<!-- from fixya rte -->Phone rings once and gets forwarded - Panasonic KX-TG2431 Cordless Phone

Hello Lila Dempsey,

We recently experienced CALL-OUT issues in our dialing
area... BECAUSE AT&T started "enforcing" 10 digit dialing.

- Try dialing the ENTIRE NUMBER...

- ELSE dial 611 and tell the ANSWERER to move
their ACOUSTIC tube somewhere in the vicinity
of the FRONT of their face (possibly enabling TALK).


Inbound calls (to you):
The rings "ONCE" sounds like your calls are "FORWARDED"...
(to me: USA Custom Calling Feature)...

That single RING is called "RING SPLASH" ... to remind
us to UNFORWARD the phone ...

Suggestion...

Call your number YOURSELF and ask the ANSWERER
if they have any MESSAGES for you (I'm just saying).

In the USA dial Star seven - three ( *73 ) to cancel
Call Forwarding.

Hope this helps

To program a button to forward on Norstar (if do daily)
Feature * 1
Press spare button
Enter the * code, enter a few pasuses (Feature 78), enter the outside phone number.
i.e *88PPPXXX-XXXX

To program a canel button:
Feature * 1
Press spare button
Enter the * code

Most likely NOT your phone system (anonymous)

Neither is it likely accidental...

What it sounds like you are getting is a "ring splash"

It is a token ring to let you know a call was forwarded...

My best suggestion would be to call YOUR OWN
number and find out who has been getting your call...

Or at least what kind of TREATMENT your callers have been getting...

Since this is a GLOBAL SITE... I would suggest you consult
your service PROVIDER.. for the appropriate enable & cancel CALL FORWARDING.

BELL-SYSTEM Codes to invoke and cancel

Codes: *72 and *73: respectively

Forward... *72 = ("star, seven, two")
*72 (wait a second dial tone) dial tone + (forward number)...
If the call is answered the FORWARD is complete...
(confirmation)

Else
Repeat the SAME dialing PROCESS
(OK: indicated by two stutter dial tones followed by dial tone).
((confirmation)).

Cancel FORWARD...
*73: To CANCEL forwarding... *73 = ("star, seven, three")

(again OK... Success is indicated by two stutter dial tones followed by dial tone (yet another confirmation))...

Hope this helps...

Is there a button with a light on it? Forwarding or do not disturb might be on.

To remove forwarding, on that phone, press FEATURE 11 16 16

that sends all calls back to the station instead of voicemail.

Check out the instructions for setting forwarding no answer. *7104 xxx # sets the forward and the time it requires to forward is settable in the *713 ss where ss is the number of seconds from 00-99.
A ring cycle is 6 seconds, so 24 would be about 4 rings. Once you set forwarding, you really don't have to cancel it, as even if someone is on the phone, the call waiting and display tell you who is calling and you have the timer time answer or ignore the call.

This is a symptom of a feature that has been activated. It could be the call is forwarded, it could be the voice mail is programmed to pick up on the 1st ring. On some systems ext's can be programmed to ring elsewhere after a set number of rings. The do not disturbe feature could be activated. If it is an outside line, call it from your cell and see what you get (voice mail-continious ring-another ext etc.) Find out if it does it on an in houes intercom call. Look for a DND button the phone...is it lit up? Does the display show calls forwarded or DND? Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, the setting is controlled by your mobile service provider. You will need to ring them and get them to extend the time which it will ring before going to your voicemail. Another option is to totally disable the voicemail function. On your blackberry, enter the phone screen, then press the blackberry logo button to open the menu then select options. Once in the options, select the call forwarding option. Change all settings to "do not forward". Please rate this solution if it helps. Thanks

to forward calls...go to your phone service providers website and help section for complete instructions...
with most companies simply pick up the phone... wait for dial tone... press *72 wait for 2 beeps and enter the number (area code first) that you would like it to forward to...once you enter the number wait for the line to ring... once it rings and is answered you are all set!
if it doesnt ring or is in use.. try again within two minutes...you should hear two short rings if it is activated...
to deactivate call forwarding...
pick up the phone (in the office)
wait for dial tone and dial *73 or #73
you will hear two short beeps... it is then off..

You will have to have the admin lengthen the voicemail answer time, i would add another 15-20 seconds.....but this will make all calls ring your phone longer before going to vociemail

Sounds like you have either send all calls (SAC) enabled or your station is call forwarded to voicemail.

Disabling send all calls or call forward (as applicable) will solve the problem.
