does it just ring ? or does it ring forever ?

It just rings, but mine may have been damaged in shipment, because sometimes it doesn't count down.

It's supposed to have a short ring and a longer ring; however the short ring doesn't work on my timer. Not real happy with it. You get what you pay for!

If I recall correctly (and it's been a few years since I bought this thing), you set the "code" by opening the main box and there is a sort of small little card with what look like little "pins" on it. You switch one or the other to the "on" position making sure the rest are all set to the "off" position. Frankly I wasn't very happy with this item. It wasn't the ring tones that were disappointing. It was the door ringer button. It only worked now and then, and if you didn't press it in just the right place it didn't ring. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I wouldn't buy another one either. Hope yours works better than mine did. I was really looking forward to having a door bell too! Very disappointing!

In Whitelist mode, the only incoming calls will be from numbers you input/program into the system. I've noticed if any number, other than the ones I allow, the phone will ring once and then stop. I got this for my mother who received relentless telemarketer calls and others scamming for something, but this has worked perfectly. Only her friends and family can get through. Hope this helps.

Yes, I really like this timer because it rings a long time. It seems to continue ringing until I turn it off, which sometimes a couple of minutes!

The ringer on your phone will 'only' ring if your phone is plugged into the telephone port and then only after the code number is entered. If your phone or answering machine is plugged into the answering port, it will not ring no matter what.... you only know you have a message is when the answering machine message number lights up. I have found this product to be the best thing I ever bought for silence from telemarketers and robo calls. Have not had any since I put in on the line. Hope this helps

No. After it goes around, the sound changes slightly. It keeps on going, though.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and when the phone rings, my phone plays its ringtone and the speaker plays a generic ring. So I get two different rings.

No, your cell phone is the only thing that rings. I would suggest buying a cordless phone that pairs with your cell phone from Best Buy or other store. They are about $40 for a double handset. You can connect up to three cell phones and a land line if you wish. I have one and it works great, shows missed calls from my cell phone, keeps my contacts once loaded and paired. This phone is in the box in my closet!

No, it does not. It just rings once and you have to turn it off yourself to avoid overcooking.

Tools you are able to set the volume to 7 - there are a lot of different LOUD noises it will make. Also in that same tool you are able to have the ring tone keep increasing as it rings as well. Mine rings and vibrates at the same time - yeah it makes you jump but at my age I need a jump now and then :) Probably cell to cell sometimes is hard to hear the person calling - but I work in a cement billing with diesel trucks running so usually if I say I can hear you - people can increase their voice :)

While paired, my iPhone still rings, and the ring does not come through the speaker system, nor does the phone call if I answer it.However, the dings I receive when I get an email play through the speaker system, instead of on my iPhone.The speaker does not have a microphone - it is a speaker only.

Yes, the handset has a its own ringer. It's been several years and I'm still pleased with the phone. The main base is not portable...as the additional hand held phones....Nora

It has ten different tones to choose from and can be set different for home and up to two cell phones with the bluetooth.Most all of the rings are different tone variations of a regular phone ring and there are a few that are musical but nothing that is a song or such. Hope that answers your question.

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

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.

If you have call waiting, and you are on a call and another call comes in, it will beep. Since it only works when the phone is off hook (handset is off the phone cradle) it cannot ring when there is an incoming call. The phone will ring, and then you need to remove the handset from the phone for the headset to connect. I think that with the handset lifter you can answer and pick up the call from the headset, but I do not have the lifter so I cannot answer fully. The Plantronics website has more details on how this works

No. It does not have a bell ring when it completes its rotation. It does click as it is rotating. But no bell.
