How to get phones to ring when someone calls - Emerson DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone w/ Digital Answering

Look for setting that controls the ring.

Hi J,

Do you mean how to make it ring when someone calls a specific phone number, or when someone calls the specific extension?

If for a phone number, then you need the line to appear and ring on the phone. Let me know which one you're doing.

Who is your carrier? the voice mail is set up via them call or web site. Your phone rings or not rings check ringer volume and ring tone and check if you always have a good signal.

wen i receive incoming calls there is no ring or message alert

You probably have silent mode on. Try pressing and holding the pound or the star key. One of those will probably release silent mode, so that whatever ring setting you have can be used.

it may be turned down to low.press the program key and use the scroll bar below the keypad to find your option...hopes this helps

disable name display

when someone calls, the phone rings only one time. calling other people works normally. Is this due to a lack of sufficient current to activate the bells of the three telephones we have in the house?

is the volume down if it isnt than put on another ring tone

Hi the only way you can make the phone ring longer is to goto settings scroll down to call select call then select call divert then select cancel all diverts after you have dont this then select divert if busy turn this on then divert if out of reach turn this on the select divert if not available now leave them like that then when your phone is switched on it wont goto answer unless your on phone to someone else or you hang up on someone.
With the settings like that it will goto answer phone if phone is off or if you have no signal or if you are on phone to someone else but now your phone will ring for aslong as someone rings you for.
Let me know if you need further assistance
