Do I need a network?

I am looking to buy a Meridian Business Telephone Model M5316 (M2616) for my home office. I am wondering if this will work.. I have only one line for the phone, but I am just wondering if it will be plug and play or if I will need to do something else.

Thanks :)

If that model phone has a rj14 jack ( standard phone jack) and when you plug it into a known good wall jack and you can draw dial tone then it will work. If not it requires a KSU to interface with the lines and that's a lot more equipment than you need for 1 or 2 lines. Thank you. Jer

Trying to change the number of rings before my phone goes to Voice Mail on the Meridian (Nortel) M5316. Only two rings currently so I miss a lot of calls. Thanks!

Depending what system your provider is using it can either be done by you at home or they will have to set it. If you call your provider they will help you or they will fix it. Each ring is set at 6 second intervals so if you have 3rings that is 18 seconds. If you was 6 rings then ask for 36 seconds etc. hope this helps

Does the phone run on batteries

The phone can get some power from the loop like a basic telephone. That should suffice to make phone calls.

But many of the advance features and display options cannot work on loop power alone. You have to get a special plug that plugs into the wall AND the phone jack. Then plug the phone into that.

I am not aware of any battery in the phone.

Message light keeps flashing on my Meridian M2616 phone after I have checked the messages

You have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

I have a Meridian M5316 and the there is an existing voicemail on the phone how do I change the voicemail without knowing the current password?

Your provider will have to reset it for you. Phone them and ask for a reset. They may charge you a dollar or so. But that is the only way

Using a Meridian M2616 spearker phone set when I want to interject a comment when using the hands free speakerphone many times the other party (or attendees on a conference call) cannot hear what I said....

You are picking up background noise as well as what you are trying to say. The mics are sensitive if you are moving papers or have a fan blowing that will cause the issue you have described

Meridan 7208 help please

Dear sheryl498,

Your phone is designed for a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) unit like the Compact ICS or the 6x16 TCU that was at the office. It is not compatible with regular POTS lines or standard home lines.
