[Electronics-Talk] [EXTERNAL] phone with caller ID

Thu Feb 25 03:49:34 UTC 2016

There, as far as I know is no spinning wheel slider on myh phone. I'll have Sarah, my fiancé check to see if there is something of a visual type of spinning wheel or slider. The only type of volume control is a big round button that looks like an up & down arrow. I'm not even sure if there is any kind of a menue on the phone. All I know is the phone was (I believe) was bought @ Best Buy for $60.00.

Sorry Rob,
In line that was a poor choice of words on my part. It's not a setting actually on my phone it's a slider and on some phones it's a spinning wheel. So if you look around the edges of your phone there should be something that turns the volume up and down or even off. Good luck hope this works.

Sent using dictation.  sometimes it works and sometimes the mistakes can be funny.  please forgive anything in between.

My fiancé checked and it doesn't look like there are any different ringers.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Rob,

with all due respect, have you checked the ringer setting?

You would think that someone would come up with a landline phone that would talk inableing us to set everything up. I have a Panasonic phone where the ringer is so soft that I can hardly hear it. No, I'm not hard of hearing.

We sure can.

On a real note, where can I find the Verizon digital line/FiOS codes, e.g.
the code for blocking callers who have no ID. Thanks.--Matthew Chao
