GE 28112 cordless phone

Read your manual on how to choose more rings before your answering machine picks up...usually 7 is the most you can set it for.

The CS6114 isn't an answering machine. It won't pick up any calls on its own.

If you have an answering machine attached, refer to the documentation for that machine or else repost your question specifying the make and model of your answering machine.

If you subscribe to an answering service provided by your phone company, contact them for information and help.

you need to reconfigure the ring time before the fax tone comes up, check your manual the procedures are there

You do not have to cancel the phone company voice mail service. You need to change the number of rings the phone uses to answer the voice mail.

For example, if the telephone company voice mail answers if 4 rings, set the telephone answering machine to answer in 3 rings or less.

Good luck.

Log into your Vonage account and change the number of rings or seconds to intercept for VM. In my Packet8 service, I can set a number of parameters for dual ring, intercept, and/or turn voice mail on and off. The last time I worked on a customer's Vonage we could do the same.

You probably did not save the recording, consult your owners manual and try again.

Try charging the phone on the main handset - Good luck!

I have no dial tone on my phones. I can receive calls and my answer machine works ok. I plugged another phone (an old phone) and I have a dial tone on that phone, but not on the new ones

the voicemail ring count has to be setup on your phone line thru your voicemail menu,and has nothing to do with the answering machine. if you don't want the answering machine to pickup, just shut it off. follow the prompt's for your voicemail settings, there you'll be able to set the amount of rings you want.
hope this helps.
