How do i pick up messages from another phone.

It might be that your pick up key is mislabeled/programmed. Press feature * 0 then the pick up key to identify what the feature is on the button. If it's not pick up, exit out of button inquiry press feature * 3 the button you want to program (pick up) then press feature 75 That will program it as a group pick up key

You'll need to download the manual from Uniden for the specifics for your phone, but the general process is the same for all phones with remote capability. You call your phone while you're away, and when your message starts playing you enter a security code. (That's why you need the manual; not all models use the same default code. You can also change the code, and the manual will explain the steps.) Once you've entered your code, other codes allow you to play messages, delete them, and possibly record a new outgoing message.

By the way, answering machines usually have a "toll-saver" ring setting. When you pick this, your phone rings six or seven times before answering if it hasn't taken any messages since you last checked. This gives you time to hang up so you don't run up toll charges only to learn you have no new messages. Many people have mobile phones with unlimited calling plans now, but others might still need to pay extra for long-distance.

"DECT 6.0" is the generic name for the digital cordless technology used, not a particular phone model number. You'll need to look at the back or bottom of your phone's base unit for a sticker with the actual model number. Once you have your model number, you can download a copy of the manual from VTech here. Just find your model and click to download.

You can download the manual for your specific phone from the manufacturer's web site at

You will have to do a little programming to accomplish this. I attached a website to this message that has all the Toshiba manuals. You will have to look at program number 16 for line access and 81 for ringing options. The code to get in program mode is *#*#1*2*3. Hope this helps.

From what I have been told from a similar experience is: When it is a phone that is exclusively made for one service provider they tend to pick up a better signal since they are programmed to just accept that signal. Motorola makes phones for many service providers so they don't program it to be exclusive to one provider. By doing this the phone doesn't pick up as good of a signal as it would if it were originally programmed to pick up just one provider. I know this is a bit confusing and kinda hard to make sense by typing it but I hope it atleast helped a little bit.

When answering machine picks up, message says "No one is available to take your call. Please call back." I cannot find "menu" on phone set for caller to leave message.

Try adding Cisco 7914 (time two) for additional (other) phone lines, or define caller group so phone call rings around.

Do you mean have calls transferred to voice mail? Go into system programming and change 408 (DIL 1:1 Nite) to point to the ext of the voice mail port, which depends on your system. That number is found in 118

First call your home number, when the answering machine picks up, dial 0 then the two digit security code. (You have to check the security code on the handset.) It will then give you voice prompts how to listen, skip and delete messages.
