Message counter continues to flash and there are no mesages.\r\nVM showing on screen. I am currently using Bell Call answer. Uniden DECT1580 series

You have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Press the ANSWER ON/OFF button on the base. See page 47 of this manual: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/DECT1580-2om.pdf

Follow the instructions on page 23 of this manual: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/DECT1580-2om.pdf

Yes. Follow the instructions on page 43 of the manual at

For the DECT2180, press Mesage/Mute on any handset to access the answering system. Wait for the announcements to be finished or press 5 to skip. Then press 8. Wait for the message "record greeting" then begin speaking. Press 8 to stop recording. The system will play back the greeting. Press End to save the greeting and exit the system.

For the DECT2080, press and hold Greet on the base. When you hear "record greeting", start speaking your message. Press Greet again or the play/stop button to stop recording your message. Press Greet again to play back the current outgoing message.

Which Uniden do you have? There are several models. Manuals for all of the current ones are here: http://www.uniden.com/index/manuals_results.cfm?cat=59 .

Most models will be similar. Setting a new message when you call into the system is a totally different issue and not all Uniden phones support the feature. Read your manual.

I hope this helps.

How can I put my own message on my Uniden DECT1580-2A when I'm not here to answer my telephone.?

OK. You have a phone set with an answering machine, yet you continue to pay MaBell for Voice-Mail. Is there any compelling reason. That was my feeling when I first read your question but I thought you might not like what I had to say, so I consulted the Uniden FAQ and here what they have to say.

If you Uniden phone has a digital answering machine, and you also have voice mail through your phone company, the message indicator light will not light up when you have a message in your voice mail system. We recommend you discontinue your voice mail and use the Uniden internal digital answering system.
