Deleting messages i dont know how to delete the messages on my machine please help me

try : should I remouve it

Hi there!
Try to press the delete key when the phone is in stand-by mode and wait for the voice to say "To delete all messages, press delete again" then press delete again. Each message on you Uniden system should be removed. Lastly confirm the deletion. The answeringmachine should display ")" messages. If not just repeat the process untill the messages are gone.
Hope this helps. Please rate if it works. Thanks

hi, yes and no is the quick answer, basically its telling you either your message out box is full or you have used a lot of hte memory on the phone, try going into messages via the menu then go into sent or ot box then choose delete and if you then highlight the message you want to delete then press settings and choose mark if you then do this to all the ones you want to delete then when you have finished you can choose delete and it will then delete all the ones you have marked.

now for your second question, im afraid their is no way of changing the settings to allow you to change the amount of time the messages are kept, you can change the settings so it dont save any sent messages at all but this can be a problems as you will never know what you have sent, the best thing to do would be to go through your messages say every other day and delete the ones you dont need.

now if you free up some memory on the phone by deleting things like inbox,outbox,sent messages also delete any pictures you dont need and even delete any ringtones you dont need doing this will free up memory and it will then store more messages on the phone than it is storing now

let me know how you get on or if you need furher assistance ok

please can you rate this solution, many thanks

hi what the phone is saying is its capable of holding 500 message but in reality this means if you have enough free memory your phone can store 500 messages so what you need to do is delete all the sent/outbox/inbox/drafts message delete all the ones you dont need.
Also delete any pictures you dont need as these take up loads of mem also delete any ringtones that your never going to use as alot of the messages you got free with the phone you never use so make sure you delete any of these that your sure you dont want as these also take up loads of memory once you have done this you should find your phone will work just fine

go to your message click and hold on tol the name/number and its going to say delete thread and it would delete all the text that you and that person talked about or if you dont want to delete the whole thing go to message click on the name/nuber and look for the message you would like to delete and click and on hold the message and you are going to see options and you are going to see delete message and it would not be there anymore.

Call your phone number. After the greeting is finished and you hear the beep to leave a message push 123 on a touch tone phone and you will be given a list of things you can choose to do including listening to messages. 123 is the default security code unless the security code has been changed. Since you dont know how to retrieve messages Im assuming the default security code has never been changed.

If 123 is not the default security code and you dont know what the code is, you can change your code in the setup menu. You get to this by pushing the stop/set button on the answering machine and holding it for a couple of seconds. Since GE doesnt offer a downloadable manual for the 29878GE1 you should probably take a look at the manual for the 29875GE1 which is basically the same model with the addition of a digital message counter. Hope this helps.

Sorry for such a late reply. I just saw your question.
You can recover deleted messages with the help of USB SIM card reader. For more info, please revert back.

I have the same machine. There is no way to retreive it. You may be able to pay someone a lot of money to some how extract it off the chip but it would have to be a really important message and even then I do not know for sure if it is possible.

what is the name of the machine and it manufacturer?

Please delete some message from your phone, its due to low memory in phone, phone needs some memory to process delete function.
