My redial button on my cordless phone does not work. I need the numbers that were just dialed and the only way to retrieve then would be to hit the redial button, but the button does not work...I am thinking there must be something wrong with the rubber stuff underneath... everything else works just fine... the phone is an older model with the SN BT100742152 3658 B 5.6 GHz... I don't know how to take off the face to look at the inside of the phone....I took out two screws but that's as far as I was able to get... help :)

bottom lh black button is redial button just press it and it will dial the last number called

The phone remembers the last five numbers dialed. To see the redial list, in standby mode press the PAUSE button (marked with an arrow curving back upon itself).

I had the same problem with a model 6325-4. Worked fine for the first week. Then, tone dial with redial, directory, etc was too fast for system to register the number.
Called Vtech support. After a 15 hold, 5 minute explanation and tech listening to a reproduction of problem over the phone, she asked that I perform a complete system reset (I called via my cell).
I unplugged power from base first, then removed battery from all hand sets. Powered down for ~3 minutes (with tech waiting on line the entire time).
I powered up base first and then reconnected all handsets. Selected a handset at random and performed the same dial from directory test I had done just before power down. The thing worked again. Call went through just fine. Tried several other selections in directory with same positive results. Now, if the system just stays stable and working.
Hope this helps..

Look carefully on your phone's keypad. You should find one of the multi-purpose buttons labelled "Pause" possibly in white text on the body of the phone. It may be the same button marked redial. If you push this button while programing a phone number into the phone book, it will show a "P" on the screen. This will insert a pause when your number is being dialed.

have bell south model #mh9918. can't press the numbers down to connect. don't get dial tone because button seems stuck

I can't redial.. How do I set up my phone to redial an automatic 1 before the number I want to dial? i have a GE digital 5-8

you need to press the interlocking circles button on the handset (in the centre at the top) to show the last number dialled (incidentally, you can now press the down arrow to scroll through previous dialled numbers).

When you get to the one you want, simply press the green handset button to dial the number displayed.

That's last number re-dial in 2 steps (there is no single click solution)

Redial is used by pressing the redial button to access the stored numbers, each press brings up another number. To dial the number you want hit the # key. i.e. to dial a number you called 3 phone call ago you press 'redial', then 'redial', then 'redial' followed by '#'.
