one if these old land line thing-a-bobs>? LAND LINES:? sure it is. most land lines (gee endless world wide and collapsing) I you actual PHONE has caller ID blocking turn it off, RTM read the manual on your phone. if say using AT&T, land line (wild wild guess) you have special *Number to call and you must reset that using THAT> answered for both ways, and I refuse to read your manual, on any landline-anything, mines CUT CABLE at the CURB.

If you have a landline, most likely you have a short in it. Not enough to kill line, but, when the 90 volts a.c. comes in to ring it jumps short. The short answers the phone.. It doesn't stop out going but can cause static. Check the line at the box outside. if bad there call your phone company, if good there, trouble is in house

have you tried removing the phones batteries and then re-inserting them. ?

use the find a phone facility in the phones use one to find the rest

when you have a problem with anything under warranty, you take it back for new units or a refund and anything under 12 months old is under warranty if you have lost the receipts get a copy of your bank statements as that shows where it was bought , how much it cost and when That is a legal document to trigger a warranty action or refund

it could that the battery is not keeping a charge. or the land line is bad. change battery first. sometimes new batterys are bad.

For the Uniden model D1680 & similar... You ENTER "Silent Mode" by pressing and holding the [ # ] key on the handset for a few seconds until the display reads "Please Wait". It will (chirp) and display "Silent Mode ON". You can EXIT "Silent Mode" by pressing and holding the [ # ] key on the handset for a few seconds until the display reads "Please Wait". It will (chirp) and display "Handset #". Another easy way to end "Silent Mode" is to go to the BASE and press the [ANS ON/OFF] button to turn off the answering machine system. (Push the [ans] button, do not unplug the power) "Silent Mode" will clear a moment later while the control voice tells you "Answering System is OFF" Now you can again turn on the answering machine system as desired. Good luck! ------------

I would recommend an app called LEO Privacy. It can help you add the disgusting phone numbers to blacklist to stop spam and harrassing phone calls from bad guys. LEO Privacy Applock Boost Hide Android Apps on Google Play

Compatibility is doubtful: I just tried to register a D1680 handset to a D1580 base and it failed. Both the handset & base are "known good" but they will not pair together. It does not hurt to try, be sure your handset is de-registered (hold the [END] and [ # ] keys at the same time until the screen displays the deregister instructions) and the battery well charged. Good luck! ------------

You might try to reset the Voice Mail Waiting Indicator ( V M W I ).

http://www.brandsmartusa.com/pdfs/manuals/20146396.pdf The above link is the manual. I was looking at pgs 15, 16, and 18. On pg 18 it says there is a default code that will retrieve messages you enter from phone, that's probably it I think. Download is 12.8mb.

You did not mention a specific model number; my D1481 has no such icon -- but my D1680 does, so I'll answer ref. the D1680 model cordless phones.... That icon is a Status Report for the answering machine. It says the answerer is ON (or off) and a digit shows how many messages are stored ( on mine, 1 old message is still there and not yet deleted ). Note a "cassette tape" symbol on the bottom row of keys accesses the answering machine from the handset. Other models, check your manual.

Without the model number of your Uniden phone, I don't know which silencing feature you are dealing with. Some Uniden handsets have a Silent Mode. To toggle this on and off, press and hold the # key (below 9) for 5+ seconds when the phone isn't in use. When the silent mode is enabled, the handset will ask for a length of time for the 'no-ring' option. If no key is pressed, then the Silent Mode will continue until the # key is held again. Other Uniden phones have Do Not Disturb. The button to enable/disable this will be on the cordless phone base. The answering system will automatically turn on and none of the handsets will ring when this feature is enabled. You can also set the ringer volume to zero. Depending on the phone, you can reset this by pressing the volume up/down buttons or going through the menu. Look for the Ringer Volume in the same section of the menu as the Ring Tone options. If you need additional information, please add a comment with the model of your phone. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
