Corded Speakerphone
Customer Information Guide
Introduction
The VoiceAnnounce 2025T corded speakerphone supports ad-
vanced communications features for convenience, security, and
improved access to today’s popular telephone network services.
VoiceAnnounce®Caller ID and Call Waiting ID
VoiceAnnounce caller ID lets you know who’s calling without you
having to run to the phone. The caller’s identity is announced over
the built-in speaker for incoming calls, and over the speaker or
handset for call waiting calls. You can adjust the volume of the
announcement and/or disable the announcement (see the section
on setting up your personal preferences).
Call Management Options (Call Waiting Deluxe)
The call management options put you in charge of your calls. You
can send the waiting caller a message asking them to hold, add the
incoming caller into your conversation, drop the existing call and
answer the new call, or send the call to voice mail.
Hands-Free Speakerphone
Talk while you do other things or let others participate in the call - all
with the push of a button. You can MUTE the microphone if you
just want to listen to the call.
