When calling somebody, the person on the other line can not hear anything. Is this because a DSL filter is needed or do I have a defective product?

It turned out the product was not defective. The problem was with my DSL modem.

The DSL filter allows you to use the phone on the same line as a computer. The person on the end of the line should be able to hear you with or without the filter as long as the call went through. Check to see if the Mute button has been inadvertently pressed. It lights up red at the lower left side of your phone. When it's on, the person you're talking to can't hear you. If that's not it, you can call Customer Servive at (800) 222-3111 or go to www.telephones.att.com. Hope this helped.

If you have DSL, the filters you have to put on your phones might be the culprit. In that case, call your DSL provider.

Have you tried to adjust the volume of your computer? I didn't have such problem with this device. If you recently purchased this device, and you are having problems with people unable to hear you, you might want to call the manufacturer. I believe Amazon.com may have the toll free number. Hopefully my suggestion helps.

I actually have noticed this as the caller on the other end, and then some other times I don't hear the echo as the caller. I am not sure as to why it happens.. maybe they have both cordless phones on and near each other? Next time I call and I hear the echo I will ask if they have more than one phone on.

I'm guessing you mean DSL (rather than DLS)? This unit has no DSL filtering. It provides three functions: 1) Takes a single 4-wire CAT3 phone cable (standard phone line) and allows you to spread that across 6 extension lines; 2) Provides an RJ31X jack which allows an alarm system to take controll of the entire system so that the alarm has priority; 3) Provides an RJ11 standard phone jack for testing the phone line or for use as a 7th connection. To filter DSL, you'd want to add a filter on the single line input before connecting to this unit.

My father-in-law had one of these phones. We talk with him often without any noise. This probably is caused by some local interference. Try using it in a different location.

I have the main phone/answering machine. I have an additional handset in each of two different rooms. T paired them to the main unit (phone/answering machine) using the menu on the main system. My issue with the answering machine is that the message waiting beeps are very low for hearing impaired users.

It is not connected over VOIP. This device is basically a cell phone in a box. It is possible that your cellular phone has poor reception or has reception problems. Or just that the home phone device has a better antenna.

No, sorry. But if you have a DSL line through your phone company, you may need to get an updated filter from them

I have mine plugged into a regular phone line. I do not have DSL, just crackle and static. This product did not seem to help fix that, as I was hoping it would. The static is either from the phone lines in the walls, or from my Panasonic DECT 6.0 cordless phone.

Turn the dial down to where you cannot hear anything and then, turn it up a notch. That should do it.

I am not sure. What I am sure of is that no one can hear me when I talk. I have attempted to Contact them several times with no answer

I have dsl running through my house & I have portable phone jacks that I use to connect my satellite tv to a phone line so I can see caller id on the tv screen. Because I have dsl through my phone jacks, I have a dsl filter plugged into each jack in the house. If you don't use dsl filters, you will have static in your telephone lines.

I have line filters because I have DSL. Not being terribly technologically talented, not sure if this is what you're asking.

SO, the previous owners of the house had DSL. As such, these DO NOT work. When I bypassed the phone jacks and went off the cable box (VOIP with AT&T;), there was static. They have become unusable.

If you have AT&T; DSL you will need to get a DSL filter for your line, otherwise you will likely get interference from the data signal on the line, or possibly interrupt your internet when using the fax. If you have an existing fax on the line, you should be fine. It has worked fine for me so far, I do not receive many faxes, though, mostly outbound.
