I am now on my second at&t phone set and once again I have a battery issue which made me replace the previous set in the first place! I enjoyed its functions but now I have decided to purchase a different phone set to replace it and will go with a different company this time!!! but yes you can silence the caller id by going into menu and select caller id and choose on or off to both the base or handset. if I did not have this battery issue I would highly recommend this phone.......

Yes, but you can also turn it off. There is a switch on the side. I turn mine off. I do not want the phone to answer by itself when I am not around, like a gosh. Lol

Yes, it does have the voice announced caller ID. It is limited to the base station as well

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

Yes it announces who the caller is (if the caller is in your contacts) or will announce the phone number, then gives you the option to "answer" or "ignore". This specific feature is very nice because you don't have to look at your phone (i.e. while driving) to see who is calling. Another feature is that all sound goes to the Bluetooth, so I can have my phone on vibrate and it will let me also know when I have a text by sending my "text" sound to the device.

You either hold down the button that has the call symbol on it. Our just turn off your Bluetooth

Yes. The ringer can be turned off by scrolling the menu until you see ringer. Once there, select ringer volume. Lower volume until ringer is turned off. I hope this helps.

If your phone service has caller ID, the phone system will announce incoming calls through the speaker so you can screen incoming calls. You can also store phone numbers that you do not want to eceive and the phone system will block those calls after just one short ring. Very nice way to get rid of those telemarketing calls.

Yes, under settings caller id annc. You have to disable on the base and each handset

Yes it does announce the caller and the announcement is pretty clear. But if you have friends with the non traditional names like I do, then the names sound a bit off half the time. Other than that, the feature is all good. You can turn off the announcement if you want, too.

Yes you can turn them all off if you want, you can also turn off the ring tone on each individual phone.

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

Yes. You can disable at each individual phone as well as the base unit. It's nice to disable, especially when you have company in the house, I do not like other people hearing who is calling.

I have never experienced that event. However, I never got the machine to block numbers that were a nuisance. I found that having ID Caller on my phone to identify the caller. If it is someone/thing I do not know, I do not answer. Works every time!

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

per the handbook (pg 34), it states: If you do not want the first ring from a number on the call block list to sound, turn the first ring setting to "Off". The default setting is "On". So to answer your question, yes it can be done. Also for any other question, here is the URL from the Panasonic site for the manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF

I'm afraid that there is no way to turn off that annoying(indeed) indicator voice...
