Why won't my answerphone work properly?

It appears your telephone service provider has turned on voice mail service. We recommend you turn off that service by contacting your service provider.

If it has diverted straight to the answerphone this means that either there are calls being blocked (check settings > phone settings > call barring (reject list etc.)) or that there is a problem with the network/sim card. Only your network will be able to tell you the exact issue but it also may be blacklisted if you have only just got it. Also bars on sim being used etc.

usually there is a small slide switch on the side of the answering machine that you can use to control how many rings before it answers. if that is a new digital model you will likely have to go into the menu to set it up. often your choices are two, four or toll saver.

Setup all in one fax setting to more than one ring.

Push Menu, Scroll to Initial Setting and push Select, go to Set Answering and push select, go to Ring Count and push select, you should be able to scroll up or down to the number of rings, in your case 6, and then push save

hey there!! there is no feature such as "answering machine" for the k750i, unlike with the some models of Samsung...however, you may contact your network provider to set up your voice mail box, but ofcourse the provider will charge you for this service...

make sure your answering machine is plugged in to the "EXT" jack on fax machine, and your main line plugged into "line". try setting fax rings to 1 or 2. set your answering machine to 4. your fax should intercept the call and if it hears the fax tone, will receive the fax. if it doesn't hear the fax tone, it should forward the call to your answering m/c.

I suggest you post your question under telephones.

Regarding the Philips SE445 cordless phone/answerphone. I posted my problem where it rings 4 times then continues to ring without cutting into the answerphone. My phone is now fixed and working as it should which is great. I was unable to make calls because I had no dial tone and although Virgin checked my line and said it was fine, it obviously wasn't. The problem was with the line in the Exchange Box - the big green boxes that are located on the roadside - the line was broken there. Once fixed, I had my dial tone and the SE445 is working perfectly. To nomad1066, I would insist that BT check their Exchange Boxes as this is probably where the problem lies. Check whether you have a dial tone. Hope this helps.

try resetting your phone to its factory settings...
