does this phone flash if you got a call while out but they left no message? Does the corded phone work on batteries, not plug into the wall

The phone will flash if anyone stays on the line long enough to get the answering machine to pick up; they don't have to have left a message, but the machine will think there is one recorded. The corded phone plugs into a 120-volt outlet; the charger for the cordless phone also is 120.

No, if no message is given then you get NO Flash , ( only message recieved gets a Flash Red light ) My corded phones DO have batteries , i put them in their charger each night . The Corded phones do have a long charge time & you can talk nearly all day seems.

The wall/desk unit plugs into regular household electricity. Have not noticed any flashing to indicate missed calls without messages, but that means I haven't paid attention to that. I use the Menu, then Caller List to see who called and was too wimpy or time-sensitive to leave a message.

Phone does not flash unless a message has been left or the caller has stayed on the line long enough to trip the answering system. To check and see if you've received any call, you must press the "CID" button. Then you will be able to see who's called. Both the corded phone and the handset show on the screen the message, "MISSED CALL". Press the CID button on either phone for a complete listing of your most recent calls. The corded phone does not uses batteries (batteries are used in the portable handset), it must be plugged in to work. All of this is explained in the owners manual.

not, does not flash if you do not leave messages. I don´t have the corded vesrion, but I suppose you cannot use the phone other than pluged and do not need batteries because is connected to the electricity the whole appliance.

The phone does flash even if the caller left no message. You must plug the corded phone/answering machine into a wall outlet.

I bought this phone for my mom, but I believe she presses the black arrows under the caller ID in order to scroll down to see the last calls. The flash tells you a call came in and once you press the black arrows to review the call, the flash is eliminated.

It has a display which reads, "New Voicemail". Haven't noticed a flashing light. However the handsets flash when the phone rings. My wife and I have a two year old, so nap time is precious. The upstairs base and cordless phone are turned to silent. The downstairs phone is on medium volume. Great phones, we have never been more satisfied.

This wall phone doesn't need batteries. Mine has an adjustable ringer. I really like it. I have it in the kitchen with a long cord.

These phones were replacements for my telephone system so I don't know if they work without the system. Even my jacks in the location ONLY work with systems phones. I do not use batteries with these phones. They must be wired thru the electrical system because when there is a power failure the phones don't work. (maybe just line 1, I believe)

the phone will work when the power goes out provided that your phone company service is still on. the phone gets it power from the phone company unlike a portable unit that has a base that plugs into a wall outlet.

I personally did not care for this phone after using it for some time. It didn't hold a charge well and did not hang on the wall. Plus, the reception was sometimes poor.I hope this helps!

Hi Jay-it does not. It flashes when there is an incoming call but does not stay on.

It needs batteries for the caller ID window. It has a very short cord. You may need to get a longer one. Its a nice phone for what I need it for. I need it for my basement & kitchen. In case my phone rings & I cant get to the cordless. Its good so I don't miss a call.

this phone has their batteries but has a 110 volt charger/stand to keep it charge when not in conversation. It does not work without batteries.

There are no batteries used in this phone. The phone will still work with a power outage, but the answering machine part of the phone will not work. Hope this helps you.

It will work to receive calls without the power supply plugged in, and if I recall correctly, you can also make outgoing calls. The display is blank without a power supply plugged in. I don't remember if the caller id directory shows the history for the period when the phone was unplugged.Regards, Dan

I like the phone as I needed a corded phone because when power goes out, the cordless phones don't work.

Yes it flashes.I bought this for my 76 year old mother. She does not have a land line only has a cellphone.It does not ring loud enough to hear in another room. I got her this and it works perfect.

It plugs into an electrical outlet, no batteries. I would not recommend this phone though, it's terrible. The answering machine often deletes messages while your listening to them, the display does not back light, and a number of other faults. We are replacing the phone because we are unhappy with it. Good luck to you.

The phone does not 'flash' but has a "night mode" setting which takes indoor shots with lighting within a room. It actually has several camera settings as well.

Yes the charger/base plugs into wall to charge the light battery, then you can lift the light out of its base and use it with no cords attached, then when you are done using it you can place the light back into the charger base just like you would a cordless phonephone!
