Questions and answers
Phone does not ring but I hear it on our fax machine. Set it to two rings so people can fax but still keeps ringing and ringing.
@Lenore Maionchi
To set the AT&T 1872 phone to ring twice for faxes while ensuring it still rings for incoming calls, follow these steps:
1. Set the number of rings to 2:
- Press the appropriate buttons to access the setting for number of rings.
- Select 2 rings.
2. Repeat the process for both lines if needed.
This allows the phone to ring twice before answering, which is suitable for receiving faxes and still alerts you to incoming calls.
