New message indicator

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.

Pressing the Voice Mail button only checks messages on the FIRST LINE. The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) lights of all lines. Check the icon next to your other line buttons. One should be an envelope. Press that Line Button, THEN press the Voice Mail button.

Yes, the was bothering me for some time. I think the indicator is a little green light that blinks in the extreme upper left hand portion of the phone...not on screen, above it....but the blinking light may indicate a missed call or a voice mail is present.

Try this. Go into your phone icon, press and hold '1' and listen to any open messages. Delete each. Next go into your Call Log and delete all call history. Now exit.There should be no green light flashing in the upper left hand corner of phone. You have just cleared everything.

Next call your phone but hang up before leaving a message. Note the blinking green light in the upper left hand corner apparently indicating you missed a call. Go into your Call Log. It will say one missed call. Exit the call log and note that the blinking light is now off. You have acknowleged the call in the call log so the light goes off when you exit.

Call the phone again. This time leave a message. Note the blinking light again. Go into your call log again. Note the missed call. It would be nice if there was an icon or something HERE that indicates if this call left a voice message....but there does not appear to be. Exit again. This time note that the light continues to blink even though you entered the call log and acknowleged the call. I believe it continues to blink because you have a voice message. Exit.

Go into the call log again. Delete the missed call from the call hsitory. Exit. The light still blinks, I believe still indicating a voice message.

Go to your phone icone. Press '1' to check messages, delete the message and exit. The blinking is now gone.

So it appears a blinking green light indicates a missed call. If it still blinks after exiting the call log, you have a voice message.

If someone figures something else out let me know because this stinks!

Most of the time your home phone service has a digital voice mail like your cell phone does. If the answering machine is set for an amount of rings that is too long the digital voice mail service will answer before your machine. The new cordless phone indicators do show messages on your digital voice mail as well as the answering machine. Depending on your home service, most of the time when you press talk and you hear a different non standard dial tone(mine pulses 3 times before going to solid dial tone) you have a digital message. You need to delete this message before the indicator light will stop flashing. Then set up you digital voice mail for a longer pickup time! This should get rid of this problem.

Hi,
Im pretty sure this means either your text or messgae inbox is full, and there a text/email waiting to come through.,
Delete some old messages and new ones may come flooding through!

Is this a new phone but with an old sim? This could indicate that there are messages left on the sim. Try one of the options below:

1. Go to Messages >>> Options >> SIM messages >> Mark/Unmark >> All >> Delete. That will delete all the messages saved on the SIM

OR

2. Try to put back the sim to your old phone and delete them from there. Once deleted, put it back to your NE71x and see if the blinking still exists.

Please let me know how this goes. Thank you for using FixYa.
