Phone not ringing aloud, not taking messages

Hi all - hope someone can help!
The issue I have is with my direct dial line at work. When people call that line the phone never rings out loud (it does flash up briefly that there is a call coming in on the handset) – I have checked numerous phones on that line and the same thing happens.
The flashing on the phone (BT Paragon) then stops, but for the person calling in it is still ringing. This never clicks off – they always have to hang up. And the answering service never kicks in (despite being set up on BT answering service and the phone being set up to answer).
BT haven't been terribly enlightening!  They've tested the line and say there is not fault, but they've sent out 2 engineers with the wrong details and also told me that line doesn't exist!  So if I can fix it myself that would be better!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problems might be?
Many thanks
Solved!

  • Phone not deleting messages from the server

    Please help! My Blackberry Curve 9360 is not deleting messages from the server meaning that, after returning home from a week working away, i've still got a few hundred messages to wade through on my PC.
    I receive e-mails on the PC via Outlook Express. I've clicked on 'tools', 'accounts' then 'advanced' to ensure that the box for 'leave a copy of the message on the server' is unchecked i.e. messages sould be being deleted from the server when prompted to by the phone but this is not happening. Not sure what else to try or perhaps there was something i did / didn't do during the set-up of the phone.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Barry.

    Hello,
    Please check this KB:
    KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    All reconciliation capabilities between your BB and your email SERVER are governed by that KB. So, even if you set the other settings (e.g., "Delete On") correctly, they will be irrelevant if your email service does not support it (as per that KB).
    Further still, reconciliation between your email SERVER and your PC CLIENT software are something completely separate. Only in a very few circumstances (e.g., IMAP) does (for instance) Outlook reconcile items deleted at the Server down to the PC Client.
    Good luck!

  • Iphone5 MMS: older phones not receiving messages

    Iphone5, iOS6.1.4, Verizon. Brand-new phone I bought a couple weeks ago. So its brand-new, mint condition, untouched.
    I've been sending group messages, not realizing more than half of my friends/family were not receiving them.
    1.My aunt lives on the other side of the country and has some kind of smartphone(not iphone) and she's been receiving them just fine.
    2.My mother has a normal cellphone that is several years old AT&T, but she has only being receiving the subject line of the message. When she tries to "retrieve" the message, it always says "failed to retrieve". She has no problem getting text messages from everyone except me.
    3.My brother has a different model of a normal phone and he is on the same AT&T plan with my mother and he is able to receive my group messages.
    4.Some other friends with older phones and AT&T are not receiving the messages at all.
    So it's been very hit 'n miss on who can receive these group messages.
    I turned off iMessages first, then I finally turned off MMS Messages, and my mother was finally able to receive a group message from me.
    She has always been able to receive an individual message from me with MMS and iMessages turned on. This is strictly a group message problem of some kind.
    I was only sending her messages with text content, but the group messages always say MMS at the top regardless of what you send. I'm assuming turning off MMS forces group messages to use SMS.
    Why is iphone not able to degrade gracefully with a group message? Why can't it detect older phones in a group message and say "hmm...maybe I should use SMS, especially since the iphone is sending a message with text-only content anyway."
    It's really irritating that I have to either, remember to send INDIVIDUAL messages to every single person, OR keep MMS turned off just so older phones can receive a group message.
    Has anyone else had these kinds of problems, and if so, what did you do?
    Why does group messaging suck so bad on iphone? I group-messaged all the time on my normal cellphone and had no problems.
    Even if iphone turned off MMS for a specific message-group automatically because ONE phone involved in the group was too old, that would be better than having to manually turn off MMS for the entire phone. Degrade gracefully, Iphone. It's a fact that older phones will be around for a long time still. My mother's generation still has 30-40 years left in them and they hate change.

    Whether its the carrier or the phone model, why can't something detect that an MMS is the incorrect format?
    Why send it as an MMS if one of the phones isn't going to be able to receive it? Why not use SMS automatically on the iphone when the messages are text-only content anyway? Don't force a group message to be MMS unless it contains content like pictures that make MMS necessary.
    It reminds me of the time when I didn't have txtmsging at all and some friends did and they would send messages that I never received and they had no idea I didn't receive them. At least with email, you get a mailer-daemon shot at you.
    I don't expect SMS to fire back a NDR to tell you that the receipient doesn't have txtmsging, but it would be nice if MMS would downgrade to SMS when needed. Or remain at SMS until MMS is absolutely necessary.
    Why are group messages always magically MMS? The individual messages must either be automatically SMS or they are detecting what the phone on the other end can handle.

