QuestionWe are unable to delete the answering service message That says delete the message after the beep. Can you help.
Asked 4 years ago by Barbra.
- Answer Barbra - We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the VTech DS6151. Like many electronic devices, a system reboot may resolve the issue. You can try rebooting your phone system by disconnecting the power from the telephone base then unplugging the batteries on the cordless handsets for a minute. Reconnect and then try deleting the outgoing announcement of the answering machine. If this does not help, please contact VTech Customer Support for further assistance at 1-800-595-9511. We are open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM PST, Mondays through Fridays. When calling, please have your model number handy: DS6151. Thank you! - VTech Support

QuestionDoes this phone have multiple jacks? In addition to electrical, I also need to be able to plug in 2 phone line jacks.
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, The telephone base of the VTech DS6151 has 2 line ports labeled as L1/L2 and L2. You use both line ports if you have 2 lines coming out of separate jacks. For 2 lines from 1 jack, you just have to connect an RJ14 going to the L1/L2 port. For further questions, you can contact our Consumer Sales and Service Center between the hours of 9:00AM to 3:00PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-595-9511. Thank you! - VTech Support

QuestionDoes the phone have the ability for the answering machine to kick on when I am using the phone as it is not working on mine.
Asked 4 years ago by Doreen.
- Answer Yes , just tried it, and the answering machine did answer after the set amount of rings. However, it answered with the preset message and not our custom recorded message .Make sure you don;t have the message system to answer after 8 rings. That's a lot of rings. Ours is set to 4.

Press ▼ to choose Line 1, Line 2 or Lines 1&2. Then press the SELECT softkey. 5. Press ▼ or ▲ to adjust the ringer volume or press the OFF softkey to turn off the ringer. A sample of each ringer volume plays as you scroll through the choices. 6. Press the SET softkey to confirm or press OFF to exit to the previous menu. On the telephone base: 1. Press the MENU softkey when the telephone base is not in use. 2. Press ▼/CID to select Ringers, then press the SELECT softkey. 3. Press the SELECT softkey to select Ringer volume. 4.
