Vtech cordless phone won't let long distance calls be left on voicemail

VoiceMail is not a function or feature of the cordless phone.

VoiceMail is an option offered by some (not all) telephone
service providers, and each of those who do offer the feature
employ specific procedures unique to themselves.

Check with your Telephone Service Provider to see if you
have or can get a VoiceMail service activated and how to
go about using it.

OTOH, some cordless phones have an associated Answering
Machine System to answer incoming calls, save a message,
provide for you to access and manage the system remotely
(ie, call-home and play your messages, delete some or all, etc.)

The specific how-to's for all of this are best viewed in the
original Owner's / User's Manual which is easily downloaded
from www.manualslib.com ( look underneath the battery
inside the handset for a small sticker showing the proper model
number to look for ( ie, CS6229 ))

Good luck!
