    Ours used to do that all the time too and I was also under the impression that this was random line testing too?!! :confused:
    If you don't want to know my opinion, don't ask for it!
  • Our phone has a nightime mode where it doesn't ring this comes on automatically at a set time. Maybe yours has a similar feature, but instead of silence it just give a little bleep instead of a full ring? If you still have the instruction manual you could check that or have a fiddle with the settings in the phone.

    You may also want to check the troubleshooting section of the manual - maybe the series of beeps signifies a problem, like a different code for different problems.

    mine does the same - and no the others aren't ringing - the battery is charged. it is not meant to beep when fully charged either.

    i turn that phone off at night, and take it off the cradle. then can't work out how to turn it on when the others are ringing in the morning..:p

    maybe it's the phone telling you it's lonely.........:D

    thanks all.

    The phone is only 3 months old, so I hope the battery is not due for replacement.

    Our phone has done this - just a couple of blips most nights - since we've been on broadband. I've always assumed it's a line check.
