The handset that gets the most use is acting up. Its blocking calls from cell phns. Might this be a battery problem, or must I replace this handset?

It sounds like a low battery. Radio Shack can test your battery to see if it does need replacement. Another option is reprogram your system and that may resolve your problem. I had the same trouble and had to replace the portable handset.

That seems odd, that one handset could differentiate incoming calls as mobile or land line. The base station has a call-block feature that allows you to store up to 30 phone numbers to be blocked - which would also block those same numbers to each handset. I use this feature to filter spammers like, "Hello, this is Rachael, this your last chance to receive lower interest rates on your Credit card, etc. " and to filter political calls that relentlessly seek donations. You might go into the Call Block option and make sure phone numbers are not blocked that you did not intend to block. The feature can be accessed from any handset under Initial Settings/Call Block. If your batteries are more than a couple of years old, I'd replace them with new AAA NI-MH that can be purchased anywhere - and you will probably find batteries now have higher amp/hour capacity than your original batteries. If that does not fix the problem, you can use the new batteries in any handset that gets weak quickly during longer phone calls. Have you checked to be sure the handset is not set to "sleep" or not ring during certain hours? I use this often on the handset near my bed. Calls will come in but ring only at the base station and other handsets. It's called Silent Mode in the menu under Initial Settings. Another option would be to call Panasonic and ask if the handsets have some sort of reset procedure, but I doubt that they have a reset. Sorry I don't have any definitive answer. I have six handsets and they have been 100% reliable. However, I replaced some of the older batteries when the handset acted weird or faded during longer conversations.

So what you are saying is that when someone calls the house using a cell phone the panasonic phone blocks those calls? but allows land based phone calls to go through? Is it all all cell phone callers or just one or two? I never heard of that happening so not sure why the panasonic would be doing that because really it doesnt know what device on the far end is making the call.

We have had our 3 handsets for over 5 years without a problem with any of the sets. I you still have the instruction manual, you might want to check the feature which allows you to block calls. We have never used that function and I do not have any idea how to activate or deactivate that feature. Are you able to receive calls from other land line phones still, and is it from all cell numbers, or just one specific number? Sorry that I cannot be of more help, but you might want to go to the Panasonic website and see if they may be of assistance. Loren

I have no idea, but perhaps that is what my problem is. When I dial out, I get a response the line I am calling is not in service. I am trying to problem solve with Verizon but not solved yet. I will look through the paperwork that came with the phone to see if perhaps it is some sort of 'registration' issue that is causing our phone to not work. On another topic, the attachments, like the wrist and necklace require registration before they will work with the phone. My issue is just getting the phone to work.

I had that issue with a previous phone. The Bluetooth of the phone was 'acting up' in my case all it took was to remove and replace the battery in that phone. Hope that works for you.

I have 12 of these phones in my business, and have never had an experience like that. I suspect it is a problem with the telephone. If you have more than 1, try disconnecting them 1 at a time, to see if they all have the same problem. Also make sure that the right hand button that says "CELL" is not in the "ON" position. Next contact Uniden, their products are usually pretty good quality.

Ok. Some possibilities: and none of these are meant to be judgemental because I've done them.First: make sure the volume on your phone is up and the "do not disturb" function is off.For the handset to work for two weeks then suddenly stop is more a sign of changes in the phone settings.Remember that the center button on the handset turns the connection on and off. Best bet is the volume control on the phone. We have 3 of the handsets and my cousins have two. No problems at all.

Do the same thing a number of times. ... fill up and drain...mine works fine.... something may be switched on in the phone and is draining the battery..check your settings

Have no idea, ha e not had that problem. I have on occasion got message emergency calls only, which I find baffling as that's why I have the phone, but it won't put a call through when that message comes up, I think it's because the phones are cheap junk, but all I can afford.

I have had a lot if issues with ours and it is less than a year old. They have traded us parts to replace things. I am sure if you go through their website they will allow you to buy a new handset. I will say their customer service is horrible if you try call, it is better if you go through their website. Good luck.

Do you have a meter where you can test if the base is supplying power to the handset. I assume you don't have a handset but there should be power coming through to the terminals. If they are dead then you're a dead duck.

I had the same problem with mine and Verizon could not determine what the cause was. They replaced it for no charge but mine was less than 6 months old. I have one I will part with as I do not use it any longer.

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

The reason is that when your phone notResponding you have to reboot the phone. I believe this is software problem. I regret buying this phones.

Got the same problem. Going to try a different battery. If it happens again, I will try the recommended "reset" instructions to see if that works. We should not have to do this if hundreds of other people are not having to "reset" their battery/phone.

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I've had my previous phone for going on 6 years now actually, and all calls were placed from my house, where I've made countless calls without a single instance of a dropped call before this new phone. Perhaps I did get a lemon. I'll look into exchanging it (unwisely I purchased it elsewhere). I'm back to using my ancient phone in the meantime. :) Thanks again for the feedback!

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 just purchased this phone, and am having the same problem. It is especially frustrating because I bought this phone specifically because it has a headset.
