Pressed *21 on vtech phone - to activate going straight to voicemail - how do I turn it off?

Hi,
I found an online handbook manual for the VTech 6.) CS124. I noticed on Page 20 that you can set the number of rings on your answering system. Perhaps changing the number for incoming calls to a higher number might help.
Here's the link to the manual. https://cdn-web.vtp-media.com/media/p/document2/products/%7BD1C79A59-7C89-415D-830F-D57B9ACB6F33%7D/CS6124_UM_2.pdf Hope this helps.

The cordless phone pictured appears to be a VTech CS6114
and an Answering Machine System is not part of this phone.

** BUT ** an Answering Machine System is not the same
as "VoiceMail" anyway.

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
do have a VoiceMail service activated and how to go about
using it.

Per the CS6114 User Manual, the display indication shown,
"New VoiceMail", will be removed from the cordless phone
handset when you have accessed the providers' VoiceMail
system and played/cleared the messages.

If the alert display persists, it can be cleared from the handset
by the following (tested on my own cs6114 phone):
===========================
press [menu]
scroll to "Settings"
press [select]
scroll to "Clr voicemail"
press [select]
display reads "Reset VM Icon?"
press [select]
phone will (chirp)
press [off ] [off ]
===========================
Good luck!

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

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!

The CS6519-16 isn't a voicemail system. To check the voicemail on the system provided by your telephone company, see pages 14 and 21 of the manual: http://cdn-media.vtechphones.com/media/p/document2/products/%7BE839F72C-D9DC-4CEF-A708-7F251646DAF6%7D/CS6519-16_UM_2_618.pdf

On most VTech phones the voicemail indicator turns on when someone leaves a message on the voicemail system offered by your phone company. Many phone companies have such a system, which takes messages when your phone is busy. You'll have to contact your phone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

hello, its is possible that you have activated your call DIVERT...
Try to deactive all call DIVERT on your phone device.. Go to your settings, check CALLS SETTINGS, THEN YOU CLICK ON CANCELL ALL DIVERT..
cheers.

After you heard the message (suggest you to call your phone company to get your voicemail access code if you don't know your code), then press the "menu" button on the phone, and scroll down to find the "CLR VOICE MAIL" and press OK.
