Won't recond callers message - AT&T 1719 Digital Answering Machine

I think you might be confusing the counter that keeps rack of caller ID information, and the counter that tracks messages stored in the answering machine - two different things, different purposes.

The answering machine part displays "new messages", but can store "old messages". For the caller ID part, look for a button on the handset that says "caller ID" - hit that, and then there will be a scroll up/down pair of buttons - you can look through your received caller IDs. Their may be a delete button on the phone (It's not clear what model you have), which will allow deleting that caller ID out of memory, but if not, having viewed the numbers, your "20" on the message counter should reduce.

Is your caller id service active??
If not contact your service provider and subscribe for it...

Welcome to Fixya

Try to erase your phone's voice messages. Press ERASE 2 times while the phone is not in use. Caller ID is being activated by your phone provider. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details.

Thank you for using Fixya!

repair it.

Before i can give a definite answer to this problem first what is the exact model of the phone? Does it record messages before?
If the answer to the second question is yes then check the device memory. If the memory is full try clearing up some space on the phone as this could affect the recording of messages on your device. Expecting a feedback from you. Hope the solution is helpful?

1. Machine or replace rotors and/or Drums
2. New Disc Pads and /or Brake Shoes & springs for brake shoes
3. New or recond Brake Booster
4. New or recond Master Cylinder
5. New or recond Disc brake calipers and/or wheel Cylinders
6. Brake fluid
7. Check all the brake fluid lines for any damage
thats about all I can think of, hope it helps

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

For voice mails, you can check your call log and in missed calls deduce caller from the time of the message?!

Yes, it deletes the messages.
