User questions & answers

Question:	Will this handset work with 51203 base
Answer:	It is not hands free.
Question:	does it have a headset jack
Answer:	I can't answer 100%, but I would say yes it would. That was what it was hooked up to when I 1st tried to put in the 1 touch phone numbers, but I tried it at my home on a land line and had the same problem. But it should not make any difference. I returned it for a refund and ordered a version of the same concept by Clarity. Reviews were not great on it also, but I guess I will find out. Seems like such a great concept, so why does someone just spend another few bucks more and manufacture a quality version? Good luck
Question:	Does this phone have caller block
Answer:	Once each number is programmed, then to make a call one DOES PUSH PHOTOCALL button and then the corresponding number / photo for the person she wishes to call. Therefore, two buttons need to be pushed to call one person that is already programmed.Note: on the phone we received the photo call button is NOT RED - it is white with red print.My mother in law can't see very well and the "0" button was blacked along with a black line under the photo call button. Also, no photos were placed in the numbers - just LARGE first letter of each person and then balance written small. A list of association of these people were typed and taped under the receiver to aid anyone that does help her - she lives in a nursing home.Hope this helps
Question:	does this phone also have an answering machine
Answer:	My wife changed the 911 key to call my cell. Now the center picture and the 911 both call the same number.The other pictures are turned off. Not sure if you can turn the 911 key off.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it work with magic jack
Answer:	How do you set # of rings?
Question:	If the caller hangs up rather than leaving a message, does the machine record the silence for a few seconds or not record any of it
Answer:	Our is set to show a flashing # of calls missed, no sound...we don't want to announce that we're not home. I am quite sure it can be set to also give an audible signal when there are missed calls.
Question:	Can I screen calls
Answer:	Yes, but on mine the voice is ridiculously loud. It's much louder during screening than on the recorded message. (Don't put this machine in your bedroom.)
Question:	Do you need an AT&T phone or will it work with any brand
Answer:	No. The machine operates between the phone and the outlet. Plug the unit into the outlet. There's a place to connect the phone line to the unit. The same line you would use to connect to the outlet connects to the unit instead.

A white-backlit LCD and enlarged backlit numeric call dial keypad make calling quick and simple in any light conditions.

Audible/Visible Call Alerts
