Ordered two of these phones and they do not ring! Ironic, after seeing so many complain about the volume level of the ringer! Help Please!

on the side of the phone there is a ringer volume. i think if you pull it down that is the loudest. try it both ways

It does ring just fine, could be a little louder, but then again that could be me.

http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/TRU9485om.pdf One thing I found about these handsets is the buttons quit working and there is nothing you can do. I took it apart and cleaned any contacts I could get to and still nothing. These are crap. But at least you have the manual now. Have fun!

Because this isnt a prepaid SMART phone,the only thing we've been able to customize; in so far as tone; is my husbands ring tone,which he had to load from an on-line ring tone downloading site.Perhaps you could contact Samsung directly to discuss OTHER possibilities for this phone?I apologize that I couldnt be more help.

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'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 NEVER GOT TO USE THE PHONE AT ALL! It's so annoying because I was so excited with this phone. I'm forever stuck on starting up system mode and no matter what I do (unplugging the base, de-registering, restarting, etc), I never get past that starting up mode! Philips wasnt any help either. I'm so disappointed :( Anybody got a solution for this>

Check Phone Zone's ratings. If you like their reputation buy a new phone not used. Mine was new mint in factory box. Bruce.

If the phone is new, the only reason I have found is extensive use with loud ring tones (set on max AND continuous ring tone until you answer the phone), large data use, etc. If its a used phone, the most likely issue is a battery near the end of its life. If none of these apply, there must be a power draw somehow-maybe a loose or faulty connection. ONE wAY TO CHECK THIS OUT IS TO CHARGE THE PHONE UP, PULL OUT THE BATTERY AND INSERT BACK IN THE PHONE AFTER A DAY. if THE BATTERY HAS DISCHARGED ITS AN OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERY. IF STILL HOLDS ITS CHARGE AFTER A DAY, ITS THE PHONE.

Robert - I had to look to make sure. The ringer makes two sounds - slightly different so you can tell which line is active without having to run to look at the indicator lights. Yes, there is a ringer switch up near the 'line input' socket. The switch has just two settings "off" and "on". There is no "high / low" option. And there is just the one switch. So if you turn it to "off" - the ringing sounds for both lines are silenced and only the indicator lights would be functioning. I'll have to say that this modestly price 2-line phone has continued to work perfectly since I bought it months ago. Hope this answers your question. Dan Robert - I had to look to make sure.

There is a setting in the phone. Try this: Go to MENU - SETTINGS - SOUND PROFILES - scroll to ACTIVE PROFILE - select PHONE to adjust ringtone and volume - select SPEAKER TAB FOR VOLUME.

Maybe your phones are okay. Mine were not. Many things wrong...rang when nobody was thereand 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.

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.

mmm I never have had this problem...maybe can you turn off the phone take out the battery and the sim card and put all in their places again and turn on, if this not work you can check in the setup options the volume in your cell phone... I dont have other ideas..sorry!

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 had the exact same issue. I got other handsets and they work just fine. Ooma handsets are horrible.

The phone never worked .. Never got a dial tone. I would not recommend product -- in fact, I have written off AT&T; phones entirely (not my first bad experience with them).
