The CS6114-11 isn't an answering machine. It will ring until you answer, an answering machine or voicemail system picks up, or the caller hangs up.

To change the ring count on your answering machine, consult its documentation. If you require further assistance, please add a comment to this question and identify the answering machine or voicemail system.

I don't think that the VTech 20-2431 had a built in answering machine.

Here is a link to the telephone's User's Guide that VTech has posted on their website:

I can't find a mention of an answering machine anywhere in the manual.

The VTech 2460 is pretty much the same telephone as the AT&T 2455. Here is a link to the AT&T 2455's User's Guide:

Information about the answering machine operation begins on page 23/36.

I would start by testing the phone while you are standing next to it. Call yourself from your cell phone and see if your answering machine is actually picking up.

My guess is that somehow the voicemail service from your telephone company got activated and the phone never rings long enough for the answering machine to pick up.

The other possibility is that your answering machine got set to "announce only." You don't specify what exact model you have but on mine (which is a Vtech 5.8GHz model with multiple handsets) you turn the answering machine on by pressing the on button and then use the menu button to cycle through the choices. One of the choices is "set announce only." When you are on that choice press the change button. If it says off, then it is set correctly. If it says on, press the change button again to alter the setting from on to off.

My phone echos when it plays the answering machine with my recording, how do I stop it from echoing?It is a vtech 5.8ghz phone.
