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.

~*~*~ SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED! ~*~*~ After talking to both ATT and RCA with no success...I figured it out. ~*~*~ Plug your phone line into the "DATA PORT" on the back of the unit. Slide the "DATA PORT" switch to whichever line is showing it has a message. Press the corresponding Line# button on the front of the phone. (you should hear the dial tone) Dial your voice mail number. Let it answer, (enter your passcode if needed), then hang up! - That's it! example: MSG Waiting:L2 - I plugged the phone line into the Data Port and moved the data port switch to "2". I pressed LINE 2 on the front of the phone, dialed my voice mail number, it answered, I put in my passcode. (It said that I did not have any new voice mails), then hung up! That's it! Message Indicator light off!!! Repeat for each line that shows a (false) message waiting. ~~~Don't forget to move your phone line back into it's correct port on the back of your phone.~~~

You can find the combiner at Radio Shack Model: T07843 ' Catalog #: 55034722. It may only be online not in the stores.

There are a couple of problems you may have.First, the wall jack may not be wired correctly or the wire you ar eusing is a single line wire.The easiest to check is the wire, look at the plug and see if it has 4 copper leads. If it only has two in the middle two slots then it will only connect line 1. If it has 4 copper leads then it should pass both lines 1 and 2 (or three and four). The middle leads are line 1 and the outer two are line 2.If the wires all check out then you may have a wall plate that is not wired for multiple lines on the single wire. That will require a technician coming out and rewiring the plate. There are also adaptors available at Radio Shack that will combine two lines to one wire if you have both lines on the wall plate.I have a blog on 4 line phones if you would like other tips about them. Go to the tag cloud and you will see 4 line phone.

you can contact the mobile service provider.....

How set your phone's ringer Tone!
1. Press the MENU button while in standby mode.
2. Use the button to scroll to SET PHONE OPTIONS.
3. Press the SELECT/SAVE button.
4. Use the button to scroll to SET RING TONE.
5. Press the SELECT/SAVE button. The ringer tone settings for each of the four telephone lines show in the display.
6. Use the button to scroll to through each ringer tone for LINE 1. A sample ringer tone is generated when you scroll to
individual ringer tones. Choose from eight different tones, or turn the ringer OFF.
NOTE: If you select OFF, the cursor automatically moves to the CID ON/OFF option. Use the button to select CID ON or OFF. (ON allows the unit to detect
and display CID records for the corresponding telephone line. OFF disables the function for the corresponding telephone.) Press the SELECT/SAVE button.
7. Press the SELECT/SAVE button to save. The cursor automatically moves to LINE 2.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each telephone line. After you select the ringer tone for LINE 4, press the EXIT button.
NOTE: The line indicators flash for incoming calls even if the ringer is disabled.

This sounds like a central office problem. The called id information is normally transmitted in Bell 201 (1200 baud) between the first and 2nd ring. Your phone seem to be saying either saying there is nothing in the data stream, or it isn't getting the data stream at all. So the leading candidates in order are the Central Office and the ONT.
power off... if that doesnt work, do a hard reset take the battery out, and put it back after then . Turn on the phone.

The term we used for this back when I worked for the phone company was a "stuck message waiting indicator" and the way to fix it was:

Call yourself and leave a message.
Hang up and wait 2 minutes (we used to say 5 minutes, but 2 is plenty)
Retreive/delete your voice mail message
Hang up and wait 2 minutes


That should clear the blinking light.

To resolve, you must hard reset the phone as follows:
1. unplug power cord, unplug phone cord, remove all batteries.
2. Leave disconnected in this state for at least 10 minutes.
3. Now reconnect in following order: reinstalling batteries, reattach the phone cord followed by plugging in the power cord.
4. This restores the phone to the original settings. You will lose items in memory, but the phone dial function should be restored. This was recommended by customer service and resolved my issue which sounds identical to yours. You can now proceed with resetting up your phone as desired.

Don't know about other models, but I just called RCA small business phone support (800-511-3180) to find out how to clear the message light indicator on my 25210 2-line cordless phone when it continues to blink but there is no message.

All you have to do is hold down the delete button for a few seconds and it will clear. Hope this helps someone else from going batty!

Ya, I can find no way to get the ringer on, even if I reset to default settings. What the heck?!

Be sure you are pressing the correct extension key for the phone you are attempting to call. Just press 'intercom' and the key number (from the right side of the phone marked 1-16).

Call your phone company as see if they have caller ID on that line. If it works on all of the other lines then the phones seem to be wroking properly so I'd go to the phone company.

If it works sometimes, then it might be a problem with the phone or the phone line itself.

If it never works at all, then it's a problem with the services that the phone company has enabled/disabled on the line.
If that's the case, call your phone company's repair line and explain the situation. They can check to confirm that the message waiting indicator service is provisioned on the line, or add it if it's not.

Check the cor and cos setting of the phone It shold have the permissions to call outside

I have 6 of these phones. No problem for a year or so, then one phone got the message light stuck on. Tried some online suggestions without success. Powering down etc. failed to fix it so I stuck a piece of tape over the led.

A couple of weeks ago line 2 failed (externally) and ATT sent a tech out who repaired it and also cleaned up the line. When the line came back, all 6 phones had the message light stuck on!

Talked with the tech here and with the ATT support and nothing worked. Eventually the tech here left as it was not a line fault - but he said he would leave the problem open.

That evening a young ATT guy called. He tried a number of different settings and changes - he was really determined! He called Kentucky and Minnesota and part of the advice was "give up and don't call the customer back"!

Finally he found a configuration option in the central office switch (exchange) for the line called CWMI (Call Waiting Message Indicator). Apparently this option was originally active but was changed when the local trunk was upgraded to fibre over the last year or so.

Once he enabled this option (we have call waiting and caller ID on call waiting on this line), the message lights on all the phones turned off and have worked normally since (10 days), including the one that was "broken" for over a year!

I really credit the tech with persistance on the issue.

Hope this helps someone else out there.

I recently changed my number and when I did, I received the same problem. It appears that AT&T didn't add the Message Indicator Light service to my new number. Once they did, the message light works!

Try calling your phone service provider and asking if they have a Message Indicator Light function.

I just encountered this same problem on my phone. To resolve, you must hard reset the phone as follows: unplug power cord, unplug phone cord, remove all batteries. Leave disconnected in this state for at least 10 minutes. Now reconnect in following order: reinstalling batteries, reattach the phone cord followed by plugging in the power cord.
