My home phone keeps ringing

Every 10 minutes or so my home phone will ring once and then cut off.  When I dial 1471 I get a message saying that the number is unavailable.  Anyone know what this could be?  It is getting very annoying.

    When you are on your way home, you can forward your calls to your home phone. Cancel forwarding when you get to an area with service.
    *72-xxx-xxx-xxxx with the x's being your home phone #.
    *73 to cancel.
    You can also do this with Google Voice.

  • My phone keeps ringing at all hours day and night

    My house phone keeps ringing at all hours day and night.  It only rings once or twice.  If I pick it up the line is dead.  I think it might be from skype because I noticed a strange California area code phone number once and a friend said that was a phony number that skype uses to send out calls.  Can I find out who keeps calling me?  This is telephone harassment!

    I think you can try contacting your telephone service provider first for possibly more specific/accurate information.  Then if it is indeed a Skype number/call, you can submit a report to Skype.

  • Phone keeps ringing on the caller's end - Is This a Call Waiting and Flash Button Problem?

    I had FIos phone service installed 2 weeks ago.  I am having a sporadic but regularly occurring issue with incoming calls that I think might be related to the Call Waiting and flash button so I am looking for some input.  Before describing the issue here are a couple of things to know:
    - I have my Verizon voice mail service turned off on my account.
    - I have the call waiting function set to off.
    - On my phone handset the Talk and Flash operation is the same button.
    Now here is my issue.  Often but not 100% of the time people are telling me that the phone just rings and rings on their end.  After receiving many complaints since my Fios install that the phone rings and my phone answering machine does not pick up the call I have been calling my home phone number with my cell phone and I have determined the following:
    1.  My home answering machine will pick up the call, however on my cell phone which is the calling end the  phone is still just ringing.
    2.  Sometimes I will press the talk button but there will be dead air but on my cell phone which is the calling end it will still be ringing..  But if I press the Talk/Flash button a couple of times the call completes.
    Since my Talk and Flash button are the same I started to wonder if that is a factor so I repeated scenarios above and found that after pressing the Talk button a couple of times then the call is answered and the phone stops ringing on the caller's end.
    I know that with Call Waiting the caller's end will just keep ringing unless the called end switches over with the Flash button.  So my question is even though I have the Call Waiting function turned off could the combination Talk/Flash button be the reason why the call just rings on the caller's end even though I have Call Waiting turned off?  And f this is the cause then why is it happening and does it mean that I have to buy a new phone that has separate Talk and Flash buttons?
    I hope the above description of my problem makes sense and can be answered.  Thank you

    Without buying a new phone you can test this. Unplug the phone that has the combination button. If its a cordless phone base station with multiple handsets, make sure you unplug those as well. Then use a regular phone plugged in to do test calls (if you dont have one you could maybe borrow one for a couple minutes from a friend, family, or neighbor).

    Thank you very much.

    hi and welcomw to the forum.
    It does sound like you are being called by a computer system. Does your phone have caller display and if so does it show the number that is calling you? if not have you tried dialling 1471 after the call?

  • Skype's latest build on Android keeps ringing afte...

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble with Skype mobile's latest build on my Android phone (Garmin-asus Nuvifone a50 with Android 2.1-update1, latest version available for that phone)
    I downloaded the latest skype update yesterday (Sept. 29, 2011), it says it's version 33882220.
    Since then, whenever I receive a call, once I pick it up, the phone keeps ringing and vibrating, and I can't get out of the call window, even if I hit the hang up button. The phone keeps ringing until I disconnect Skype or kill the app within Android.
    Same problem when I try to call someone, the person picks up, but the phone keeps ringing, even though I am speaking with the person I'm calling. Here too, if I hang up, I effectively close the communication, but the phone keeps ringing and does not close the communication window. Only disconnecting or killing the app solves the constant ringing.
    Edit: I forgot to mention, I tried to reboot my phone, but it did not solve the problem. The I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype, but it did not solve the problem (although I did not reboot the phone after uninstalling...)
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    me too , i have the same issue

  • E72 keeps ringing at display after answer button i...

    I have a problem with my E72.
    The phone keeps ringing in the display for about 20-30 sec after I have pressed the answer button. The phone call gets connected but not in the display. I also have the bluetooth headset BT-215 with vibration and that also vibrates during this period but I can speak and hear as normal.
    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?
    I´ve tried the do a hard reset and upgraded the firmware but it doesn´t work any better.

    I got the issue solved - I turned all devices off, then on again. Turned FaceTime off (then on) on all devices. FaceTime and call sync working great.

  • I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the problem is resolved.

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • How do i keep my phone from ringing when listening to pandora?

    How do I keep my phone from ringing while listening to pandora? I am a massage therapist and want to use my phone for music but even when it is on silent it rings during session!!

    My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Hi Ruth:
    Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
    This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
    I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
    always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
    several months ago.  Is there a setting I can adjust?
    Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
    without being diverted to voice mail.
    Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
    Thanks.

  • Home phone number of rings?

    I have  new vtech home phone. I want to extend the numbetr of rings beyond the six allowed within the phone settings. Note that the command <*98XX# where XX is 59 or less> doesn't seem to work on my phone. Help please?

    Hello,This is the procedure Step 1 of 3: Pick up the phone and press * 99Step 2: Enter the number of seconds you wish the phone to ring before a call is diverted (between 5 and 60 seconds).Step 3: Press # and hang up.  If this procedure does not work on your phone, you will need to ring Telstra customer service on 132200,  as possibly this feature has not been activated on your service.  Hope this helps

    Close All Open Apps...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

  • Does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    Yes.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
