I bought this phone set 9 months ago. Suddenly, it hangs up on every caller after the fourth ring. Doesn't record messages, Ideas? I changed it to 2 rings, because I couldn't get it to change to 3 rings. It now answers and takes a message but the message isn't accessible by the phone, you have to push the play button on the base to hear the message. But at least I can use this until I buy a new phone! I bought this phone set 9 months ago. Suddenly, it hangs up on every caller after the fourth ring. Doesn't record messages, Ideas?

I've only had mine for a month or so, but it wouldn't even take a message until I changed it to 3 rings. I think it's because it's also hooked up to my fax machine. It disrupted everything. Try changing the number of rings before it goes to messages. Hope this helps.

We had some problems like that too. We use OOMA as our carrier and it was a problem with the two devices. we turned off the features on the OOMA and all is okay now.

I have the same phone set, but have had it less than 9 months. Have had no problems. I use AT&T; Uverse where I live, and so get my phone messages via Uverse, and not the phone set answering system. The phone works well for me. Have you tried resetting your answering machine? It sounds like the glitch is in that part of the phone. Also suggest that you google the phone set to see if this problem has occurred with others. So sorry not to have an answer for you. At this point, I am very satisfied with my phone set. If you get a solution to your problem, would you post it please? I may need it in a few months! I have the same phone set, but have had it less than 9 months. Have had no problems.

You may have the Answering machine turned off. On the base Look for a button that says Answer On/Off. If you push it and it says "Answer on", The answering machine will record messages. If you already had it on, then the answering machine may be broke.

You have to hang up the phone after you enter and save each number. Make sure you access the panel on the back to start entering the numbers.Hopes this helps.

I don't know - we have only had it a couple of months and have never looked into that feature. But we really like the phone - easy to use and easy voice mail. Maybe you could call their tech support to find out.

I am unimpressed with Ooma all the way around. We rarely use the HD2 handsets so keep them in their charging cradles. When we use them, we only use them sporadically and not for long calls. This is probably because we have lost confidence in the system. I have called tech support twice because the phones immediately go to voicemail. We get it fixed and the next day it is back to not ringing. It has become an over glorified, expensive answering machine. The handsets are slippery and hard to hold on to. No ergonomic forethought. I have their biggest calling plan, too.

That happened to me also, just after the 90 days were up. All people could hear was static, no voice. I tired to call magic jack, without any response and that is also after I took advantage of the five year plan and paid they 29.95 x 5. I was very unhappy with customer service and ended up breaking my contract and still having to pay another $32 to get my phone number back. I would not recommend magic jack to any one. It is just a cheap piece of equipment that dies even before the 90 days are up, but they keep you going round and round, and the 90 days is up, and they won't do anything about it! NEVER have anything to do with MJ again!!!!!! That happened to me also, just after the 90 days were up. All people could hear was static, no voice.

It seems to work after one ring. Could be the bothersome caller just hangs up after one ring since I had my answering machine set to pick up after one ring before I installed the call blocker. Once it did ring three times with the call blocker in place. But the number of calls have noticeably diminished. At this stage I am relatively satisfied with it.

Hmmmm...ticking sound? any enemies stopped over lately? Actually, switch the battery from one of your other phones to to this one to see if this phone starts to work. If it fixes the problem, then your batteries are dying out and should be replaced. Otherwise, some liquid got into the phone and fried the circuits.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

Perhaps you have a bad unit. My units work fine though hard to clear all calls. I have to continually push the review arrows and finally the last number called will show. Have not had the all 8's on the two units I have in service.

Make sure you turn off the talking option on every phone that is with the unit. I have the phone with the base and 4 additional hand units. I turned off the hand units but forgot to turn off the one connected to the base. It was very frustrating !!! So make sure ALL hand units are turned off.

Len, Honestly can't remember and just as honestly don't want to. That $*^-#&@ Phone quit making calls about 2 weeks after I bought it! And Net10 customer service ran me around for months with broken promises and 0 fixes. It was a bad phone (probably not an indicator of Motorola's quality or service) but the horrible customer service the Net10-Tracfone-StraightTalk conglomerate provided. I will say they seem to have straightened out that department since my hair pulling experience. You have few choices in this area of providers so I guess you can only hope for the best. Good luck, sorry I wasn't more help.John Len, Honestly can't remember and just as honestly don't want to. That $*^-#&@ Phone quit making calls about 2 weeks after I bought it!

The clarity on mine is perfect. However, I have a different problem. The phone answers automatically after only one ring. The seller told me to exchange it for a new one. Otherwise, it is a nice phone.

I have noted similar issues. The mic wont record anything for some days, but the earbuds and/or bluetooth headsets work... then, out of the sudden, the mic works for some hours, then it dies again. This, among others, is the reason I believe nobody should buy this item again, It is not what the merchant promises, I takes too long to arrive and costs 100 bucks. Finally you will got a crappy small tablet (because the phone isn't reliable) with a mix of an old version of android (2.1 or above) with some features coming from 4.1. Also, very low ram. You will do better buying other phone, or, for tablet, an Amazon Fire HD 6 for less the price and less te headaches and time.

I recommend finding a different phone. I almost never had service anywhere when I had this phone. Plus this phone is a piece of junk anyways... No memory and I had to have it replaced by Straight Talk 5 times before I finally gave up and bought a different phone.

Gary, Were you able to find a phone which shows number of messages? We are in the same boat, this is the only reason we have not bought this phone yet. I am looking for a similar Panasonic model with that capability. Thanks, junaid

I just tried my system and could not detect any difference in the interval between rings, I did notice that there appeared to be a very slight delay from the calling phone to my base phone ring ( used my cell phone to call panasonic, both in front of me ) not enough to be a problem. Have had no issues with my unit and really like it. Problem could be on the phone company side maybe, do not recall anything in the manual addressing this.

It's not the phone, but your service that blocks calls. Talk to AT&T; or whomever you use to get service and they will tell you how to do it. We have had these phones for 2.5 years, and couldn't be happier.
