How does voice mail work?

you should be able too

"Genius Bar" at Apple Store; make appt.

I resolved the problem but I'm not 100% sure of how I did it. If it happens again I'll try it again. I left the answering machine OFF so the Voice Mail would take any messages. A friend phoned and left a message in the VOICE MAIL, I knew this because of the broken dial tone when I went to make a call. When I erased his message the 'New Voice Message' displayed on the handset disappeared. I figure a previous caller hung up just after the voice mail picked up. It was not long enough so it did not register in the voice mail but somehow registered on the GE phone. Since there wasn't anything registered in the VOICE MAIL to erase the message was 'stuck' on the handset display. As soon as there was a message registered in the VOICE MAIL that could be erased it also cleared the message on the handset.

As i mentioned, if it happens again I'll try it to see if it works, until then I am not going to tempt fate.

It's amazing what you can do when you read the right instruction book! Must remember to toss old manuals!

hi all you need to do is press 7 to delete. if you want to save them press 9 to fast forward to the next one prress the number sign #
thats worked on all the cell phones ive had hoped it works for you.

press "mute" key to access menu, press the up or down arrow key labeled "caller ID- volume" until you get to "handset setup", press the "mute" key again, press the down or up arrow until you have "defaultsetting" selected, press "mute" key, press "1", then press "mute" once more. At this point your handset will reset clearing the indicator for all the handsets. I've had to do this twice on my phones and it worked every time.

The short answer is no. The JX200 will work with an answering machine because it "listens in" when the answering machine picks up a call. It can't "listen in" to voice mail, because the voice mail is handled by your phone service.

You may be having a problem with your voice mail or phone system. Try turning the power off on the phone system and if the voice mail is an external part power that down as well. That would reset any locked up ports or lines. It will also disconnect any calls in progress.

If that does not solve the problem, try and figure out which phone system and voice mail system you have. The phone you have can work on a few different Panasonic systems.
