I'm sorry I don't know. I had to return the item. Many of the key pads were sticking, making it hard to place a call. I think I received a defective system.
1416142
Yes it does. There is a light and flashing number to indicate how many messages there are.

Yes, it knows if it is open or closed and also reports how long it has been that way. It will message (as long as you have messaging enabled) if it has opened or closed by any device or button too and if it is open or closed by that other button or remote etc. I don't know how it knows but the inside button must get the info direct and transmits it to the WiFi hub.

No, the other phones connected to this Xlink do not notify when text messages come in. You have to monitor the cell phone for these type messages.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

Yes. I returned it because the notifications were not reliable. I got most of them quickly, but about 1/4 alerts would either not be delivered or would be delivered late.

Yes, there is a visible alert that there are new messages. As soon as you pick up a phone it tells you to play new message. As you are listening to the messages it tells you from whom and when the call was received. I have to tell you that I have had this phone system in my home for quite a while now and love it. I was so impressed with it that I bought a system for both of my children that live in other states and we have very long, very clear conversations on them. I would recommend these phones to anyone looking for just an easy to use phone that is clear and convenient.

no, your alert is thru the phone at the base station or the other phone. Not sure about adding it to your existing doorbell

Yes. If the person calling leaves a message it will alert you with a flashing number in the center of the charging unit. Push the top of the circle to listen, or pick up the handset and select message and it will play. You can press 3 to delete the message. Its all the operating pamphlet or you can go on line and download a full PDF instruction manual. It's really all very easy.

Yes, the unit sounds an audible alarm. If connected to a system, it also causes all other detectors to sounds, the base unit to sound, and alerts the monitoring company (subscription required).

I'm confused, it has a blinking arrow that alerts you that you have a message if that's what you are asking??
990525
No, but a little message comes up on the screen to let you know it's on or off. You can also make it "beep."
702120
Not on the one I have, you have to look at it. A bright magnified red button with the number of messages is shown.

Yes, on the base and the handsets you can check previous callers and hear voice messages

Yes there is Locator on the Base. Also there is Intercom on base & handsets.
1123608
Yes. As far as I know. This is one of the few phones that have a voicemail indicating light on the base.
989082
Yes, when there is a new message, the machine sounds a beep every once in a while (about every minute), along with flashing a small light. Once you listen to the message the beep and the flashing stop.

No. It does not give a warning tone. It alarms when the timer gets to zero. It has been reliable so we like it. But it is pretty simple and straight forward without any bells and whistles.
