telephone ringer repair

[aldago]

I have an AT&T slimline telephone whose ringer suddenly has a very low volume. I think the ringer is in the handset but I don't know how to get to it. Anyone have any ideas??

[hallerb]

did you try the volume control?

phones are so cheap your probably better off replacing it or adding another phone close by with a good ringer

Take out the ;plastic that covers the paper which is supposed to have that phone's phone number on it. There are probably a couple screws under that.

I lose track of phone names. I konw what a trimline is, made by Western Electric. How old is this slimline?

And would a woman rather be trim or slim?

Throw it away and get a new phone--something other than a slimline.

Good idea, buy an $8 phone and hook both to the phone line with a $1 splitter (check the local dollar store for the splitter.
