Everything on the phone works fine except it does not detect incoming calls., i.e. the phone will not ring on an incoming call. I am aware that in the UK and other parts or Europe, Australia and New Zealand the No 3 wire is used to carry the ring signal to the phone. However the cable provided with this phone only uses the middle two wires; the third wire is not used. I read on a web site what using a BT Master Socket would get my phone to ring. All this does in create the ring voltage on wire 3; which my phone does not use. I have read some information on phone circuits on the following site. http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/telephone_ringer.html Looking inside the telephone base unit I see that it contains a 470 uF capacitor to aid the ringing circuit inside the phone. Does anyone how I can get this phone to ring ? Regards Behzad [/quote]    Insert an Image File (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, ZIP, PNG) Check here to include your profile signature.
