RINGER VOLUME CAN BE ADJUSTED!!!! - I am very pleased with this phone system. It has a large easy to read screen and large buttons. I love the photo speed dial and call blocker functions. It is very easy to set up. Out of the box the ringer is very loud, but IT CAN be adjusted to a lower level by going through the prompts on the cordless handset. It does have a built in answering machine as well. Phone calls sound crystal clear and you can even boost the sound while on a call or slow down the caller's message while listening to your voice messages on the answering machine which is excellent especially while trying to jot down any notes or phone numbers that the caller leaves. You can even program in reminders for yourself. I have the corded/cordless system and also purchased the extra photo handset extention which works flawlessly with this system. I may get the pendant in the future. I have Voip over service from vonage and all features work great with it including call blocker. I highly recommend this phone system for not just the senior and disabled community, but for anyone who wants an easy to use phone system with large display and excellent sound quality. Also, I was not offered any free incentives for leaving this review. I paid full price for it and I would do it do it again in a heartbeat .πŸ’— πŸ’—πŸ’— Review: Great phone for ill seniors!

Instead, the Caller ID is displayed on the screen of the base and handset if you are subscribed to Caller ID service from your provider. Also, the Visual Ringer Indicator on the base and handset flashes. Thank you for your interest! **Q: Is answering machine included?** A: Yes it is, and messages are crystal clear. You can even press a button on your device that will slow down the callers messages which comes in very handy when jotting down notes or phone numbers that the caller may leave. **Q: If you are not hard of hearing, can you adjust the volume to a regular ( normal!** A: Sara - Yes, you can adjust the listening volume by sliding the β–ΌVOL from the main base or the β–ΌVOL on the cordless handset during a call. If you are referring to the ringer volume when there is an incoming call, the answer is yes. Please note that the ringer volume of the main base is independent from the handset ringer. Here's how you can adjust the volume of the base and handset ringer: 1. Press Menu when the handset is not in use. 2. Press β–Ό or β–² to scroll to Ringers, then press Select. 3. Press β–Ό or β–² to choose Handset or Base, then press Select. 4. Press Select to select Ringer Volume. 5. Press β–Ό or β–² to hear the sample of each volume level. 6. Press Select to save your preference. Hope this helps! **Q: answering machine: When someone leaves a message can you hear them and pick up the call, or do you have to wait until it's recorded to play it back?** A: Carrie - You can intercept a call or message while it's being recorded on the VTech SN5147. Thank you for your interest! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT!!! YES... RINGER VOLUME CAN BE ADJUSTED!!!! *by C***L on June 29, 2019* I am very pleased with this phone system.

Push key and u have help! *by M***Y on July 25, 2026* Great for seniors.. especially in an emergency!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Purchased for Parent Who Recently Had a Stroke *by S***Y on June 8, 2022* Update (3/17/24): Some items that I have noticed/learned since purchasing this phone for my mom: 1. You may want to disable the Call Block button on the corded phone base. On a few occasions, my mom has pressed the Call Block button which has blocked my number after having called her. You can disable the Call Block function using the cordless phone. 2. I've found that my mom will turn off the answering machine function because it has the red on/off button next to it. So you may need to check your parent's phone to make sure that they haven't turned off the function. 3. The phone will ring even if the corded handset is off of the base unit. You just need to make sure that you press the 'hang up' button to answer a call in this scenario. I noticed that some have noted that they are having sound issues with their units. We haven't encountered this issue (yet) and have had the unit for just under 2 years. ------- My mother recently had a stroke and we have found that this phone system has been helpful overall. Some pros and cons include: Pros: *The corded phone is best because there is no way that she will misplace the phone. *The phone has small slots where you can put a picture of a relative for easy phone calls. Instead of pictures, we put the names of individuals in each slot. *The corded phone is very loud (ringing) and for hearing. Cons: *The cordless phone can be confusing for her - too many buttons. The M1, M2, M3.... buttons (associated with stored numbers) are not helpful. A stroke victim with memory issues is not going to be able to tie M1 to the first number stored into memory on the corded phone. *The cordless phone sound quality is only okay. We ended up purchasing the accessory cordless phone that has less buttons and has slots for pictures (once again, we put in names into each slot). It's working well for her. Overall, I would say that the phone is worth purchasing. I initially purchased a different cordless phone with all of the bells/whistles. However, I quickly learned that it was too confusing for my mom. Believe me, you need to get a very simple phone to use. The corded phone is what my mom uses the most. (Note: You may want to purchase a longer cord for the handset/base unit - just so that your relative can sit comfortably to talk on the phone.) Good luck to anyone working with a relative who has had a stroke and ends up having difficulties using devices. It's definitely a learning experience for me. Hard to believe that my mom actively used an iPhone before her stroke and now finds that using a cell phone is too overwhelming. ## Frequently Bought Together - VTech SN5147 Amplified Corded/Cordless Senior Phone with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, 90dB Extra-Loud Visual Ringer, One-Touch Audio Assist on Handset up to 50dB, White - VTech SN7022 Wearable Home Sos Pendant for SN5127 & SN5147 Senior Phone Systems - SOUTHWESTERN BELL S60067 White Handset Cord 12 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/104392707-vtech-sn5147-amplified-corded-cordless-senior-phone-with-answering-machine](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/104392707-vtech-sn5147-amplified-corded-cordless-senior-phone-with-answering-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
