New service may be interupting your phone answering machine with a digital one provided by them. Call your number to verify what system is answering your calls for you. Speak to your phone service provider for further clarification
Verify you do not have old messages on the the system. After the system plays all new messages, press Play/Stop again or from the handset Select 2:Play.If you find messages, delete them during or after they play.
After you listen to your messages, the voice message icon turns off. If it doesn't or if you can not receive messages, you should try to reset it: With the phone in standby, open the menu and select Global Setup; select VMWI Reset, then select Yes.
Make sure the Record Time is not set to Announce Only.
"The answering machine is off. Please leave a message" (sic) This doesn't make sense.... how can one leave a message if the answering machine is OFF! Unless it goes to a voicemail etc? It's just not possible?
I suggest that you use your manual, and reset up your system again, perform a Factory Reset and then set up what you need to do again, this will clear any erroneous data that maybe causing any problems.
Whats seems to be happening is that the default "Voice" is being activated instead of the recorded message? I think you need to do it again.
After you have done this, record your message and set the answering machine to ON. Then test it from another phone.
NOTE sometimes with answering machines, if they ring more than a certain number of times, without being answered, the AP may switch OFF, ON or indeed do "Other" functions" that may be assigned, so ensure that this "Feature' isn't active or enabled or whatever.
On the phone not ringing, just push the volume up button while the phone is not in use, that should adjust the ringer volume. As for the message saying that calls are being routed to an automatic message sertvice, that sounds like a voice mail offering from your service provider, not the phone. Uniden phones have a default greeting that says "Hello, no one is availible to take your call, please leave a message after the tone" Contact your service provider and find out if you have voice mail service on your line. If you do and want to use the answering machine on your phone, you will need the service provider to allow for more rings before the voice mail service takes the call.
The answering machine is most likely referring to the other mail boxes. if a caller presses 1 or 2 they record in the other mail boxes.On the machine you will see an envelope with a 1 or a 2 next to the envelope. Press and hold one of these mail boxes and when the messages are played press del to delete each message as it plays. Do this for each mail box. Have this answering machine and have experienced this problem.
It depend on what provider you are with. If its Vodafone Ireland perhance all you have to do is dial 172 and follow instructions. call you provider and they will give you the self service no. to follow for your relevant network.
I have model no. 1188 bellsouth digital answering machine. If you have to leave a message, the message I recorded is no longer there, there is a generic message saying please record your message. How do I go back and record my voice with my message. I cannot find my original manual.
