Are the handsets back-lit? Basically I asking if you can see the numbers in the dark or is the color screen the only thing that lights up?

The display is backlit when charging (can be disabled) but the keys will light up when ringing and when you press one.

John - The LCD will illuminate with the dialing buttons when the handset is active, and turns off when the handset is idle to conserve battery life. Thanks!

When not using phone it shows time and handset number. While you are talking it shows how long conversation is. Then of course has the option to check on missed calls, delete them, etc. Also red light on when charging if a message is left the light blinks. I am very satisfied with this phone set.

No, the display is not backlit. It seemed to me that I read someplace that there was the possibility of back lighting, but it must have been wishful thinking.

Not really. We have this one and we have to pick up the phone and look very carefully to see who the call is from. Sometimes the message is cryptic. I would recommend something with a light behind it.

It's nota back lit keyboard but because it'sa touch screen.. You can still do things in the dark

The key pad on each handset lights up when you receive an incoming call or when you pick up any handset to make a call. Once you place the handset back in the base or charger, the lights on the key pad turn off.

Yes! Touching ANY button on the handsets lights up the keys... Makes it quite easy to place calls in the dark.

The screen is most definitely NOT backlit. The only lights on this phone are the Incoming Call light above the screen, and the Mute and Speaker buttons when activated. If you go to the official description at telephones.att.com, they make no mention of backlighting (or Dect 6.0 cordless compatibility either - Amazon refuses to correct these errors). The model with full screen backlighting is the CL4940.

No, the keypad does not light up. The numbers you enter are displayed but the keyes do not backlight.

As far as I can tell, they only stay lit for about 10 sec. for any activity, such as picking up the handset from the base, placing or answering a call. If you're not talking with someone, you can push most any key and they will lite up again, but just for the 10 sec. I haven't tried looking into the settings to see if there is a way to extend the lite time. I imagine that it's a battery saving action to not have it lit for very long. My husband and I have been pretty satisfied with our set. For the price, it's a great deal. Maybe someone else will answer your question better. Hope that helps some.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.

About the key board being lit, unfortunately that is not the case. But the touch screen is very lively, any slight vibration and the home screen lights up! Hope this helps!

This thing only lights up when you are on the phone with your headset; if you aren't using your phone it isn't on. If you are using the hand receiver it does not light up either.

The number screen for the time is a little under an inch tall - and yes, it does light up in the dark - and moreover, stays lit during the day-time hours as well. Hope this helps.

Hi,It has a little beep. It also has a light. I don't pay that much attention to the workings of it, but I know if I've been out all day and I come home and there's a message there will be a quite, intermittent beep. If I check the caller IDs without checking the messages, that beep changes to a small blue flashing LED.I'm pretty happy with these phones.Hope I've helped. Happy Holidays!!
