Message waiting indicator off on m3904 - Nortel Lands Phones

Message Waiting Indicator Your phone's message waiting indicator is either a light or special tone that alerts you when you have voice mail.

Occasionally, the message waiting indicator may be out of sync with your mailbox. In that case, the indicator light or tone is ON but there are no messages waiting, or the indicator light or tone is OFF when there are new messages waiting.

To get the message indicator back in sync

1. Save or delete all new messages
2. Hang up.
3. If the message indicator does not go out or stop within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact Verizon.
4. If the message indicator does go out or stop, call your own number and leave a message
5. Hang up and wait
6. If the indicator light or tone does not come on within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact the vender.

This is dependent on you being able to access your voicemail mailbox (a mailbox has been setup for you by the administrator and you know the codes to login to your mailbox). Go to your voicemail which should be:

1. press the message key.
2. Enter your mailbox number, then press #
3. Enter your password, then press #. (if you don't know this then you will have to contact the administrator for the telephone system)

When logged into this:

1. press 82.
2. Press 1 for external greeting, 2 for internal greeting, 3 for temporary greeting, or 9 for Personal Verification (spoken name)
3. Press 5 to record then wait for tone.
4. Press # to end recording
5. Press 2 to listen to the greeting
6. Press 76 then 5 to delete the greeting and re-record it.
7. Press 4 to return to your messages.

You need to call your office manager, they will call in a tech to program the feature in the phone system for your ext.
Meantime try calling X7000 , most sites use that DN.

There is another reason you are having the message waiting indicator besides having a message waiting, it also means the phones messages are full and some messages need to be deleted. Once you have deleted some messages, then you will be able know if you have any message waiting or its just a symbol to show that your message is full.
Hope this information helped

The DN may not be configured to allow forwarding to an outside line for security reasons. I think the default is 4 digits. You will need to talk to whomever programs your switch and ask them to allow this feature.

This feature is country dependent and may not
appear in some countries.
If you have subscribed to the voicemail service
from your local service provider, icon turns
on when you have a new message in your
mailbox. After you have accessed to all the new
messages, icon will turn off automatically. If
you find that the message waiting indication
cannot be turned off by the network, you can
still turn off the message waiting indication with
your phone by the following step :

In idle mode, if voice mail waiting icon is on,
long press the redial key to turn off the voice mail waiting
icon.
Once you choose to delete the message waiting
indication, all the other handsets registered to
the same base station will turn off the message
waiting indication accordingly.

There is no History button that I know of ~ on the system...

But - the message waiting indicator is not working?
Ok, try this to fix the message waiting... leave a voicemail for yourself or get someone to leave a message. FEATURE 1 and your extension...

-> if the light is Not flashing try FEATURE #806 this shuts off static time and date, for some reason this can shut off the message waiting indicator.

I have a jwin jt-p590 and I have no idea how to use the voicemail/answer machine it's equipped with. Is there some sort of button scheme I'm supposed to press. I threw away the manual to it. Sorry I don't have an answer for your problem, but you seem pretty witty from the answers I saw you give to other ppl. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out.
