Q: Someone said that this DS6251-3 VTech phone has a port for a headset but I don’t see it listed anywhere here. Can you Please show me where it says this? Thank you!

A: Hi - The headset jack on the VTech DS6251-3 can be found on the side of the cordless handset. The information can be found on the User's Manual under Headset Usage section. Hope this helps! ~VTech Support

Q: I purchased the Vtech DS6251-3.. I have 2 incoming lines through a phone jack. , it only recognizes 1 line and not both.. I have 2 identical phones set up same format that work fine. the latest one will not work for both lines. Any solution?

A: Shelly - We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the VTech DS6251-3. Make sure that you are using an RJ14 if your 2 lines are from the same telephone jack. The telephone system comes with 2 telephone line cord, use the black one to install the base to your jack. You may also test the base on the jack where the working phone is installed for isolation. If this does not help, please contact our Consumer Sales and Service Center between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-595-9511. Thank you, -VTech Support

Q: We have two lines in our office but one cord. The phone we are replacing rolled the 2nd call over to the second line. When I plug the cord into this phone’s port that says line 1/2 it doesn’t roll 2nd call from our 2nd line over. Can this be done?

A: Hi The VTech DS6251-2 is capable of rollover as long as you are subscribed to the service from your telephone service provider. For more details, please contact our Consumer Sales and Service Center between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-595-9511. Thank you, -VTech Support
