For compatibility with BT
Answer 1571 (or another
voicemail service)
If you use BT Answer 1571, or
another voicemail service, make
sure the answer delay is set so
your answer machine will pick
up the call before the voicemail
service does. So your answer
delay should be less than the
answer delay on your voicemail
service.
Please note that any blocked
calls will still be able to leave
a message on your 1571
voicemail service.
Setting the answer delay
Answer delay is the number of times the phone will
ring before the answer machine picks the call up for
you. You can choose from two to nine rings and
Time saver.
If you’ve got Time saver switched on, when you
call in to check your answer machine messages
remotely, it’ll only answer the call after five rings
if you don’t have new messages. That way, you
won’t get charged for the call if you haven’t got
any messages to check.
