Top 10 Vtech Cordless 6041 Phone Questions & Answers

Unplugging the phone will only fix the problem temporary!
Can anyone fix it for good? I am fed up of unplugging it every day.
No line... no line no line!
Stupid phone!

Check the vtech website. They are attributing the problem to low voltage on the phone line. My parents started having this problem with a pair of Vtechs that I gave them. I never had the problem but they are.

These phones look at the voltage on the line to determine if the line is in use.

Do you have any devices on the line that get power from the phone line? If so, they may be loading down the phone line causing this issue. If you have these types of devices on your line, try disconnecting those devices and see if the problem goes away.

Otherwise, your phone line may be defective. You may need to contact your phone company to get the problem resolved.

We called the phone company.....There was a problem up on the telephone pole. They fixed it, no charge.

Please download this manual, and study e.g on page 21 About caller ID If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature displays the name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call (even when you are on another call). The caller ID features of this product will work only if you subscribe to caller ID service and both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. Contact your local telephone company if: • you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service), • you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, • you do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas. This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service, although the caller ID features of this product will not function.

it means that there is no phone line active at that outlet. you may need to call your local phone service provider to activate that line or move the phone to an outlet that is active.

Remove the phone's battery, put it on again. Try to make/receive a call again.

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. =]
