Just a quick note to say ‘Thanks’ Rob,

Saved me potentially hours of frustration with my BT Freestyle. Followed your instructions and all back working again within 60 seconds!

Thanks agan,

Anthony

perfect solution. many thanks. saved calling useless/expensive helplines or buying another device

Just brilliant….had given up and was on my way to buy new phones !!!…BIG THANKS

CHEERS !!

Very many thanks for this. I was on the point of throwing the hand set away.

Very many thanks for that. I was on the point of chucking the handset away.

Cheers. A nice easy solution to the problem

This also works on BT Freestyle XB2500. Many thanks Rob.

Worked and saved tons of issues

Cheers!

Fantastic! Both subsidiary sets had gone to ‘engaged’ mode,; I tried the ‘Find’ solution and it worked. saved me a lot of temper (and money).
Well done Rob!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Worked like a charm, and phone that’s been out of commission for ages is back in service. I’ve pasted your instructions into my owner’s manual. But why didn’t they include this in the handbook in the first place?

Best regards

George

Cheers Rob
Many Thanks Handset dead for weeks was going to bin it decided to google it as a last attempt before buying a new quad pack stumbled across your post.
Once again many thanks and kindest regards Colin

Thanks for this.
In fact for me it was not necessary to press the Find button, just powering off and on the base station was sufficient.
Simple and effective, but not in the user guide!

Brilliant, two of my three handsets had this problem and I was about to go out and but a new system. You have saved me lost of time and money.
Many thanks.

Top man, Rob!

First handset conked out weeks ago and second one went earlier today.

Was about to dump but fixed two minutes after following your advice!

Thanks again!!!

Thank you, absoloutly spot on!

Thanks Rob. My mum had this problem with one handset and your solution fixed it in less than a minute. I’ve earned brownie points by the score!.

Spot on – wish I’d looked earlier.

Absolutely great. God bless you for this. I am a seller and have had so many returns as handsets could not be registered but this has seriously saved me. I can’t be thankful enough. Many thanks.

Thanks, phone now fixed. No mention of the “not possible” message in the BT User Guide so you have saved the day.

Brilliant! So simple. Thanks!

Rob, in 2009 you posted a solution. 2014 that solution is still working for frustrated phone owners of BT Freestyle 750. thank you very very much!

Thank you! was ready to replace the whole thing July 2014.

Spot on! Cheers Rob. Save me having to go out & buy 2 new handsets as only 1 had the fault and they’re still really good handsets. Although have gone through several recharchable batteries but over 6 years mind. Good to know people out there sharing this info so we don’t make mistakes and throw stuff away 🙂

Magic – I spent ages trawling through 45 pages of the user’s manual without success. Your tip solved it in seconds – many thanks

Genius – well done, Rob! But how come it doesn’t mention this in the BT manual!!!

Wonderful – you are a saint. Why on earth was this not in the manual?

Thanks a lot – saved my ages trying endless resets etc. Regards Henry

Thanks a lot for your help, it’s been bugging me for the last two months, finally it worked. The BT website is rubbish, it does not give proper Solutions

Thanks- I have done this but it’s still saying ‘not possible’ – any ideas? thanks e

How do I reset my ansaphone date and time following a power failure?
