Phone time update BST

Mar 29, 2020 Last reply: 6 years ago 8 Replies

For all of you with a landline phone which needs the time and date, where it is an hour behind this morning - just try giving it a quick ring it from your mobile. It may correct the time automatically to BST without needing your help.


As I cannot see the display it could be on Mars time for all I care. I wonder what the answering machine is up to? Brian

No its got no display. There is aa menu option in the audio menu to set year date and time but I don't know if you just hit next on the year etc if it will c*ck it up! Brian

why does my phone need to have the correct time?

So on its Call Log it displays the correct time stamp. However, I think such phones update their clock from the time data that is sent with the ring signal, so there's never any need to take any action. I don't on mine, it's still on GMT, but it won't be long before it's updated by a spam call.

For its call log.

Why bother. Just dial 17070 and choose option 1, Ringback.
