Our answering machine hasn't worked for quite some time.....let me explain: whenever someone calls, it rings 4 times like it's supposed to, and we have caller ID which always works, but then after the 4th time it pause for a second like it's about to turnover to the answering machine--but then it doesn't. It keeps ringing, and the caller ID goes blank for a sec and comes back up with 'NO DATA' and then it just keeps ringing. The answering machine never picks up. This happens no matter where we plug the phone in, and with ANY phone....so we've eliminated those possible problems. HELP!
btw we have an external modem----dunno if that affects anything....... please help! This has been going on for almost a year now and is very frustrating. thx! =]