  • BT Stratus Answer Phone not recording messages

    I have had this phone for about a year or so after returning previous ones with different faults.   The answer and record facility on this unit will not work.  There are no messages to delete so its not full and it is set to answer and record.
    The message plays to the caller and says leave a message after the tone and then immediately says thank you for calling and cuts them off.  I also cannot record a memo.
    Is there a way of resolving this or am I going to return yet another dodgy BT product.  Not happy. :-(

    Have you tried disconnecting the phone from the line and the power supply for 20 minutes or so and plugging it back in?
    Perhaps a simple reset would do the trick.

  • Phone not sending messages abroad

    You will need to ring EE and ask for the international dialing bar to be lifted from your account.

  • Help! My phone is not taking the whole screen! (edge around the screen)

    I ve only been using my phone for less than a week. Today my phone was frozen so I hold down the home and the power button to do a reset. However, the apple logo appears and it took forever to get in the home menu so I hold down the buttons to reset the phone once again. The phone did get in the home screen after the second reboot but after that the size of the screen got smaller (Not taking the full screen) I turned off my phone and while I was under the sun i noticed that there is an edge around the screen! It is so noticable even I turned off the phone. So I used a full restore on my phone and now the edge is still there! Can anyone please tell me if they have the same problem before and know how to fix it(Like resizing the screen)? Thanks!!

    Is it a thick border? or just a couple rows? Mine has that, and a lot of electronics have the same thing... they cut the size they need and only use the pixels they want/need to use.
    For example I had a Zune and a new Nano that had the same thing... My Blackberry, and work cell phone... same thing.
    If its a thick border, then yes call apple and get it replaced/repaired.

  • Phone not ringing and voicemail notificati​ons on SMS not occurring

    Can someone help with this issue as it is beginning to drive me nuts !  Phone is not ringing and any voicemail message is not being notified by SMS.  This seems to have been happening since late 2013 but can't be sure of that.  Is this a SIM card issue, or a possible software issue.

    Could be either. 
    Are you using a Q10?  Your profile doesn't show a device or carrier.  it really helps us if you have that info added to your profile.  Since you're posting in the Q10 forum I'll assume you have a Q10.
    I would do a security wipe on the device first:
    To perform a Security Wipe please follow the instructions below. Be sure and use BB Link to make a full backup before proceeding with the wipe:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33591
    Once the wipe is complete you can restore your backup. Keep in mind that data in the backup may be the source of the original problem and restoring it may restore the problem, as well. To alleviate this I recommend not restoring the Settings portion of the backup.

  • Phone not ringing only vibrating

    Hi, my phone is not ringing for incoming calls, messages, emails, alerts or for the alarm.  Only vibrating.  I have checked the mute button, updated all sound settings, turned phone off and on again and reset the phone. Still no go.  Any suggestions?

    Nope, still not fixed just don't know the phone is ringning at all without looking at it.
    And if I try and ring out using the speaker phone option I can't hear the dial/ring tone when calling out.

  • I can not receive messages and i can't send messages also if someone rings me it, it rings at their end and then goes to voice mail but nothing at my end

    Talk to your carrier.  Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

  • I have an iphone 5 with iOS 6.  I just  tried to sync it with my itunes account to put new music on my phone and it gave me a message that said the iphone could not be synced b/c "the sync session had failed to start".  How do I fix this?

    I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4.  I just tried to sync my phone to my itunes acct to load new music onto my phone and it gave me a message saying that it was unable to sync b/c "the sync session failed to start".  It let me download all pictures, but would not let me do anything else and just kept repeating the same message.  Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

  • Blackberry curve (8300) is adding a 1 to phone number in SMS?? will not send message?

    I get an error message saying that I need to resend the message w/ a proper 10 digit number... Which I have in my address book, but then the phone will add an extra 1 to the #, making it 11 characters, and thus not sending messages.... I have looked through both phone and SMS options and have found nothing that helps.. I have turned off the country code in phone options, resent the SMS, and still had the same problem.  then I took the area code off and the same thing still happened. Please help b/c I cannot text my gf at the moment????!!!
    also, it adds a 1 to only certain phone numbers.  i can text almost everybody else just fine, apart from like 3-4 people.
    thanks in advance,

  • I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.
