BT verve 450 quad

Hi I bought the Pack phone after reading on lots of reviews. have not used the phone yet as its still being charged but what I have noticed that I would have to manually input all contacts on all handsets individually which I find is outrageous that this day and age I'm not able to do 1. Manually input numbers on base phone and all other three updates but better still 2. Insert sim from my mobile and this should upload all contact data or 3. download from my PC. The booklet completely avoids any mention regarding phone book entries excepting how to type in the contacts. If I'm missing a trick please help me o wise ones and if I'm right shame on BT for not having this facility as I now have to sit down and tediously enter all names 4 times. May be ill through a phone party so ill have friends help me "specially when BT is proudly announcing that the verve holds 200 names for me its 200 x 4 can anyone help

found the answer on, online Verve's complete detailed hand book.

  • BT Verve 450 - Loses year setting on power-off

    Ah,  now found out how to start a topic!
    Verve 450 quad set.   Every time we have a power cut, the date partially resets.  Time OK, Month OK, but year resets to 2007.   I find out when the answering machine says message received eg: Saturday instead of of Friday.  Correct the year, stores OK, then resets to 2007 on the next power cut.   Is there a firmware fix?

    Hi Clive,
    Many (many) years ago, part of my job entailed dealing with BT Shop queries and (if I remember correctly) when it came to replacing faulty equipment and working out if the product was still in warrantee we usually went by the date the issue was reported to us.
    In this case, as the warrantee date has passed chances we wouldn’t have been able to offer a free replacement as it’s out of warrantee (even if the issue occurred before it expired).
    Things might have changed since then though and it’s still worth contacting them about it, but I can’t make any promises I’m afraid.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • BT Verve 450 - Adding Handsets From Another System

    I have a BT Verve 450 Quad system and one handset has died - i replaced the battery, but it's dead! Thinking i'd be clever i purchased a used twin setup on Ebay - it all seems to function Ok, but how on earth do you get the handsets to work on the quad system ?
    Has anyone out there tried this with any success - any guidance greatly appreciated!

    Hi.
    have you had a look at the manual here:http://btsupport.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/19029​99/1297333827/redirect/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xM​... you might see something in there that can help you.

  • BT Verve 450 keeps cutting out

    Hi
    I have a BT verve 450 duo and whenever I pick up the phone from the base unit when someone is calling the phone goes dead. However, if the same phone or the second phone is on the other charger phone there is no problem. I am sure there is a problem with the base unit. Any ideas?
    Kind regards

    Its odd that both handsets reset, but it could be a bad batch of batteries.
    I assume that when you received the phones, the plastic tap that isolates the battery supply was still in place?
    Did you remove the tab on both handsets?
    Have you checked that the batteries are makeing contact inside? Take them out and then put them back in again.
    There is a BT help page here.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10853/~/bt-verve-450
    There is a helpline number on that page.
    All I can suggest it that you contact the place you purchased the phones from, and ask for a replacement.

  • Connecting Non-BT handset to BT Verve 450 base uni...

    I have an elderly relative coming to stay and he has a "Doro PhoneEasy 100w" to help with his poor hearing and failing eyesight.
    He has asked if I could connect his second handset to my BT Verve 450 base unit to help with any phone calls he receives or makes.
    I've looked in my user guide but can't see any instructions on increasing the number of handsets that can be registered to the base unit.
    He assures me his handset is "GAP" compatible.
    Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated.
    Ruth. 

    Just did a quick google search and yes his handset is a GAP compliant handset but I am not sure how to get toe Doro handset into registration mode. it should be in the menu somewhere.
    Once the handset is in registration mode, press the "find" button on the BT verve basestation until it beeps and it should register the phone to the base station.
    I think the process is the same for the BT verve handsets to the BT graphite ones I have reigstered a GAP handset to my graphite 2100 basestation

  • BT verve 450 base settings help

    Hope some on can help??
    Recently bought  the Verve 450 every thing works fine accept the base unit/answer machine. I have caller display so everything works from the point of view. What I cant seem to do is change the time and date on the answering machine, but the hand set is showing the correct time
    I have tried re registering the phone etc but nothing seems to work.
    Pleas help......

    Hi Chockie,
    the answer machine should be set automatically if you have the caller display (as your handsets are showing corrcet time it is likely the phone has a problem, or has got out of synch with the handset).
    Try setting the time manually -
    press menu and scroll 'Redial' to 'settings' and press OK.
    Scroll 'calls' top 'clock/time/alarm' then ptress ok,
    date/time is highlighted, press ok.
    the default time is in 24hr clock, to change scrol with the 'phonebook' or 'sms' button to choose 12 hour clock.
    similar thing for the date formatt either  day/month or month/day using the 'phonebook' or 'sms' button.
    use 'calls' to scroll to to 'enter time' and input the time, same again for the date. then press ok to save (on page 10 of the user manual).
    If this doesnt work, try disconnecting the unit from the power and line for 10-15 minutes to reset.
    If this last tatic doesnt solve the problem, then the phone is faulty and if under warranty take it back to wherever you bought it from.
    Hope that helps.

  • BT Verve 450

    Okay - second time lucky as Preview ate up my earlier post :*(
    I have a BT Verve 450 which does not work with voicemail options no matter how hard or often I press the selected option. Eventually the voicemail kicks in with 'sorry didn't understand' etc and then repeats the blessed options all over again, before cutting me off.
    Anyone else had this?
    Anyone suggest a solution?
    Thanks in advance, Euphrosene (this time unpreviewed!)

    Many thanks, Mary.
    I changed the settings and planned to ring a number that uses voicemail but, as luck would have it - and on a Sunday pm! - a guy answered the 'phone. So I'll have to try it on another one tomorrow.
    But thanks again for taking the time to respond.

