[SIRCOOKS]

Did you only get the phone-set, or did you allso get the base-unit ?

btw: It can help if you spesify what country you are trying to use it in

the phone is a bt freestyle 2200 digital cordless telephone i got the phone and the base unit, and im trying to use it in the bahamas....everything we use is U.S.A standard

Hmmm ....
I don't know that phone-set,
but I recall some problems we had when installing a Motorola modem in the Norwegian office in the UN building.
It was able to recieve calls, but not initiate them (or vice-versa), and according to the spesification, Motorola made a model for Europe and another model for USA,
since the telco's was incompatible.

You better look for the manufacturers homepage, to see if they have any info,
but I'm afraid your out of luck ....


btw:
What Voltage is it running on (110/220/multi) ?

Ahhh.. Digital?

Are you using a Digial Phone on an anaglog signal?

Something that is plagueing my parents with their phone system, the power goes out, and the phone lines literally go down. I've tried that too, and I just got silence on the line, take the phone off the line, your frying it.

Digital Phones aren't compatible with that sort of voltage (the V from the CO {on/off hook}

help? or have I gone on another one of my lil tangents.
