I bought this phone set 9 months ago. Suddenly, it hangs up on every caller after the fourth ring. Doesn't record messages, Ideas? I changed it to 2 rings, because I couldn't get it to change to 3 rings. It now answers and takes a message but the...

I've only had mine for a month or so, but it wouldn't even take a message until I changed it to 3 rings. I think it's because it's also hooked up to my fax machine. It disrupted everything. Try changing the number of rings before it goes to messages. Hope this helps.

Order another handset ... I had the same problem with one phone. Did everything except take it apart.

I hate this phone and gave it a bad review. Contact C. Service at Panasonic. They should send you a new one.

Hmmmm...ticking sound? any enemies stopped over lately? Actually, switch the battery from one of your other phones to to this one to see if this phone starts to work. If it fixes the problem, then your batteries are dying out and should be replaced. Otherwise, some liquid got into the phone and fried the circuits.

You could try combination button pushes. I had this happen to an earlier Pre phone the first day I owned it. A call to tech service suggested a hard reset. I think the combo was to hold down the power button and then press volume up three times. That might just get it going if it's not a dead battery issue.

Try new batteries. As the phone gets older it does happen. I have 2 of these phones and both have broken letters I still love the phones.

I have this phone and I have it set to answer after 6 rings. When a call comes in, the display initially shows "Ringing", but before the second ring, it begins displaying the caller's ID. It continues showing the caller's ID through the remainder of the rings.

I haven't had that problem. Take it to a carrier store and ask them to try a new battery. It may just be a "bad" phone. We've always had a Gravity as far back as when they first came out. Best dumb-phone out there.

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.

Hi Frederick,First of all--I only have one phone (not four). I did not know that I was supposed to get four phones?I no longer use it as my main answer phone. I have had battery problems with it.I have five different phones. They all ring at the same time.My main answer phone is Uniden. I got four phones with it.So far no problems--battery is still good.

Same problem. Just got off the phone with Motorola. They say that they have no information about this being a widespread problem. They also said that this set is no longer being manufactured and so any replacement would be a refurbished model. I'm not falling for that trickery, especially when others have reported faulty replacements as well. It's unfortunate, because this seems like an otherwise good solution for our home office.

You can't fix it. Its happened to me and there is no way to fix it. Next time spend a bit more money on a decent phone.

It's not the phone, but your service that blocks calls. Talk to AT&T; or whomever you use to get service and they will tell you how to do it. We have had these phones for 2.5 years, and couldn't be happier.

Had the same problem. Tried all the usual solutions with no luck. It was well past warranty time, so I just bit the bullet and bought an individual replacement phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear.

Gary, Were you able to find a phone which shows number of messages? We are in the same boat, this is the only reason we have not bought this phone yet. I am looking for a similar Panasonic model with that capability. Thanks, junaid
