When people leave me a message - the answering machine does not show that I have a message. The person calling hears the greeting - leaves a message, but I do not receive the message.

You can skip tracing via texts or phone calls:
Phone calls: Local phone calls are answered more so prefer a mobile phone that allows you set up local phone numbers whenever desired.

Custom greeting messages: When a person doesn't answer the phone call, you are instructed to leave a voice message. Now, when the other person calls you back and your greeting message differs from the one that you had left in the voice message, he would straight away hang up your call.

You can also use tools for skip tracing to do the needful task!

Here is the manual for your phone. You can download the manual and the instructions for setting up your answering machine are on page 43:
