comes through the phone company at no charge. I don't use that phone feature.

Ours has 6 rings. I timed that and it is 22.5 seconds from the first ring till the answering machine picks up. Maybe you can time your Mom. I know it takes longer just to acknowledge the phone is ringing as you age. Good luck.

You can set the rings to as many as eight if you need to before the answering machine comes on.

No! And don't buy this phone if you can help it! It's difficult to set up, does not allow you to record the outgoing announcement for the answering machine and won't allow you to delete 'some' of the messages but ALL of the messages.

At the three or gFour highest speeds -Yes. Other speeds are bearable. I run it on the third from highest speed and cannot hear the phone ring.

No this phone does not have an answering machine feature, you would have to purchase a separate answering machine.

Yes. My mom has an answering machine that still works. I beg to differ with one of the answers. In fact, you CAN answer incoming calls with the button.

When a call comes in, it does ring on all 6 of the units. I have never tried to answer a call from the base unit, only the handsets. And yes, I did get instructions.

Hello, I am sorry I won't be able to answer you. My mother wanted this phone and I got it for her.

Yes. Numbers 2 through 9, and the * and # keys can all be programmed for one touch dialing! My mom still likes her phone. She's legally blind and can call anyone of us (her kids) and some friends easily.

My phone only rings when the calling party actually presses a 1 when asked by the machine. Otherwise, if the caller stays on the line, the call is routed to my answering machine. The phone never rings if the 1 is not pressed. There are some alternate settings that allow one to easily bypass the telebouncer and make the phone ring right away if that is needed. I have used that feature to accept calls from auto callers that I have asked to call my number and, when done, I reposition the telebouncer to the block telemarker position. We love this thing. Hope this helps.

I really don't know if you can do that or not, but call them.1 888 345 5509. They will be happy to answer even if you don't have their service. It's a great phone and I'm sure your Mom will love it.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

Yes, you are able to program all the phone to ring at the same time. I have mine set to do that.

Yes. There is a ringer setting that allows you to set it anywhere from off to 4 or 5 levels of loudness. I love these phones and just bought a second set for my mother. The sound is clear and I have left a phone off the cradle all night and still talked to a friend for an hour in the morning with no problem.

The phone can be answered by either the touch screen on the front or open up and hit OK button to answer. If your Dad is anything like my mom I probably would not recommend this phone as the touch screen locks itself to prevent butt dialing and so you have to unlock before you can answer it. If you open up the phone to answer you can set it to automatically be on speaker which is great for anyone with hearing aids. I love the keyboard for texting which is the main reason I've held out so long in upgrading to the new tech savvy phones.
