The phone also features talking caller ID, which audibly announces who's calling through the handset and base speakerphones. A separate feature, Caller IQ (where available), allows you to receive updates on weather, sports, horoscopes, and more; the information is sent directly to your telephone and displayed on the handset screen. (Caller ID and call waiting require subscription through your phone company. Caller IQ is a fee-based information service that requires registration.)
The KX-TG5230M allows you to pre-program frequently called numbers, even numbers required for chain dialing (ideal for automated systems that require a series of numeric inputs). The handsets have a short, light-up antenna that flashes when new calls are received and when you have a new voice message waiting. The handsets offer a variety of ring tones and melodies to choose from.
