Selecting a new home phone

Hi,
I'm wondering if the community can suggest a phone that I can use form my home, I'm looking for the following feature
- Cordless
- Set of 4 handsets
- Can amplify sound (for hearing aid user / hard of hearing user)
- Can transfer calls between handsets (accept a call then move the call to another handset)
- Large buttons with light for night time use
- Answer machine
If anyone knows of a phone that fits I would be grateful to know
thanks

No, it is not a new connection. I recently purchased this property. I already connect my phone and I have a dial tone, however the phone is not able to call someone or receive incoming calls.

Imvu has taken firefox program If you see IMVU do not click on it. It also embeds internet explorer. Deleting it in programs link areas no help. It erases controls for establishing or restoring programs. Example, you cannot select a new home page.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried starting IE using the =nohome =extoff options, but this did not help any.
Next I went into safe mode with networking and started IE normally and this worked fine. First I checked the version. I have IE 11. Next I disabled the MSN home page.
I restated in normal mode. I should mention that Windows 7 Pro insisted on installing even more updates.
I tried starting IE normally and the problem persisted.
I then tried starting it with the -nohome -extoff parameters and this got me in. No error.
Next I entered Alt V and the View menu appeared. I then pressed the p key and the error once again presented itself. What is the p for?
Next I opened the Internet options dialog and went to the advanced tab. I noticed that the option Use Software Rendering instead of GPU rendering was unticked (unchecked) so I checked it. I exited the dialog and reentered IE. It went in ok, displaying the
MSN and Bing thumbmails for the pages. I clicked on MSN and the page presented itself fine.
I am going to restart Window and try to enter IE again just to see if the problem has been resolved.
Edit: I restarted Windows 7 and it looks like the fix stuck. Looking good! Thanks for your orientation. Toggling the video acceleration t ON was the fix. Again thanks and regards. Saga
I still have no idea what broke IE. Saga

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy. Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks. I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something. I am so frustrated! I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible. I have had three of these phones replaced. I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there. To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful. You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers. They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT. As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data. You don't follow up and solve the issues. Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon. Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere. I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever. WOW! That's pitiful! You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

Trying to pair my new Iphone4 with my GE21518 Bluetooth Home Gateway         es it and connects for 1/2 second and then switches to not connected. Also pairing with a Motorola 505 car unit and that seems OK. GE unit allows me to have cell be home phone.

I use my cell as my home phone and the GE Gateway worked fine with my old LG flip phone.   I have been unable to get the IPhone 4 to connect.
It sees the GE21518 and connects for 1/2 second but then goes to not connected. I have a Motorolla T505 in the car as a hands free Bluetooth and that seems to be working OK. Anyone have experience with the GE Gateway or other suggestions. Thanks!

Why is my Z10 sending Text Messages to my Contact's Home phone numbers over their Mobile?

I send Text Messages as Chats (sent to multiple recipients which I can then later send subsequent messages to) because as far as I know there isn't a way to setup a Distribution Group with the Z10.
When I select Compose, and then select a Contact, it is selecting some Home phone numbers instead of their Mobile. WHY?
Any help would be appreciated!

Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out.

Hello KeyGroupGJ!
Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you.

I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes. It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered. My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again. Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account. I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again. i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again. Can someone please help me!! Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore.. And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it I am so good with technology and this has me stumped please help

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I manuLly put my contacts in my new I phone 4s but can not find them all it only gives me an option of I cloud or Facebook contacts to show n some of my contacts are not either

i manually saved my contacts from my old phone to my new I phone 4s some with 1st n last name some with just a 1st name the only options my I phone is giving me is to show either contacts from I cloud or face boo for both I have tried using the show all contacts option and just Facebook or just I cloud and I can't find some of my contacts I am very new to using an I phone but I'm told there is no SIM card with the I phone is it possible they are saved somewhere else please help I have already deleted contacts from my old phone as I was saving them to new 1 thinking they were saved! i had to select IOS .8 so I could post but I'm not exactly sure what that even means or if it is what I have I just know I have an I phone 4s

Need copper drop line installed at a new home I bought.

