I own this phone. It reads "Silent Mode On". I can't receive calls. People who call me get a busy signal. How can I undo this?

Excerpt from the user manual: With the phone in standby mode, press and hold the # key on any handset. The phone prompts you to select the number of hours(1-9 or Always On) that you want it to stay in silent mode. To confirm, press the # key or just wait about 5 seconds. The phone turns on the answering system and displays Silent Mode on each handset. To exit the Silent Mode manually, press and hold the # key again. Note: If the phone is in silent mode and you turn off the answering system, the phone exits silent mode.

It doesn't beep annoyingly... BUT I'm still trying to figure out how to ACCEPT the call waiting call!! Doesn't address it in the manual, and it's hard to test it out until it's actually happening... and friends start getting annoyed when you a) cut them off and/or b) can't answer their call! Otherwise, I so far love this phone. I got it for it's EcoFriendly mode, to keep the EMF footprint in my home as low as possible... but love it for lots of other reasons!

I have the same problem as well even though my cell phone is still in very good condition externally. Wish I knew too how to bring it back into service.

The same thing happened to me when I first closed the phone up. You need to go back inside of the phone and make sure those connections are made perfectly and completely. If that does not work , go back and start from the beginning of the directions. If that does not work , seek more professional help.

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!

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

I have the same problem. There were no instruction on how to connect to phone; amazon is aware of this and I haven't received any response, it's been several months since I made them aware of this problem.

You could try combination button pushes. I had this happen to an earlier Pre phone the first day I owned it. A call to tech service suggested a hard reset. I think the combo was to hold down the power button and then press volume up three times. That might just get it going if it's not a dead battery issue.

Had the same problem. Tried all the usual solutions with no luck. It was well past warranty time, so I just bit the bullet and bought an individual replacement phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear.

I haven't had any troubles with people hearing me, they hear me just fine. When you get someone on the phone use the side volume button and turn it up. If you don't this already then there's something wrong with your phone. I would then go to a Verizon store and ask them. Hopefully this will of some help to you! Good luck!

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings&gt;networks tab&gt;call&gt;noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

On the hearing portion look on the side of your volume control there is a button that slides up and down that button is the mute and unmute button when it is slid up its unmuted so they should here you if its slid down then your muted and they can't here you. As far as phone ringing on the side of the keypad make sure thr ringer switch is switched to in and the volume is up.

That's the same problem I had. The numbers on the keypad of the phone stopped working, prohibiting me from retrieving voice mail. I got rid of the V-tech phone and bought a Panasonic. Works much better and has a "call block" feature to prevent annoying telemarketers from calling!

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!

If he FREAKS like you said, this is the LAST phone u want to get. It freezes all the time. I'll dial a number, phone reverts to home screen, 10 seconds later, it'll start ringing, even if u opened something else. Half the time i press a softkey, there is a 5-10 second delay. During that delay, in my frustration i'll press another softkey, then the original key i pressed will open up. I'm not autistic, and i freak out with this phone.

That was the exact same problem I had with that phone. Sorry, no good answer to help here.
