I had a TA308 do something like this ,ring 1 or 2 time and stop ringing the callers report that it sounded like there was someone there but they couldn't talk to anyone. this was an intermittent fault that only happened on weekends and first thing in the morning on week days
after a week of scratching my head I discovered that the Cordless phone(in the I/C ring grp)was set to answer when it was picked up from the charging cradle, the phone vibrated so much in the cradle that it was coming off the contacts and answering the call(fault was intermittent because it was used off the cradle on weekdays and put on charge after night switching to the answering machine.
My point is that you really need to look at all possible info when looking for Faults