  • BT Verve 450 twin won't ring out ! HELP PLEASE

    we have just been on holiday for a week, phone was working fine when we left however on our return the phones will not ring out when a caller ring us ! all that happens is the screen flashes up and says silence on the bottom of screen then goes back to standby screen, the caller thinks its ringing out when it isn't. can anyone tell me how to solve this issue ?
    i have re set handsets and base to default and tried everything i can think of , its driving us nuts !!

    If you search the community for Verve 450, you will find many problems and solutions.
    A display of "silent" would suggest volume turned down to low, or ringer muted.
    I assume that you have powered the base station down for a while, then powered it up again. This will reset any locked up hardware.

  • BT Verve 450 Plus is out of stock! Ordering a phon...

    The BT Verve 450 Plus is out of stock with the BT staff having no idea when it will be back in stock! THIS ITEM IS STILL BEING SOLD ONLINE BUT YOU WILL NOT GET IT!
    I ordered this phone 3 weeks ago with the track your order saying it would be delivered 2 days after the order. It did not come so I left it the standard couple of weeks. Just phoned them and it is out of stock. Was told to go to my nearest BT Shop to see if they had any in stock, the 'BT Shop' would sell it to me at the same price as online and then get a refund from the online team.
    This seemed reasonble so I hung up, googled nearest BT Shop and then realised, that BT do not have any real life Shops! I had been fobbed off by the friendly team in India. Phoned them back and was told I could only cancel the order and get a different phone. Even though the Verve 450 plus is still the 'Star Buy' online!!!
    I asked them to just order me the Hudson 1500 plus instead as it is the same price but they cannot do this.  No offer of free delivery or any compensation for the lies I had been told and the pain of waitin gweeks for a phone that is never going to come. Or fraudulently selling a phone online they know they do not have!!!
    BEWARE.

    The BT shop is ran by Dabs.com which was bought by BT years ago but ran as a separate company and the BT shop is just a reskinned version of Dabs and the only reason why I use the BT shop they have cheaper p&p than dabs do, which is stupid.
    Both Dabs and BT are showing stock of 14 yet you say that they claim it is out of stick, sounds like they are having a right problem with stock control or the call centre is trying to fob you off.
    I would write to Dabs.com and ask why you were told to go to a BT shop when they don't exist any more and while is their stock control is so out of whack.
    Even if you get fobbed off handling a complaint letter costs these companies money and the more that people do it the more likely they will change something.
    As a consolaton Amazon has it cheaper than Dabs, with free delivey and Amazon stock control is bang on.

  • Bt Verve 450 Trouble with Answer machine

    With kind thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was unable to set my outgoing message. The handset would show empty battery and then switch off for about 10 seconds! This occurred on all handsets, with full, new battery and even if plugged into a charger!
    I reset the base - no change (see above for instructions)
    I reset the handset - success!
    Handset reset
    This resets your BT Verve 450 handset - Addresses are retained
    1. Press Menu, scroll to Settings and press OK.
    2. Scroll to H/set settings. Press OK.
    3. Scroll to Handset reset. Press OK.
    4. At "Reset to default" Select yes.
    5. If you select "Yes", the handset displays "Please wait" followed by a tick, it then exits the menu mode. If you press
    No, it returns to the previous menu level

  • Verve 450 Answer Machine Stuck on Answer Only.

    Hello,
    The problem I have is that even though the answer machine has been set to Answer and Record, when you ring you only get  "Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment and you cannot leave a message, so please call later", and you can't leave a message.
    It used to work fine, but has just started to happen.
    The phone has been switched on and off, the answering settings switched on an off....any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    Hi Lisab,
    If you answer mcahine message capacity is full then any answer machine will revert to the Announce only mode. You need to delete some messages from the Verve 450.

  • BT Verve 450 - setting up 2nd base set

    I am trying to setup a 2nd base set - I've tried the manual p63 to p66 - it talks about selecting a base set so you can register an extra handset but cannot find instructions to set up 2nd base set in first place.
    When 2nd base set is set up, what happens with incoming calls - how do you transfer to handset registered to other base set?
    Also I believe you can have hand sets registered to 2 base sets - how does this work?
    Please help.

    I just did a google search and it refers back to BT forums, including my post of December 2012
    "using bt verve 450 phones with multiple base sets
     on ‎13-12-2012 0h09
    We wish to have more than 5 handsets & understand that can have multiple base sets from 450 download booklet but no instructions/info how the expanded system will work -
    how should multiple base sets be setup? I presume each base set would have to be connected separately to incoming line?
    Would one act like an "exchange" for incoming calls? If so how would you redirect them to a hand set only registered to another base set? (BT booklet states cannot transfer calls between handsets registered to different base sets!??)
    If passed a call to a dual registered handset could call then be forwarded to another handset only registered to that 2nd base set? So - what function would 2nd base set have?
    Would out going calls be affected if from handset only registered to 2nd base set?
    Will all phones on all base sets ring when external call rec'd?
    Please note this is a purely domestic setup - just wish to stop having to run about the house etc when calls rec'd for members of the family.
    Please help, thanks, gxsangha"
    Does anybody use BTVerve 450s in an office situation where you may have had this requirement - I cannot be only person to want to use multiple base sets & dual registered handsets???

  • BT Verve 450 Ring Tone

    We have a Verve 450 base unit and three extra handsets. The base station does not ring loudly enough when someone calls and a remote handset does not ring immediately. I have tried adjusting the ringtone sound level but it will not ring loudly enough. Can somebody give me guidance on rectifying this fault please ? Many thanks
