Your phone line is dead

SOURCE: Getting 'busy signals and line in use message' on my phone.

the "line in use" indicates that there is not enough current on your line, either there is a broken wire and the phone is not getting any current, or there is a short on your line reducing the current on your line.

you should unplug your phone and check with a diffrent phone to see if there is any dial tone on the jack that you have a problem with... if everything is good with a diffrent phone then it is likely that the trouble is your phone, if the trouble still exists, bring a corded phone to the NID outside of your home, and test if there is dial tone there, and that you can make and receive calls... if the trouble goes away, they you need to troubleshoot further inside your home, if the trouble still exists, then you have a trouble outside that your local phone company needs to take care of, and you should contact them so that they can make the repairs..

SOURCE: new vtech phone model cs6229-3 headset keeps saying line in use

These phones look at the voltage on the line to determine if the line is in use.

Do you have any devices on the line that get power from the phone line? If so, they may be loading down the phone line causing this issue. If you have these types of devices on your line, try disconnecting those devices and see if the problem goes away.

Otherwise, your phone line may be defective. You may need to contact your phone company to get the problem resolved.

SOURCE: my vtech phones show NO LINE; MY OTHER PHONE WORKS

More than likely the phones base station (transmitter) is defective, this is a common failure on Vtech cordless phones, i have owned two and both failed the for the same reason. I also see this problem posted often for Vtech phones.

SOURCE: VTech 2 phones simply stopped working simultaneously with messages too far from base, Out of range I thought the line was dead but no, it is the two phones Help modelCS6719-2

Either the batteries are failing or the handsets need to be re linked to the base.. Check the instruction manual

I cannot get both lines on my Vtech6151 phone system that I bought for the office. We have a jack with one line but both are in there is that called a chase jack?

It sounds like you are describing an RJ14 jack as opposed to an RJ11.

The Vtech comes with 2 cords. 1 only has 2 pins and the other has 4.

If you indeed have both lines on 1 wall jack, use the 4 pin cord and plug it into the Vtech jack marked 1+2.


The alternative is using 1 RJ11's each with 1 number and use 1 cord for each line.

Retrieve message remotely

The VTech 6041 isn't an answering machine. If you have a separate answering machine connected to your phone line, please consult its documentation. If you're subscribed to a voicemail system provided by your telephone company, please contact them for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Alternatively, if you do have an answering machine connected to your phone, reply to this post and specify the make and model of your answering machine.

My Vtech detct 6.0 is displaying a No line message. I tried moving it to a jack that I know is working but it still has the same message. There is no dial tone and no incoming calls.

The battery detect circuit of the cordless phone has failed. "Battery" is the 24VDC signal
sent by the CO (Central Office) to each telephone that goes off-hook.
Fix: get the phone serviced (hopefully under warranty), or replace.

We have a 5.8 ghz vtech phone with answering machine. where the clock display is - there is an A. what does that mean?

That means your system is set to "announce" mode, where it plays an outgoing announcement but does not record any incoming messages. The alternative is "record" mode, which plays an outgoing message and then records the incoming message.
Since you didn't specify the model of your VTech system, I can only direct you to enter it into the search box here and download a copy of the manual.
