It's so frustrating as i have to take the other phone round the house with me now if i need to make a call! nevermind, i will see how it goes, maybe i need a new phone altogether, as i have noticed the power in the the phone doesn't hold for as long as it should do, Thanks anyway, Jane.

If it is the batteries then you could try testing the batteries in the working phone and transfer them over to the one that isn't. I have these set of phones but I do not use both bases and I usually charge one phone whilst the other is out on standby and I alternate between the two until they need charging again, doing this I believe ensures that the batteries rechargeable life is extended and that sufficient standby time whilst off charge, is maintained.