I bought a new house a little while back and inquired in email if my DSL would work through FIOS. I was informed it wouldn't but to call their service center and I would most likely be offered a deal, etc. I call and get an unfriendly\unhelpful rep. The price she offers me is still more than double of what I currently pay. I send the below email:
==========================================
Hello,
Let me start by saying that I have been a Verizon customer with the same phone number since I was about 18 years old....I am now 44. I've only had to call Verizon a couple of times during that time frame and when I did, found them to be friendly and helpful.
Recently however I bought a new house and wanted my DSL transferred over to my new property. I'm being told that I cannot do this as the previous owners had FIOS installed there. It seems while checking into things online that the copper drop wire can indeed be replaced back if you want to go back and forth arguing with Verizon for three months or more. I even saw an article online from a Verizon rep stating that he doesn't see why someone would want to go back to copper but if someone bought a new home and wanted the copper line put back in, that they would do so at no charge. So I am not sure why I was told this cannot be done previously.
Anyhow, I called a Verizon rep last Wednesday morning around 10:30am. I wish I would have written her name down and I could be mistaken but I think she might have said her name was Samantha? Either way, I thought she would be more than willing to work with me but I did not find her very friendly or helpful at all. Verizon is asking me to get FIOS....which I DO NOT want. If you are going to refuse to re-run the copper line at my new property then I ask that you at least grant me FIOS service for the contract I have for my DSL. The women I spoke with said the bottom of the rung FIOS speed would cost me (edited)! That's outrageous! That's more than double of what I am paying now for something that I don't even want. I am a single man and am the only one using my internet connection. I just basically check email, Facebook, pay some bills online and watch a few YouTube videos. That's all. I find the speed of my DSL to be perfectly acceptable. I see no reason why Version cannot give me their slowest speed FIOS for the price of what I currently pay. I've been a dedicated customer for over 25 years and have been happy with my service until now. I feel like my business throughout the years has been unappreciated and for the person on the phone I spoke with, they didn't seem to care at all.
So in closing....I'm willing to forgo arguing about have the copper drop wire put in if Verizon would be kind enough to honor my current DSL contract with them and put me on their slowest FIOS speed for the same price. It seems fair to me and like a good compromise to keep a long term customer happy. Thank you for your time and concern in this matter.
=============================================
I get a relpy back from a woman called Michelle. She tells me she spoke to her supervisor and gives me some price plans. The amount deal she gives me is more than what I was told previously and is more than an actual mailing (which I still have) that included both phone with internet! I'm then told I should call a service number and ask to speak to a supervisor. I tell her that I already called this number and got no where. She then says she will have a supervisor call me. I inform her that I work third shift, keep an odd sleep pattern which often means sleeping during the day and that I would prefer to handle this through email as it all seems simple enough to me. She tells me that she forwarded my email to a supervisor and they will contact me through email soon. I patiently wait two or three days and no reply. I email again and Michelle responds back with the standard textbook replies and tells me a supervisor will call me in 24-48 hours. I have to go through the whole process again on how I prefer to handle this in email this way we can both get back to one another at both our convience. For me personally, I don't have 24-48 hours waiting for someone to call me, nor do I want to be on the hold for a half hour and then arguing for another half hour or more. So here I am, for the second time....days after I was told that a supervisor would email me in regards to my problem but yet I have still heard nothing.
It's not like I chose FIOS myself and now want to go back or anything. I merely bought a new house in which the previous owners wanted FIOS there....not ME. I see no reason why they cannot install the copper drop wire back or at the very least....give me FIOS for the price of my current DSL plan or at least something VERY comparible. I am totally put off that they would treat such a long, good standing customer so non-chalantly. While I would rather stay with Verizon, there are other options out there and I will pursue them if they continue to turn a blind eye to my problem. You would think that they would want to keep me as a voice\DSL customer (even if it is for a lower contract price) rather then lose me as a customer all together. Should I decide to cancel my Verizon I most certainly will file complaints through the appropriate channels, contact my local TV "On Your Side" team and possibly go as far as to consider small claims court for not honoring my current contract at my new residence\refusing to install the copper drop wire back. If Verizon truly does care about it's customers then I would love nothing more then to find someone willing to promptly help me in my situation. Thank you.

Be sure to reset your modem whenever you change what connects to it. Power it down.
Three days ago I went in to a bestbuy and bought a new 2013 Airport Express.
Is my Extreme a bad unit?
Did you purchase an 802.11n Express or an 802.11ac Extreme?
Either way, update its firmware:
AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4
or
AirPort Base Station and AirPort Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.7.1
respectively.
If it's still slow, return it. It's not normal.
Buy directly from Apple. The price is exactly the same and shipping is free.

HP Officejet Pro 8600-a: Can't Fax after converting to Verizon Home Phone

Can anyone provide me with a solution?
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 All In One worked just perfectly prior to converting our home telephone from AT&T/Frontier to Verizon Home phone service.
Now, I can't send nor receive a fax. What I've read on the "net", it appears I will need to junk my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 and buy a new unit compatible with Verizon Home phone service. It would be a shame to junk a unit that is not even 1 year old.
My hope is someone here has come across a solution!
Thank you for your help.

Thank you all for your input.
Please understand I did not rush into making this Home Phone change to Verizon. I met with the same Verizon "agent" 3 separate days at 3 separate times. Together we went over point-by-point all of my requirements. We did cover faxing capabilities. Still I was sold a product that didn't fit my basic needs.
Hopefully, I am still within my window to cancel.
I need to be able to fax, so I have a lot of work to do to straighten this mess out.
Thanks again!

220v skype home phone?

I currently live in Europe and just ordered the 31591GE1 phone for my house. There was mixed data on if the voltage transformer/adaptor would operate on 220V. Now that I have received it, I can clearly read it is 110v only. Is there a Skype cordless home phone that is 220v ready and is comperable to the 31591GE1?

You cannot port your existing phone number to Skype. Skype does not participate in those programs. Since you mentioned Canada, that adds another complication - Skype does not offer Online Numbers in Canada, due to a Canadian requirement that anyone providing telephone service with Canadian telephone numbers must be able to connect callers to 911 (Skype does not connect callers to emergency-services numbers like 911 in Canada and the USA, 999 in the UK, 000 in Australia, etc.).
There is an alternative that might work for you. You would still get a new number, but it would make use of Skype To Go - the way you can access your Skype services from a telephone, instead of a computer or other device connected to the Internet.

New home but no apparent VZ internet services

I checked on the Verizon site to see if I can purchase internet services at my new home. Apparently, I can't (no internet service in the area).
What's strange is that there's a DSL box mounted on the outside of my home with 'Verizon' stamped onto it.
The home is 4 yrs old, so I can understand if services haven't been made available yet...but what's the deal with the DSL box already mounted. Pre-staging?

I went through a similar issue. On-line Verizon's web site said DSL was not available at my address. I called repair after a tree took out our phone line and got to talking with the repair man. When I asked him about DSL here, he thought for a moment and then said yes we should be able to get DSL. A telephone call to Verizon got our DSL ordered and installed with no problem.
We're about 12 miles from the city associated with our exchange. However there is a remote switch close to our location. My thought is that the Verizon web site looks at your location and the distance to the city associated with your exchange to determine if DSL is available at your address. It doesn't seem to take into account such things as remote switches. IMHO.
