When I ring my landline it rings out...but the phone itself does not ring...but if you answer you can take the call.
Does this mean I need to check the wiring? (IIRC there is a "ring" signal wire? - all bt wiring & old but nothing changed)
A similar thing happened to us, a couple of days later we noticed one of the kids had switched the ringer off. Doh, ivnickkate.
No kids here, nor gremlins...
maybe just a ghost then. Sleep tight 8O.
Have you exceeded the Ringer Equivalence Number? There is only enough voltage on the line to ring 3 (I think) devices. So if you have more handsets/answerphones/fax machines, you might have to disable the ringer on some.
maybe your phones broke
try another one if you can
Terminal 3 is your 'ringer' wire. Not needed for most modern phones and mains powered walkabout phones but if you have a phone a few years old it might still want it. You have two wires coming into the house, (terminals 2 and 5) the master socket will have a capacitor and resistor in it and this generates the ring for the first socket, any wires leaving for extension sockets will be using three wires, 2,3,5. Normally, blue/white and white/blue are 2 and 5, orange with white rings is 3.
cheers will have a look. It's a new dect phone, only one connected to line, no problems in previous 2 years. Seems that wire 3 shouldn't matter so I am a bit confused.
I can try my old phone and see if that works.
