I need to know about missed calls and message retrieval...and am feeling very tech deficient.

On an answering machine? Probably gone forever. There is software to retrieve photos, but you usually have a card to read them from on what you have don't even know where to look for a card if there is one.

You can go to http://www.infdump.com/inf-files/U_1.html and downlaod the missing file and update the same.
This will require technical expertise and if you cannot do that yourself then call the manufacturer tech support ( 1-800-474-6836 toll free).

Need to mention more specifically which file is missing.

Go to the base unit.
scroll to the answering machine option.
Under there is a setting for your security key.

you can read what's there, or change it to your own two digit code.

when you call in, during the message, enter that two digit code and it'll go into messages. There's a "toll saver" mode so that the machine answers after two rings instead of 4, so that if you call and it rings 3 times, you know there's no new messages.
Manual:

From the manual, it doesn't look like you can reset the ring count with this phone set.

You can find the manual at www.panasonic.com

Reply back if you have any further questions, or feel I have missed something.

If you had read the manual, it would probably have told you this. .It might be worth seeing if someone at your local friendly computer shop can assist you - they may have access to software that will help.

first u check ur network selection and then check the phone line which one u using

If you call customer care or possibily tech support you can request text messages that were sent or received, and there is a fee for that I just dont know how much.

i found my solution on the AT&T website.
thanks anyway.

I need to know how to get meesages when i call the phone from mobile
