John I would imagine that the caller presses a button (*?) to change the volume - similar to using phone banking or a call centre menu. But I'm guessing. Haven't seen a phone that will do this. I note that on the Easy Answer the caller has to dial "0" to end the call or the receiver end is set to timeout. Don't know why it can't just detect a silent line & shut down like some mobiles do.

I am intrigued that, with the EasyAnswer phone, they claim that the caller can control things like the volume. How would that be done? What does the caller do? How is it signalled? Can it be done during the call? It's an interesting feature. Do any other phones have it?

I was told that the Picophone can be programmed to auto answer but its twice the price & I haven't seen that either! A Tunstall rep told me last week, that their carephone(s) can be set to auto answer, although I haven't followed this up. My last client asking for auto answer was concerned that the double glazing cold-call &c would be put straight through, causing confusion/annoyance. Don't think any available phone will arrange for the caller to be put through on typing a code.
