How loud is the ringer? My current Uniden phone has a very low ringer, so I can never hear unless I'm in the same room as the phone.

Ringer indeed is not very loud as compared to a bell ringer style phone and though not related one of the three wireless handsets lost its display character ability not long after put in use so you may wish to look elsewhere. Other features seem fine one year into usage.

If you look at phone - push the "End button-in red- on right & then push the UP ARROW in the middle & it goes up for you-I discovered this by accident...it will go up fast & view on the phone too....gets loud-I had same fun..Good Luck!Good Luck!

I was too loud for me on the highest setting. My house is not big, 1300 sq. ft., but I would say the ringer is plenty loud. I have one phone in my house and the other in my garage and always hear it.

seems sufficiently loud to me. One thing I thought odd...one of the main reasons I purchased was becauseit's white and my kitchen counters are white. The adapter and cord are black. I called Uniden...they don't make a white. Otherwise, fine.

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.

Have someone call you, and as it's ringing, adjust the volume button on the side. Make sure the phone is ringing while you adjust it.

People tell me that I sound "normal" to them for a cell phone call. And, yes they can hear in noisy environments. I use mine more for listening to music from my iPhone. It's great not having wires hanging and yet still getting a decent sound. Also, the "tapping" works well to activate features such as forward to next song etc.

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the volume on the base station or handset beyond the up/down on the handset that tops out at LVL5, which isn't loud enough. what the heck!?

Mine has not had a volume issue, in fact, I end up turning it way down to 3 or 4. Think maybe you should contact Uniden about that. Perhaps you need a replacement receiver?

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings&gt;networks tab&gt;call&gt;noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

Sorry, since this phone did not have caller ID, I returned it. I do not know about the ringer volume.

Ear speaker is pretty weak. My wife turns on the speaker phone feature (big speaker, I presume) in order to hear well enough. I can hear that one in another room.

No. Matter a fact I am back to my Uniden cordless phone. You can,t tell on this phone when you have a message or not (no flash light) also the Caller ID display is very dim.

Oh yes, the ringer is as loud as a stock phone. The picture is misleading as there is a screened hole in the lower left of the battery pack, allowing the speaker to work just fine.

We have other phones in the home and have the wall phone sound turned off. I just did check it, however, and it does work.Only adjustment I have is the side lever with down arrow for loud. As stated, I turned it all the way opposite loud to turn off.we did not care for the ring sound.

I love this phone it's fantastic. It indeed has a loud ring (silent-vibrate-low-med low-med-med high-high) and a loud earpiece sound. The quality a durability of this phone is great too! Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that, Brandon, my phone's volume has worked perfectly so far, so I cant help you on this question...
