A:Answer6 rings is the maximum for VTech phones. Each ring cycle is approximately 6 seconds, so that gives you more than 30 seconds to view Caller ID and answer the call if you so choose. The beauty of a cordless phone system is having a cordless handset close to you, so you don't necessarily have to run to answer a call. Thanks!
A:AnswerHeather - The the actual operating range of the VTech DS6151 may vary depending on the environmental conditions and other interferences such as walls, doors and other obstructions. Adding cordless handsets to the system will not extend the range. For more details, you can contact our Customer Support at 1-800-595-9511. We are open from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Mondays through Fridays.
