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.
