26 1571 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

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
1200 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.

1. Lift the handset and wait for the dial tone.

2. Press . The number is displayed and you will hear
the telephone dialling out. After a few seconds you will
be connected automatically to your voice mail service.
