one if these old land line thing-a-bobs>? LAND LINES:? sure it is. most land lines (gee endless world wide and collapsing) I you actual PHONE has caller ID blocking turn it off, RTM read the manual on your phone. if say using AT&T, land line (wild wild guess) you have special *Number to call and you must reset that using THAT> answered for both ways, and I refuse to read your manual, on any landline-anything, mines CUT CABLE at the CURB.

bottom lh black button is redial button just press it and it will dial the last number called

have you tried removing the phones batteries and then re-inserting them. ?

If you have a landline, most likely you have a short in it. Not enough to kill line, but, when the 90 volts a.c. comes in to ring it jumps short. The short answers the phone.. It doesn't stop out going but can cause static. Check the line at the box outside. if bad there call your phone company, if good there, trouble is in house

My phone is only ringing once before going to voice mail.How can I increase the rings to 3 rings

it could that the battery is not keeping a charge. or the land line is bad. change battery first. sometimes new batterys are bad.

when you have a problem with anything under warranty, you take it back for new units or a refund and anything under 12 months old is under warranty if you have lost the receipts get a copy of your bank statements as that shows where it was bought , how much it cost and when That is a legal document to trigger a warranty action or refund

I would recommend an app called LEO Privacy. It can help you add the disgusting phone numbers to blacklist to stop spam and harrassing phone calls from bad guys. LEO Privacy Applock Boost Hide Android Apps on Google Play

Without the model number of your Uniden phone, I don't know which silencing feature you are dealing with. Some Uniden handsets have a Silent Mode. To toggle this on and off, press and hold the # key (below 9) for 5+ seconds when the phone isn't in use. When the silent mode is enabled, the handset will ask for a length of time for the 'no-ring' option. If no key is pressed, then the Silent Mode will continue until the # key is held again. Other Uniden phones have Do Not Disturb. The button to enable/disable this will be on the cordless phone base. The answering system will automatically turn on and none of the handsets will ring when this feature is enabled. You can also set the ringer volume to zero. Depending on the phone, you can reset this by pressing the volume up/down buttons or going through the menu. Look for the Ringer Volume in the same section of the menu as the Ring Tone options. If you need additional information, please add a comment with the model of your phone. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

http://www.brandsmartusa.com/pdfs/manuals/20146396.pdf The above link is the manual. I was looking at pgs 15, 16, and 18. On pg 18 it says there is a default code that will retrieve messages you enter from phone, that's probably it I think. Download is 12.8mb.
