Hey guys and girls,

I don't know the produce for this and before you ask I checked every setting underneath the phone. It's really annoying as you enjoy to wait subsequent to the phone for it to ring again and pick it up real promptly. Some help please?

99% it is any a defective phone, or wet jack....

disconnect one phone at a time, and use your cell to call for into your line...
Well it could be a prank caller but if this is taking place every time, you may have an answering contrivance set up to turn on after one ring, the way to fix this is to mess around beside your phone. with my matured phone it was something approaching turning the machine on after you hear x rings and i guess it remembers that. I don't know if this is duplicate thing, but I have 5 instances last week where on earth I had one ring, and go to answer the phone and the connection be cut. I got the # past its sell-by date caller ID and call it and the recording was" the number you dialed is no longer contained by service"; then I googled the # and found that this number is assigned to telemarketing groups calling from India. When I down the # on donotcall.gov, the calls stopped. I don't know if that be coincidental, or if someone did something.

Also, if the phone company is doing loop tests your phone may ring solely once.
very simple explanation..your phone is trippin the ring..which is a short within one of your jacks or a faulty phone..your jacks are connected to inside wires which spider network thru your house from one jack to the next if..one of the jacks is dusty or green ..the metal tines inside will cause contact and trip the ring...take adjectives phones off the jacks ..including computer modems ..and find one jack...bring in sure its clean..blow the dust out..and plug a phone within and call yourself (from cell)..if it still trips..consequently its definatly a jack problem..if it rings thru..3 or 5 times then its a defective phone or modem..good luck..
The telephone chain uses -48 volts DC for talkpath while the ringer in the phone uses 90 volts AC. Inside your mobile, a capacitor is placed across the telephone circuit contained by series with the ringer. Capacitors will block DC voltage but allow AC voltage to surpass. When 90 volts ringing voltage is sent down the line, the capacitor allows the voltage to overrun through the ringer circuit and rings the bell/warbler while still keeping the -48 volt DC talkpath circuit open. Once you pick up the phone you short the DC circuit creating the talkpath and stopping the ringer. If your ringing capacitor is inconsistent it could be shorting your -48 volt talkpath circuit after one ring. Try removing all phones and plugging them within one at a time and call them. Call from a cell phone or other house line to see if respectively phone continues to ring or ring trips after one ring. You may find it is one phone with a blemished ringer capacitor.
