Increasing phone 'ringer' volume...
My parents were 'upgraded' to a digital landline some time ago (no broadband). They use cordless landline phones, but despite the ringer being as high as possible it is not loud enough! I was lookin...

I guess, for the price - if I can get one! - it might be worth a try.
I am also considering contacting VM directly on their behalf, as they can't be the only customers with hearing issues and maybe VM can provide a solution...
Just goes to show, 'new' (cordless) technology isn't necessarily better as there are plenty of fixed line phones on the market with 'loud' ringers for 'hard of hearing'!
Hi UKDJ,
Thanks for coming back to us on this.
I'm afraid we don't provide anything that will increase the volume of the ringer so it's not something we will be able to advise on.
The community can offer suggestions on third party devices though 😊
Thanks,
Good to know - if a somewhat poor service, to what must be quite a sizeable client base.
It's not poor service, it's just your technological understanding on how cordless phones work is inaccurate.
Virgin can send a signal to make the phone ring, they can't control your privately owned cordless handset volume.
It's a bit like buying a TV with really poor speakers and then calling sky for them to turn the volume up. Or buying a slow car and complaining to the BP petrol station that you want them to make your car faster!
