Voice Mail messages too short, cuts off callers

Is there a way to make the answering system accept longer messages? All people get is 5 seconds-10 seconds, most people don't even get a chance to leave their number, let alone a message. I don't see anywhere in the manual in the section under "answering system" that addresses that issue, but it's a pretty useless message system without the ability to leave longer messages. It couldn't be a memory issue, as this happens even when there are no saved messages.

call your phone service and have them disconnect the voice mail and if they cant just remove that have them set there rings at like 9 since most phones only have up to 5 rings for the machine to answer.you will have to use there voice mail service to hear your message and then delete it but should be good after that. i have comcast and they said it would take 3 days to deactivate voice mail but told me how to get there so i can get rid of that flashing light, hope this helps you

Press the mute/program button, then press the caller ID-volume button to select handset setup. Next press caller ID-volume until you get to Default settings. Use the caller ID-volume button to select 1yes. This will return the phone to the factory settings and for took care of the blinking blue light, however you will loose any custom setting or numbers you entered.

Panasonic voice mail works fine except when our line is busy callers get the busy signal and are unable to leave a voice message
Yes - Afraid that is the case, certainly in the uk.
Phone will only accept a message if phone is not in use / not answered.
You do get notified that there is a call waiting so you can either switch to their call and ask them to call back.
Or when you have finished call - their number will show as last caller and you can call them back.

Why would a NorStar StarTalk suddenly stop accepting voicemail calls?
"Q: My Norstar Startalk, Flashtalk, or voice mail says my mailbox is not accepting any more messages. I deleted all my messages, but callers still cannot leave a message. Why?
A: Check with your voice mail administrator. Chances are another Mailbox on the system used up all the message storage space. Usually it's the general delivery mailbox that hasn't been checked for messages on a regular basis."

I have the panasonic phone but when someone called me after 3 rings it goes on answering machine. i wanted to make it longer at least after 5 ring. please help me with any suggestion.

You can set your ring time to 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds.

  • Tap **61*121*11* into your phone as if you're making a call.
  • Next enter a time between 5 and 30 (the number of seconds in multiples of 5)
  • Press # and then the call button. Don't put the phone to your ear - just look at the display until you see a message confirming your ring time has been set.
For example, **61*121*11*25# followed by the call button would set your ring time to 25 seconds.

How do we set up the phone system so that an outside caller can call our extension directly without having to go through reception/main unit?
There are a couple of ways. The easiest one is to use the Panasonic voice mail system which has an auto attendant built-in. It can be programmed to answer incoming calls, play a menu and let the caller dial extensions or ring the operator. If no one answers, it can take messages and provide the voice mail for the system. The TVA system has a LAN card that can send voice mail to email. It's optional in the TVA-50 and included in the 200.

Panasonic kx-t7453 corded digital super hybrid system How do I turn my voicemail box on so a caller can leave a message at my extension? thank you
Pretty much, it depends on what happens when you dial 165. That's the voice mail access number for a Panasonic TD phone system with Pana VM. If you get the voice mail lady, set the box up and then from the intercom dial 7102/3/4/5 where 2 is all/3 is busy, 4 is no answer and 5 is busy/no answer and 165 or whatever the VM access number is and possibly # (I forget if it's required). That will light the FWD/DND light and send calls to the voice mail system.

Unable to leave voice mail, says good-bye
I don't think the voice mail is going bad.

On my 4424D+, I can turn off voice mail.
I use this feature when I'm gone for an extended period of time so I don't come back to 100 VMs.

Dial into your voice mail.
Choose the prompt for Call Answer Mode. (Option 8 on my phone.)
Then choose the prompt for Record Mode. (Option 1 for me.) This allows callers to record voice mails on your line.

Voice Mail drops last of message and cannot listen entirely
It's possible the system thinks the caller has completed the message because they make a long pause in what they are saying. OR does it ever cut them off in mid sentence? Do you use standard copper lines or are you on a VOIP network such as a cable provided phone line? Some VOIP lines produce slightly different voltage levels, ring signals etc.. and cause problems with sensitive equipment like this system. On these codes that Panasonic had you change. Were they A/B on/off etc.. or was there a range (like 1-10) and you can try a setting in the middle somewhere instead of just 1 or 10. The older system had a phone line setting of A or B. The default was A but often changing them to B made a difference on certain types of phone lines. Panasonic probably had you change this (if the same feature is available on the 4500) but if not, and it's there try that.
