You didn't indicate exact model of your phone. However I have indicated the procedure used for common Vtech's 5.8Ghz phones
Ringer volume
• With the handset or base in idle (off) mode, press MENU then
press ▲ or ▼ until RINGER VOLUME is shown
• Press SEL. You will hear a sample of the ringer
• Press ▲,▼ or a digit (0 through 6) You will hear a sample of
the new ringer volume and the volume bar will be increased or
decreased each time the setting is adjusted At the lowest setting
the ringer will be turned off and the display will show:
- OR -
• With the handset or base in idle (off) mode, press or of the
volume control will directly go to ringer volume menu
• Press ▲ or ▼ to adjust the ringer volume
Good Luck

My handsets won't allow us to dial out from the phones. We hear the dial tone but whenever we try to dial the number, it won't connect. It will just go right back to the dial tone. It isn't our phone lines, because we have another phone in the room that works perfectly fine. We've only had this vtech phone for a couple months. I've already tried disconnecting the battery and checking to see if its still on the dial tone and not pulse. Please help us with this problem and explain to me what it is that I need to do to make it work!! Thanks
Here is something to try:
Disconnect or unplug the power supply (the small black box that is plugged into the wall outlet) wait for 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Sometimes the power supply needs to reset itself. It worked for me.
Thanks,
monotary

how do you block numbers
Most of the telecom service providers offer call blocking features. In addition to this, most of the vtech cordless phone sets have built-in features through which you can block incoming calls from a specific number.

the vtech phone keeps saying line in use and parallel set is on. I can't get a dial tone. only a busy signal.
DO you have a 2 line model? If so check and make sure the conf (conference) button is not pushed as it will keep the line off-hook forever. Hope this helps!

On the abbreviated Quick Start Guide for CS6428-2/Cs6429/Cs6429-2 (and /3, /4, and/5). Please help. I don't want to go and buy a new phone.....
From the sound of it it I think its either: your mailbox is full or the feature has been turn off accidentally.
Vtech's support recommend the following (I've removed things like 'make sure its plugged in' and 'is your answering system is turned on' etc..)
1 Some answering systems have an announce only option, which plays your greeting but won't record messages. Make sure your system is set to record messages.
2 Your answering system's message capacity may be full. You must erase old messages to make room for new ones.
3 If you have voicemail service in addition to your answering system, your caller's message may be going into voicemail before your answering system picks up the call. Program your voicemail to pick up at least 2 rings after your answering system is set to answer the call.

My corded phone has a dial tone but not my Vtech cs5121 cordless phone. Why?
Vtech phones are junk! I have had many trouble calls for no dial tone,only to find out the Vtech phone is the only one they have,and it is defective.(It really DOES pain me to bill someone 91 dollars to tell them their 21 dollar phone is broken-always try another(preferably hard-wired) phone before calling the phone company!
