Cannot retrieve voicemail

To retrieve messages from the RCA Telefield model 1000 answering machine, follow these steps:

1. Press the "play" button on the answering machine. You will hear a beep and the machine will start playing your messages.
2. Use the "skip" and "repeat" buttons to navigate through your messages.
3. To save a message, press the "save" button. To delete a message, press the "delete" button.
4. If you want to keep a message, write down the date and time of the message and the caller's phone number.

If you are having trouble retrieving messages or the answering machine is not working properly, you may need to reset it. To reset the RCA Telefield model 1000 answering machine, unplug it from the power source for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This should reset the answering machine and clear any issues.

What system?

Probably MW key set by a person and not the Voicemail. press it and see who is ringing. Answer the call and it should clear. If it is a panasonic you can have up to 8 MW's set so you may need to repeat.

If, perhaps you mean "it rings another one of our..." Phone Extensions, then just press the illuminated red message button, go to the ringing phone (the extension number will appear on your phone if you have a display phone) and answer the call by lifting the phone off-hook, then hang it up. Now the message button on your phone will work normally. What happened was that the user of the phone that was ringing when you pressed the button had inadvertently left you a "message waiting" after they called your phone on the intercom. By pressing the message button on your phone, you returned their call, and by answering the return call, you cleared the message waiting indication on your phone. There can be more than one message waiting, so if the light is still on after you clear the first call, using the procedure above, do it again and again until each call is returned, answered and cleared.

You 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.

When you press the voicemail button on your phone it is retrieving messages stored internally in your phone. Verizons Voicemail is a seperate entity where the message reside on the server. If you do not want to use the Verizon Voicemail, simply call the business office and ask them to remove voicemail completely from the account. That way your phones internal answerming machine whille then catch all the voicemails and you can go back to using your voicemail button to listen to them. Hope that helps you and everyone else out.
