How to turn off the voice mail? Answering machine THanks

SOURCE: "new voice mail" display

call your phone service and have them disconnect the voice mail and if they cant just remove that have them set there rings at like 9 since most phones only have up to 5 rings for the machine to answer.you will have to use there voice mail service to hear your message and then delete it but should be good after that. i have comcast and they said it would take 3 days to deactivate voice mail but told me how to get there so i can get rid of that flashing light, hope this helps you

SOURCE: I have a ge dect 6.0 and it flashes a blue light

Try pressing the message button and see where is rings to. If this is on a phone system the call back feature got turned on by someone call that phone while it was in use. By pressing the message button that ext. will ring...answer it and then the light will stop blinking. Also note this can be set multiple times. Another way is if this is on a digital KSU enter the feature clear code *790 that will also clear message light.

If this is one of the consumer line phones the phone company is sending a signal that the voicemail box they are providing has messages. You will need to consult the instruction manual to clear that if the phone company does not provide that service. If it there and you don't know its there the light will keep coming back on. If you need to find your phone try this link.

SOURCE: How do you set the answering machine or voice mail

First make sure the answering machine is on; press the On/Off button to turn it on and off. To set a message to be heard by those calling in: press and hold Skip/Annc. Begin speaking when A shows in the message window. Speak from about 9 inches away from the phone. Messages must be more than 3 seconds and less than 3 minutes long.

Press Prog/Mem and then Skip/Annc to hear the current message. Press and hold Setup until you hear the current setting (Selected announcement is A or Announce Only). Use Skip/Repeat to change the setting. No one will be able to leave a message if Announce Only is on.

After you have held the Setup button, as above, press Setup additional times to set the number of rings before the machine answers and the remote access code among other features.

To set the date and time, press and hold Clock for 1 second. Use the Skip button to advance the current digit; the Repeat button will subtract one from the current value. Press Clock again to advance to the next value to change (day of week, hour, minute, second).

Press Play to hear new messages; press and hold Play to hear all messages. Press Repeat to repeat the current message. Press Repeat twice to hear the last message. Hold Repeat to slow the message playback.

Delete a message by pressing Remove during playback; press Remove twice to delete all messages (if there are no new messages). A blinking F indicates the memory is full and messages must be deleted.

I hope this helps.
