Vtech connecting message - Vtech mi6896 Trio Cordless Phone

I believe you are reaching a Voice Mail system (VMail) from your service provider instead of the VTech answering machine.

Suggest you contact the same person who helped you with VMail to setup the VTech to answer the line before the VMail system.

Hint; Whose voice is it that says "Beth"?

Ours had the same issue. I took the Vtech Kidijamz apart. The power button has its own little board. I unscrewed that. It connects to the next board via two wires. I reflowed the solder for all the connections for those two wires (four solder points total). Issue fixed. FYI: reflowing solder just means heating each solder point (with a soldering iron) until the solder gets soft and then removing the iron to let the solder cool and thus harden.

The VTech 6041 isn't an answering machine. If you have a separate answering machine connected to your phone line, please consult its documentation. If you're subscribed to a voicemail system provided by your telephone company, please contact them for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Alternatively, if you do have an answering machine connected to your phone, reply to this post and specify the make and model of your answering machine.

More than likely the phones base station (transmitter) is defective, this is a common failure on Vtech cordless phones, i have owned two and both failed the for the same reason. I also see this problem posted often for Vtech phones.

The CS5111-2 isn't an answering machine. If you have a separate answering machine connected to your phone line, consult its documentation. If you're subscribed to a voicemail system offered by your phone company, contact them for information.

This website listed above shows the manuals for the vtech phones. Find your model number on your phone and retrieve the manual from the site. On the part of recovering your deleted messages on your vtech phone, you can't recover them from the device itself. If you have Vonage, Comcast, AT&T or Verizon, which all have VoiceMail systems. They can recover your deleted messages. I hope something turns out for the good on this vtech problem.

The I6727 isn't an answering machine. Please consult the documentation for whatever answering machine or voicemail system connected to your phone line.

There is no retreival of deleted messages. I went to the VTech web page, downloaded the PDF manual, and read the notations there.

I had the same issue and by changing the battery my problem was definitively solved. I bought the battery on ebay for about 5$.

this is not mentionned on the vtech faq but it should

I hope this helps
