That's correct--messages only playback on the base. Those 'missed calls' on the handset refer to unanswered calls that left no messages and as stated in previous answer to your question, calls by telemarketers. Telemarketers use autodialers that placed several calls at once. Then they talk to the first person who picks up the phone and hang up on everybody else. I find that most of the 'missed messages' come from callers that I'm glad I missed.

Missed messages include the telemarketer calls that hang up when the greeting is played.

Wish I could help you out. I sure am not a technician ! When I have a message, I press the bottom of the round dial ( like the 6 o'clock position) and it plays the message. I am connected to Comcast, and if the phone is in use when a message comes in, the light blinks, and I pick up the receiver , punch *99, and then the green talk button, and I can hear the message that was left thru Comcast while my phone was in use.You may want to call customer service at VTECH

Each handset displays a message about each missed call and any messages left. You can access additional details about when the call or message was left. The number of messages is not displayed, but when you replay them from the console, it tells you how many there are.

I'm sorry you have had that problem. We had one handset stop working completely, and all of the others only work, if we stand in a particular spot in our home! I rated this set 1 star, and I am ever so sorry I wasted the money I did on it. I am currently in the market for a new set (NOT A PANASONIC!!!), and will bite the bullet on this one. Shame, as I had high hopes for it....

That is an easy fix. It happened to me when I first got the phone. You need to change the date and time setting on the menu to manual instead of by caller id. I'm pretty sure that will resolve your issue.

Yes it does. Mine seems a bit hard to hear. I must stand directly over the base unit to hear clearly. I can however play messages from the hand units. A flashing light lets me know there is one or more messages waiting. I hope this helps.

I have wireless phone lines and I go into voice mail to get my messages. I cannot hear a message at the same time the person is leaving the message.

I just bought these phones. Now I know why it chimes. I have another issue. I plug the phones and they work fine. Then for some reason when I receive a call you can't answer it. You push the "talk" button and it won't answer. If you take the battery out of the phone and put it back it works but only for a short time. It then goes right back to the same behavior. Looks like I should have read the reviews before buying.

I returned it for the TG6841 but it works similarly. On the handset, select CID which is the 6 o'clock position on the large button on the phone. it brings up all missed and received calls.

You have to flip a switch to re-record the message. When it is on "On" it cannot be changed. It will play the same thing every push.

@Ken "I have found it will not allow me to dial up an automated voice message system" - this problem applied to flip phones when they were left shut. Newer phones do not have this problem. If you are still using a flip phone, leave it open!

I think it does not enter a number on all handsets. Reason is probably because different users may want to enter different numbers. Now: Sound on the one handset I have fades to near inaudible no matter where I have the handset. I'm going to call to ask for a replacement. Sorry I bought this item, but CR said it was good. Maybe this is just one defective set.

I think there is a intercom you can use, but I've never tried leaving messages on other handsets.

You can retrieve voice mail messages from either the base or a handset. Process is the same.

this bugged me also for a few weeks, then i realized - my voicemail! the green light flashes if you have missed calls, if you're like me and you have more than 1 in your home, you'd have to empty missed calls log on EACH phone. and the voicemail, if you have anything there, which i often forget to check, the green lights will continue to flash until you empty your VM. hope that helps.

You have to acknowledge the message otherwise it will keep calling until the message is acknowledged. Hope this help ful.
