Today, Nov 5, 2011, we had the same problem. I put the handsets in the bases and unplugged the power cords from the outlets. Then I opened the battery compartments and unplugged the batteries. I then replugged the power cords and put the batteries back into the handsets. I put the handsets back onto the bases and waited for a couple minutes. Then reprogramed the date and time on the # 1 handset. I then placed a phone call to an outside phone and VOILA! They could hear my voice! Hope this helps Earl Sealy even though it is sorta late.
