Only about half time will the electronic phones ring with a incoming call.Any thoughts or suggestions to correct this issue?

Re: Phone ringers
Do you have any old phones with real bells hooked up? If you do, disconnect them. The Telo does not have sufficient current capability to reliably ring them.
A phone with an electronic bell will usually have a REN number of 0.1 (It's on the phone's label) and will not have a problem with ringing.

I checked and was told that there were no booster to increase the ring voltage
Re: Phone ringers
All phones are electronic thinking of just cutting out the ringer inside one of the phones since it is just a convenience and can hear the other ringers.
Re: Phone ringers
Same problem but with only one of my three Ooma handsets. Most of the time it doesn't ring. Sometimes I can't pick up a call on it, sometimes I can. I have no other phones connected and I have checked the settings on this handset to make sure the ringer volume is on. Anything else to check before declaring the handset defective?
