BT Decor 1300 – Issue 1 – Edition 3 – 22.11.05 – 6901
281571 Voice mail indication
The message waiting indicator is activated by a stuttered dial tone which you can hear when you pick up your phone. BT Calling Features, such as Call Diversion and Call Barring use a stuttered dial tone so therefore will cause the message waiting indicator to flash even if no messages have been left.
IMPORTANT
After an incoming call, or after lifting the handset, your BT Decor 1300 will check the line for any messages. You will experience at least a 2 minute delay before the message waiting indicator light flashes if messages have been left.
If you have subscribed to BT Answer 1571 or Call Minder, your BT Decor 1300 will indicate when you have received a voice message by the flashing messages light.
BT Answer 1571 and Call Minder are invisible answer machines located at your local exchange which will take messages when you are out, engaged on another call or on the Internet.
To enable your BT Decor 1300 to let you know you have messages you must first subscribe to a BT messaging service:
BT Answer 1571 is a basic answering service and is completely free of charge. To activate the service, dial Freefone 0800 003 800.
