If BasicTalk is used for LD, while still keeping internet/local phone, is there a way to disable the voicemail feature, or alt/setting # rings higher?

You can turn off the voice mail. You can also set how many seconds to wait before the voice mail picks up.

My phone is on silent mode. When someone calls I don't hear the message and I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to hear the message if it was in standard mode. The only reason I even have the phone is because my cable bundle comes with telephone. It is a nice phone though with lots of nice features!

By default voice activation is off. There is a reason for that. Even when it works ok, you don't always want a voice to trigger it.

thanks for the info, but it acts as though I am just another caller, when I get to voice mail...when do you add the pin code to get access to voicemail??? I am a newbie to Tracfone, and really like this phone...but have always had a phone, where accessing voicemail was free and easy.TIA

It is usually up the the software you are using it for. It can be both in my experience with Ventrillo, teamspeak, raidcall, and skype. Generally skype is voice activated though.

I believe you can disable the voice mail and use your phone company's voice mail. You have to make sure that the SYN248 no answer timers are longer than the phone company's voice mail timers.

I really don't know. In my house of the 26 years, I did respond to voice mails, if they happened to go to the phone rather than my AT&T; coverage. However, I am having a problem with my phone system in my rental space and I have to call AT&T; regarding retrieving the messages. My service is really messed up and AT&T; has tried to fix it, but I think it needs jands on tech support instead of turning off my internet also for periods of time. Sorry, that I am no help. I try not to buy an answering machine, but there was no choice with this phone.

My android defaults to my phone, but when I playback voicemail messages, the message plays through renny talking unless I disable my Bluetooth.

Yes. We have two lines, one with the phone company's voice mail and one with no added features. On our AT&T; phone set we have the answering machine turned off for the line with voice mail and turned on for the line without.

That is extremely annoying, but there is a way to do it. If I remember right, there are settings in the skype program that disable it. I will double-check where they are tonight, but it can be done. It drove me nuts too.

I have tried answering a call or pushing the "accept" button and you cannot interrupt the message cycle. However, if the caller presses "O" the box rings with a discernible tone and you can pick up the call and you can accept it and add it to the white list at that time. If you know you will be getting a call you can turn the blocker off temporarily.

I did not run into any restrictions. However, I have heard that Nettalk will soon no longer work with Google Voice.

Won't work as a phone with magic jack.You can listen and see contact, but not talk or text

This is the single most annoying thing with our phone. I'll buy the first Skype phone to have this feature, although I would prefer they just upgrade the firmware to allow setting the delay.

You have to call AT&T u-verse voicemail service,they control setting.Nothing wrong with the Panasonic KX-TG6512B DECT 6.0

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

Voicemail and calll waiting are included! I am not sure about 3 way calling because this is not a feature I use.
