go back to that base station and ensure that it recognizes the bedroom phone
follow the user manual to install other phones
the bedroom phone has to be the same exactly and not earlier versions or different makes

On the base unit, press MENU, then navigate to "Answering Device" then to "Settings" and then to "Ring Count". You can choose between 4 rings and "Toll Saver" which answers after 2 rings if there are already new messages, but 4 rings if there are not.

Wow, this is your lucky day :-)

From each phone, press PROGRAM 99 and the INTERCOM or CO buttons TWICE, then dial 1-8 and STORE. (default is 2). You can now make each line and intercom different, or each phone (up to 8) different. After you finish with each phone, just pick up and drop the handset back into the cradle to end programming.

The feature is called Ringing Tone Selection.

if there is no dial tone that means that the connection is not being made when you pick up the phone hence you cannot answer nor can you get a dial tone
the fact that the phone rings indicates that the land line is good so the fault is in the phone itself

We unplugged the whole unit and phone jack -- then plugged it back in. It worked.

IT IS DUE TO NETWORK FAILURE OF THAT LINE

The Expert was not able to help me. He read the same manual I did - I still can't get my phone off phonebook or get a dial tone. At times my intercom phone will say, "line in use". J.
