Vtech Cordless 6041 Phone - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Jeanne fist a background history lesson - there are two dialing modes in existence one is pulse or earlier on was known as decadic dialing. This is where the phone would break the connection a number of times to represent the number dialed. Remember the old dial phones that you would dial a nine and it would spin around back to its original position and would break the line nine times . Very Very slow way to Dial. now to the 21st century - Tone dialing was invented also know as multi tone frequency dialing MFTD by sending two frequency tones numbers and symbols could be encoded to pass through the phone line quickly.

Depending on your service provider, you can block a call and specify the number to be blocked with hitting (*60). The phone will not ring when that person calls.
Another thing is anonymous call blocking which block well... anonymous calls. =]

Call forwarding is NOT a function or feature of the VTech 6041 cordless phones. It is offered by some telephone service providers, but their procedures are proprietary and specific to that individual telephone (service) company -- if they offer it at all. Good luck!

You're kidding, right. They're MISSED calls. That means they called and you weren't there. The phone stores the number to let you know they tried. The only thing you can do to "answer" them, is to call them back yourself at the number listed.

Try to fully charge them first and check for how long do they keep charge. But, yes, for some batteries 250-300 recharge cycles is a life span.
