Someone mentioned the answering machine doesn't flash when you have a message. So how do you know when someone has left a message?

The button that you push to play messages has an 'arrow' on it that does light up when there is a message. Basic but it does the job. I like these little phones

this bugged me also for a few weeks, then i realized - my voicemail! the green light flashes if you have missed calls, if you're like me and you have more than 1 in your home, you'd have to empty missed calls log on EACH phone. and the voicemail, if you have anything there, which i often forget to check, the green lights will continue to flash until you empty your VM. hope that helps.

Hi --yes, there is an amber light that flashes if you have a voicemail. I found the user manual online. Here is what they say about it -- hope it helps: Listening to voice mail messagesThe unit lets you know that you havenew voice mail messages in thefollowing ways:- "New Voice Mail" is displayed onthe handset if message indicationservice is available.- The message indicator on the handsetflashes slowly if the message alertfeature is turned on.

I have no idea. I do not use the answering machine feature. I have voice mail!

Yes, it has a blinking light on all receivers and base when a message has been left on the answering machine.

Yes! As Joseph S. said, it can take some trial & error, after a message is saved or deleted, move the volume button on the side of the receiver upward, and the light will stop flashing.

If you subscribe to a voicemail service with your telecom provider the phone has a visual indication feature that you have a new voicemail message. However, the phone does not have an answering machine feature and does not record messages.

No, there is no way to leave a message. It is a "digital bell" to announce that someone is at the door.

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

I'm never home to hear the message being recorded. I think there's a message to the caller, and then hang up mode if that helps.

The indicator will stop blinking after you listen to it. If you delete it its gone, if you leave it, the message counter goes up one but blinking stops.

YES! If you look at the 4 buttons and in the center there is a round button. That round (actually I think it's shaped like an arrow) button flashes red when you have messages. It will not tell you how many messages you have but it is an indicator that you have messages.

Wish I could help you out. I sure am not a technician ! When I have a message, I press the bottom of the round dial ( like the 6 o'clock position) and it plays the message. I am connected to Comcast, and if the phone is in use when a message comes in, the light blinks, and I pick up the receiver , punch *99, and then the green talk button, and I can hear the message that was left thru Comcast while my phone was in use.You may want to call customer service at VTECH

I have wireless phone lines and I go into voice mail to get my messages. I cannot hear a message at the same time the person is leaving the message.

In addition to your customized message, there are two standard messages you can select. One says leave a message, etc, the other just announces that you got the call (retrievable from the call list) in the event that you have call messaging turned off.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

If you look in the instructions it tells you how to make the base unit beep when you have a message. Also a red light flashes and the display tells you how many messages you have. It tells you on the hand sets too (no light or beep on the handsets).
