20 Most Recent GE 27831 Cordless Phone Questions & Answers

Hello
Any other battery should work, provided the size, voltage etc:- should be the same. Moreover, it should be a rechargable one. You can use any other company's product. OK.

you can contact the mobile service provider...........

Commonly known as RTFM where I come from!. I finally found the instructions that came with the phone & discovered there are no Date/Time settings held in the phone itself. This data is sent 'real-time' along with the Caller Id details from the telecom provider. Pretty logical really when you think about it.

Another user (thank yoiu but I'm sorry I forgot his/her name) had the answer. It was ihe instructions but I missed it. Needed to set the 2nd handset into the main base for 20 seconds so that it could align itself.

you have to change a zenner diode inside of the base unit.

i have the same problem, but the handset dont charge. u have to change a zenner diode, inside of the base.

I had the same problem. Once I read the owners manual I found the charge light blinks to indicate that you have voicemail waiting to be retrieved via telecom provider. Much to my surprise I have a voicemail account I never requested.

Another mystery solved - I now know why I missed so many messages.

you have to put the second handset on the primary base for about 20 seconds for it to accept it, then you will get a tone and everything should work fine from there.

probably your phone have a incompatible call ID system (probably FSK), and your line is DTMF. Needs a standard converter, from DTMF to FSK.

That will be because the static was at the callers line, not at your end. At this time of year it is water in junction boxes at the caller's residence. If it was on every call, it would be down to your connections.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. You are only the second person to have this issue. Refer to the manual and do a reset, but in doing so you will lose all saved data. https://www.google.com/search?q=general+electric+ge+27956fe1+white+screen+fix ..

Remove all the phones on the system. Remove all the handset batteries. Plug in one old style corded phone to the main phone jack, it is normally the one closest to the front door. Do you have dial tone? If not, it is your Telco. If you have a dial tone, plug all the other phones in testing for a dial tone as you go.
