I have a motorola V186 cell phone. When I dial a number, if no one answers after 7 rings, the phone automatically cuts out and says 'no answer', then I have to dial again. My mom is just about deaf and I want her phone to continue ringing. Help, please.

It's called "call forwarding" and the procedure varies from company to company. With many, dial * 7 2 on your home phone, then at the second dial tone dial your cell phone number. Answer your cell phone when it rings to confirm the call forwarding. To cancel call forwarding when you return from vacation, dial * 7 3 on your home phone.
If the above doesn't work then contact your landline telephone company for their instructions regarding call forwarding.

Either your fax machine is set to answer on more rings then your answering machine is or you dont have the automatic answer key pushed?

Determine how many rings your answering machine picks up on and then change the number of rings to a lower amount on your fax machine. To change the number of rings before picking up the line, press the "menu" key on the fax machine and use the up and down arrows to scroll until you find the "basic fax set up" or the "advanced set up" areas. I am not sure which one will have the number of rings setting. Try looking in both until you find it.

when you see it press "ok" or "enter" get in and change the amount of rings before answering. call your fax machine to make sure it picks up before your answering machine.

This should solve your problem.

Hello! There is no control, with this phone, to alter the number of rings to answer. Eight rings is normal for this phone...

Call transfer on Norstar phones works by:

1. Answer call
2. Press the [Feature] [7] [0] (or simply press the [Transfer] button below phone display)
3. Dial the number where you want to transfer the call
4. Stay on line if wishing to speak to the person
   
5. Press the [Rls] button to complete the transfer

• If an external call is transferred to a busy internal or network extension, or is not answered after a few rings, the call automatically rings you back.
• Note: Use Link to transfer callers to a telephone number

need to replace your keypad flex cable.

The easiest thing to do is use Direct Pickup Feature.
When the phone is ringing dial Feature 76
Dial internal number of a phone that is ringing (also refered as extension number)
You just answered a ringing phone at your desk.

If you have login information for Feature **config, I can help you set up your phone to be ringing as well.

10 – Repeat for each line to be programmed.

Notes For Night Service Mode Auto Attendant Answering
If the auto attendant will only answer lines in night service mode, line answering should be set to No as per step 6 above. Using night service will cause the AA to answer lines immediately.

Okay for starters, you need to check to see if that fax machine is automatically answering the phone when it rings. you can check to see if it is trying to recieve by call that phone number from another phone and listen if it answers and when it does, does it make a high pitched squelling sound that varies in pitch.
if it does then it should be working ok, if not then you must program your recieve mode to automatically answer.
you can also check to see if it's sending by doing the opposite: put a sheet of paper in the machine to fax and dial your cell phone or other number, when it rings pick it up and listen for the high pitch squeel, if it works then your fax is working properly.

Thank You,

Mikey

you need to have the speaker cable replaced, take the phone to a mobile service repair center and have them replace it for you.
