Bob, Joe made a good point (from his Blackberry so I don't think it got to the list so I'm quoting it here). Check all the vm ports. What vm do they have, a TVS50 with 2 ports, or something larger with 4 ports? if port 3 for example, is bad or disconnected, then every third simultaneous call would not be picked up by the vm. In that case, though, they should still hear the incoming call ring prior to going to voicemail, so it may not apply for you. cp > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Patterson <[email protected]> > > Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 23:49:12 > To: Bob p...@nle<[email protected]> > Cc: KXT Help Forum<[email protected]> > Subject: Re: KX-T: Ringing without ringing? > > > Bob, > > One thing to check is the rollover or hunt capability. > I've seen where calls were rolling over improperly or to a number that > was not even present in their list.
