It was working fine, now my phones ring, I pick up, and there's nothing. I've had family members call. They say it sounds like I picked up and then there was nothing. I've tried answering on my cell phone and on the Vtech phones. Nothing. Update: I...

Hello, It appears that one of the three handsets is faulty. You need to do some simple tests to eliminate the bad one. First unplug the two remote bases and remove the handset battery. Now with just the base station and one powered handset, dial your home number with your mobile. Have someone else pickup and see if you can communicate. Then remove that battery if it worked and try the next handset, 'one at a time' until you find the bad handset. If none of them work correctly, then the problem is with the main base station unfortunately. The remote bases are charger only bases as you know. I do not see a pinhole opening on the main base to insert a small pin to do a factory reset. The only thing to try is to unplug the power and landline phone cable and wait five minutes or so. If that won't correct the problem, at least you'll have determined the culprit. On a positive if one or the other is bad, you can get the single item at Walmart or maybe even here. You also could call vTech customer sales/support chances are they would replace the faulty component free of charge. They have been an excellent manufacturer to deal with! Their contact number is on their website, best of luck solving your problem!

I'm sorry, I don't know. It's impossible to understand their written directions and I consider myself fortunate that the phone works for me. I will say the answering machine recording is terrible- There might be other ringtones but I can't find them.

I believe that your phone doesn't ring for any blocked calls. A busy signal delivered is the realm of your phone service provider.

One of my handsets began exhibiting a distorted ring sound and speakerphone audio before it just stopped those functions entirely, along with the key beeps and intercom. I ordered a used replacement and it, too, did the same thing. I've returned that one, and will look for another. This looks like a reasonably common failure mode.

Nothing I did helped. I just gave up - it constantly turned itself off and where I live I drive very long distances. I needed to make business calls using the device but unfortunately, I couldn't..

I have a new B250 XT and I can't answer calls once I'm on the phone with another call. I'm sending it back to get another B250 XT + because it does everything. But last barely over a year with me.

Maybe your phones are okay. Mine were not. Many things wrong...rang when nobody was there and so on. So bad that I sent it back to Amazon from whom I had bought it. Big NO to this phone. Don't have it now so can't answer about the non-slip back.

Order a new set of phones !! The technology has improved - actually was already improved before your phones left the vendor location. Phones are so inexpensive now, it's not important to waste your time wondering why the set you have doesn't work any more. Believe !! and have a Happy, Stress-free New Year...........

I'm ticked..i have no more display for caller ID, date, time, etc.! I really rely on those. The phone had worked fine, then after about 2 yrs. the display just stopped showing. I googled and read the manuel and it said to make sure the plug was in securly and it is after several times re-plugging it.The phone still works fine, just has no DISPLAY!

Sorry, I just saw this message.Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

Mine is working fine,may you should try to check with your sim card if is ok by inserting into your mobile phone and try to call if it responds then try insert it again into your bug device and make sure there is some light blinking inside your device near to the sim card that's tells you that our device is operational(on) .

I was never able to get the radio to work so I can't tell you. Also, when the phone was plugged into the radio, it seemed to kill any sound from the phone so I wouldn't hear it ring at all. I also wouldn't hear any alarms I set on the phone.

No, my phone works some times,it cuts you off & doesnt even ring at times.Goes straight to voice mail.Also gets a lot of busy signals.

The ringer on your phone will 'only' ring if your phone is plugged into the telephone port and then only after the code number is entered. If your phone or answering machine is plugged into the answering port, it will not ring no matter what.... you only know you have a message is when the answering machine message number lights up. I have found this product to be the best thing I ever bought for silence from telemarketers and robo calls. Have not had any since I put in on the line. Hope this helps

I bought this phone a coupple of months ago and I can´t make it to work. I can talk but I don´t have internet, the service provider says it´s not fully unloked, that the internet service is attached to Verizon. Any help before I ask for a refound!!!

Yeah. When I got mine, it was a little jangy with the bluetooth connection, too. I have an LG VX8300 and I'm on Verizon. What happened is it connects, but then it won't let me dial from the screen. I then just left it alone for about 10 minutes and then came back to it and it was dialing to my phone no problem. I think it just has to take a little time to set at first. I was getting really frustrated with it at first but now it works just fine. I have my phone set to connect whenever the device is on and near and it dials through it no problem. One thing that may make a difference is the power on/off. I'm pretty sure that you want to do the soft power down option instead of the full shut down (where you hold the power button for 5 seconds). It should work out for you. Kinda sux that the plug is a 2.5 mm headphone jack, the speaker could be louder and I wish the car charger plugged in through mount. Still a very good unit. :o)

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I've had my previous phone for going on 6 years now actually, and all calls were placed from my house, where I've made countless calls without a single instance of a dropped call before this new phone. Perhaps I did get a lemon. I'll look into exchanging it (unwisely I purchased it elsewhere). I'm back to using my ancient phone in the meantime. :) Thanks again for the feedback!
