1571 
Voice mail
indication

If you have subscribed to BT’s BT
Answer 1571 or Call Minder, your
BT Decor 1571 will indicate when 
you have received a voice message
by the message waiting indicator
light flashing.

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.

Your BT Decor 1571 also has a
quick access facility to BT’s 1571
Service and dedicated buttons
(M1, M2, M3) which allow you to
play, delete and save your
messages. 

To enable your BT Decor 1571 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 

Free

fone

0800

003 800

.

For information on Call Minder,
call BT on 

Free

fone 0800

.

This is a chargeable Service.

To access your voice mail

Lift the handset and wait for the
dial tone.

Press and hold the

1571

button for

3 seconds. You will hear the
telephone dialling out and after a
few seconds you will be
connected automatically to your
voice mail service.

To listen to your voice
messages

When in 1571 mode, you are able
to play, save and delete your
messages using the dedicated
One-Touch buttons on your 
BT Decor 1571. These are
labelled Play, Save and Delete.

Press the 

M1

button to PLAY your

messages.

Press the 

M2

button to SAVE your

messages.

Press the 

M3

button to DELETE

your messages.

Note

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

If you dial 1571 manually using
the keypad(and not entered via
the 1571 button) the One-Touch
buttons will not dial the correct
code to play, save or delete your
message. Therefore, if you have
stored numbers in these memories
they will be dialled out as well.

If you do dial 1571 manually
follow the announcements to play,
save and delete your messages
using the keypad.

IMPORTANT

After an incoming call, or 
after lifting the handset, your 
BT Decor 1571 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.
