Question 1

Does the answering machine say the time and date the caller left a message? (Time and Date Stamp)

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there is no time-stamp on the voice message. The "work around" is press CID, which displays Caller List, arrow the direction shown to display who called. Each of the past calls is displayed with Name, Number, Time and Date on one screen, whether or not they left a message.

I was disappointed that the recording did not append the date and time, but not enough to dislike the product.

Question 2

My spouse and I are both blind.  We need to use the intercom aspect of the phone but we can't figure out how to do that.  The manual is not helpful at all.?  HELP!  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Page 66 of the user manual (I know you're blind and I'm not insensitive to that, but I'm aware of various adaptive devices) explains that to make an intercom call from one handset to another you press the menu button/key (middle button in very top row) then INT, which becomes the left-most button in the top row of 3 buttons. Then you have to select the name/number of the handset you want to call--the default is Base and you can scroll down through the handsets using the large 4-way button. The handsets are displayed (after Base) in numerical order, starting with 1, even if you've assigned names to the handsets. When you have the correct handset shown (from the default or list, above) you press Select, which is the middle button in the top row of three keys. You answer a page by pressing either the talk or speakerphone keys to the left of the large navigation key. The Talk key is on top, the Speakerphone key is under it.

Alternatively, you don't have to select a specific handset to page, you can page the handset you want by simply entering the number of the handset after the MENU and INT buttons are pressed. The base is unit is designated as 0 (zero).

Hope this is understandable. I live alone and have never used the function, but I just looked at the manual (on my computer) and got two of my phones and it does work as I described.

Question 3

Does this phone link to all Bluetooth phones?  I have a Samsung stratosphere II (i415).  thanks.

Accepted Answer

Probably not. It did link to my Samsung flip-phone and works reasonably well. There is a delay when answering that is annoying especially if the person calling you lacks patience and thinks they were disconnected and hangs-up. My friend has an iPhone and a large house and says that the Bluetooth disconnects if he gets too far from the base.

Question 4

is there compatability with a non blue tooth headset?

Accepted Answer

Yes, has a jack for 2.5mm wired headset. I'm using with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106258

Question 5

The time on my phone is 1 hour ahead.  I would go to settings and change to the correct time, but for some inexplicable reason, the time would always go back to being 1 hour ahead.  This happens with all 3 handsets that I have.  How do I change the time "permanently" on this phone?  Help!!

Accepted Answer

Phones may reset time based on your telephone exchange time. Is your phone service provider in different time zone?
