Where is feature 981 on nortel phone - NorStar T7316E Corded Phone

SOURCE: Feature 981 is displayed as an inactive feature and not available

Try powering off the voicemail system and and then power it on again. I've had it happen many times that after a power failure they just don't boot up correctly.

SOURCE: I have a nortel norstar M7310 phone. we have used

Feature #85 (Note #FEATURE CODE deactivates that feature code)

SOURCE: I have nortel phone system, voicemail is not working at all and feature 981, 983, 985 all say inactive feature--how do I reactive the voicemail??

Dear Annabelle,
Is the machine call pilot 100 or 150.if 100 the 2 leds in your left hand side should be on also in your right hand side the middle led should be on same for 150 the 4 leds in your left hand side should be on.1) Try to unplug the power cable and re-connect it again.2) Make sure that the the output telephone cable [100 (2 pair) or 150 (4 pair)] depends on the device comming from the call pilot to the Nortel PABX connected properly from both sides. dont hesitate to contact me if you are facing any doubt.Goodluck and Kind Regards;
