Pick up messages - Vtech 5.8GHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System

Many of the telephones have a built in answering machine. The beeps are to let you know you have a message you have not picked up yet. This to help you not miss messages. Check your owners manual to see if you can turn off or mute the message warning tone.

You apparently have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

There is a key you press while your outgoing message plays. it will prompt you forcyour password

One simple solution is to simply forward the message to an email address you use on your computer and saving it to a folder.
There is no option in the Samsung messaging system to "share" the message directly. So to get around that, go to the message, open it, click the menu button, where you can forward to another email address that you can open and save in your computer emails.
Or you can open the message, click menu and pick "copy message text", go into any number of note apps that Samsung has installed or that you can download from the Android market. Paste the message there, then click the menu button in the notes app and pick "share", you will have many options, but pick bluetooth and send the message to your computer via bluetooth. Make sure your bluetooth is enabled on your computer and on your phone.
On your computer go to start, then type in Bluetooth (or go to control panel and pick the bluetooth icon). Enable bluetooth to receive. Go into your Samsung "settings", pick "wireless and network", pick "bluetooth", pick "visible" and either scan for your computer or have your computer scan for your device. When they are connected, you can transfer the saved message to your computer.
Once your Samsung is paired with your computer and you have the hang of saving the message to notes, clicking the menu, click share, click bluetooth, transferring your messages will be quick and easy.

The flashing message light may be telling you there is voice mail on your telephone line. If you have "home voice mail" or whatever your phone service provider calls their service, you're told of new message by a stutter dialtone. That is, when you pick up your phone to make a call, you hear two or three brief bursts of dialtone before it goes steady. Many new phone systems start flashing their message light when there are waiting messages so that you'll know about them if you don't pick up your phone. Follow whatever procedure your provider gives (usually you call a local access number) to pick up your messages, and that light should quit blinking.

Have you tried erasing all the (incoming) messages on the machine? Does that let it ring the full 4-ring-cycle before it picks up?

It's been years since I owned one of these, but there should be a switch (on the side of the unit?) for a feature called "toll saver" If you find this, switch it off.

The idea was from the days of payphones -- if the machine had no messages, it would ring 4 times before it picks up. If there were messages, it would pick up after one ring (or sometimes two)

If you were out on the town and wanted to check your messages, you'd put your dime in a payphone and call home. If it rang three times, you can hang up the payphone and get your dime back, knowing there's no message to check.

During the call:

When Answering Machine is processing an incoming call, you will see a dialog showing the application's progress with the ability to stop it:

* Answer - when this command is chosen during a call, it stops greeting playback or message record and you can continue talking to the caller;
* Hang up - stops greeting playback or message recording and terminates the call; hope this will be helpful...

I had this problem and finally found a number for Eschelon telecom (763 745 8000). This is what they had me do. Press the Speaker button and then enter 7732. This cleared the blinking light and inmail message. This happens when you receive an internal call and someone leaves you a message to call them back. Still can't figure out how to listen to the message. But this cleared the blinking light.

hope that helps.
