We just changed phone service. This phone has been used on old service but just to call and answer, now it has caller ID and a voice mail,which I can't retreve, I find nothing in the User's Guide to tell me how.Would like to delet the voice mail as I have an answering machine that I like. If that is not possible would like to add # of rings before it activates.

I also had this problem. I have my phone thru Charter. It seems that you may need to call your telephone support (Comcast or whoever) and set up your service for voicemail. You may need to make up a pin number for this. I called Charter telephone service and the guy walked me thru the steps I needed to get set up..
This solved the problem for me.

change how many rings your voicemail picks up in or cancel it.
set your answering machine to less rings than your voicemail.

the voicemail ring count has to be setup on your phone line thru your voicemail menu,and has nothing to do with the answering machine. if you don't want the answering machine to pickup, just shut it off. follow the prompt's for your voicemail settings, there you'll be able to set the amount of rings you want.
hope this helps.

what you do is call your own phone number it will tell you to set up a voicemail account and make a 4 digit pin ....once that is made you can listen to the prompts to listen to your voicemail and erase the messege and the phone will get back to its normal self hope this helps

You do not have to cancel the phone company voice mail service. You need to change the number of rings the phone uses to answer the voice mail.
For example, if the telephone company voice mail answers if 4 rings, set the telephone answering machine to answer in 3 rings or less.
Good luck.
