ok i just checked my messages and didnt realize i had 15 of them on there!
the answering service comes with my internet (voip) provider
im currently using a simple landine phone, it doesnt indicate any messages.. you have to dial in to check
im looking for a corded phone with a built in answering machine thats compatible to voip internet
any suggestions,? so it indicates ive got a message...like an envelope icon or something, anything that lets me know ive recieved one?

my modem is wired voip getaway
my provider said i need a voip compatible phone too well if i want the ans.m. to work
why wont i need what mm suggested?
Are you not using voip already?
Sorry, I was confused. I thought you must have been already using a voip phone and need to replace it because you don't get your messages. Now I'm just confused 😄
yes it is a voip internet system
no i got any old phone hooked up which any old phone can be rigged (it doesnt have to be voip compatible) with the net providers answering service
it all works, always have done
i just want a system where it elerts me that i got a message, an indication of some kind
saves the hassle of dialling it thru, for example; if i go out for 15 minutes down the shops.. i have no idea if theres a recorded message.
dig? lol
That's what I thought you meant.
In that case can you set up an sms alert or get a cheap dect voip compatible answer phone?
The Belkin router must have voip ability built in.
Not quite sure what you mean by voip internet system apart from the router having an inbuilt voip device.
Sorry, I wrote post before seeing your reply back there 😄

yes, in about 15 seconds flat
in a RL situation it took me about three weeks to check that i had 15 recorded messages
(im sure my phone had an evelope icon indicator..once...maybe its broken)

The message feature probably doesn't work with voip.

it did show an envelope icon when i first got the phone freakie
maybe my provider erased that feature when BoB appeared!
now my phone wont accept my password to check any recorded messages, *doggie drops the f bomb*
