That would be first choice, do you have dial tone at that plug? With the same line cord?

Testimonial: "Weirdly no, I have three socket linked so I went to the socket second in line and tried the phone still doesn't work. The first in line is in the main bedroom a bit unaccessible so I will have to move a load of stuff to get to it. What I don't understand though is if its the socket how does the phone ring when you ring it from a mobile but you can't answer it. How can that happen if the socket is not working ?"

Could be line cord connection at base or other wiring issue. Do you have a different phone(s) at same location that work?

If you have a known good phone, the simpler the better, unplug all other tele devices at your location and verify the know good phone works?

Testimonial: "I have tried an old phone , in the socket but it didn't work so tried it in a second socket which didn't work either. The weird thing is when you ring the home line it does ring but you can't answer it so some sort of signal must be getting through"

    Likely there's break in the line, anywhere from inside you residence to CO. Suggest you to contact your service provider and have line test done.

SOURCE: Siemens Gigaset 2420 corded unit resets when calls received

Your caller id log is full, you can fix your phone by pressing the Calls button, then the delete button over and over until it is empty. This will fix your problem without deleting all your programming.

SOURCE: telephone connection problem with DSL

unplug everthing from all jacks in the house. call your # a couple of times. if the line rings, plug everything in 1 at a time, but call again after each hook up. if the line goes dead or is busy, that phone you just plugged in is the problem. [ a short in the phone, computer, answer machine, or any piece of equipment plugged into the phone line.] if the line is busy when everything is unplugged, call your phone company. there maybe a problem with your inside wire.there also maybe a box [called a nid] inside your basment/garage or on the side of your house, where you can plug your phone directly in, bypassing all the jacks in your house
hope this helps.

SOURCE: Registering phones

I have after many hours found the solution. (Well one that worked for me). I have a Uniden Elite 8855 + 8805 additional handsets. What you have to do is:
1. Go to your base unit.
2. Put your flip phone in the cradle.
3. Press down and hold down (AT ALL TIMES) the end (find hs) button.
4. Whilst holding down this button, take the power plug out of the wall.
5. Whilst still holding down the end (find hs) button, plug the power back in.
6. When you hear a beep from the base unit system.
7. Let go of the end (find hs) button.
8. Your phone memory should be cleared now and you are ready to repeat the process of registering your base and additional handsets.

SOURCE: Missing calls

Hi,

I had this problem once and on my phone I would get one ring and then it would stop. Checking the phone I saw I missed a call. I live in the mountains of Puerto Rico and I believe what is happen is the network plays the rings for the caller but the phone isn't doesn't get the signal or start ringing until 3 or 4 rings later. In other words the caller has already heard 4 or 5 rings and has given up. While you have heard only one ring and when you got to the phone you already missed the call. I told my friends to let it rings more then 5 times before giving up and that worked.

SOURCE: Not Registered Problem

This worked for the 7100, hopefully it works for other models:

When the handset says "not registered", it should still have a "menu" option. Select that, then the only choice is "register", select Ok. Now it says "searching for base", press and *hold down* the "locate handset" button on the base until the handset beeps and wakes up. Docs say this could take up to 30 seconds (it was about 17 for mine).

How do I reduce the number of rings before VM picks up?

Hello, Maureen -

If you are asking about your land line telephone, the number of rings before voice mail picks up calls is most likely a feature through your land line phone service.

I suggest you contact your land line phone service customer service center, via a phone call, and ask your question.

Cant ring out on phone no tone .people can ring in but sounds like there under water

I would recommend that you unplug the phone, and if there is a battery in it, take it out as well, and reinstall after 5 minutes. If that does not resolve your solution then you will want to call the land line phone carrier and have them check your lines. If you do not want to call the phone company, then you will need to check the line by plugging in another phone. If the result is the same then you have a line issue.

No caller ID. TP company says I have service.

  • Did you fully charge your phone? - Make sure you fully charge for 16-24 hours .

  • Is the battery old? - Replace the battery.

  • Is the electrical outlet switch turned on? - If you are using AC (electrical) power, make sure that the unit is connected to a non-switched electrical outlet.

  • Are the connecting wires tight - Unplug the AC power converter from the unit and plug it back in.

  • Do you have Caller ID service with your telephone company - In order to receive Caller ID records, you must subscribe to the standard name and number Caller ID service available through your local telephone company. If the Caller ID works for normal calls but not on Call waiting calls, then you must contact your phone company to get the combined CID/CW service.

  • Caller ID shows up after second ring - Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering. Caller ID signals comes through after the first ring, if caller pick ups phone too soon Caller ID signal will not be transmitted to the handset.

  • Confirm that caller ID is still working on that particular line by checking another phone on the same line - If Caller ID is not coming through contact your phone company provider.

If this does not fix your problem, contact your authorized Service Center.*

Disconnecting in-coming call

You must either pick up the receiver or let it ring. Pressing "Mute" only hides yous voice from the other person.

Phone Rings,but cannot answer

if there is no dial tone that means that the connection is not being made when you pick up the phone hence you cannot answer nor can you get a dial tone
the fact that the phone rings indicates that the land line is good so the fault is in the phone itself

Set not ringing

When you say you are the one responsible for the programming, are you referring to programming the "physical phone" or the PBX and line cards and system functionality?

You should have an extension on your phone. Has that extension for example 222 been translated at the PBX to ring on a direct number -> (xxx) 555-1222

Or by what you are describing, you are more looking at having "shared lines" that ring in multiple locations simultaneously, and once picked up somewhere a "line lock" should be in place?
