How to delete message waiting - Toshiba DKT 3010 Corded Phone

I had the same issue on my RCA 25255re2 and worked with customer service at RCA. They had me hold down the delete button for 5 seconds, release the delete button, then press delete one more time. That cleared the phantom L1 message waiting issue we were having at my office

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

There is another reason you are having the message waiting indicator besides having a message waiting, it also means the phones messages are full and some messages need to be deleted. Once you have deleted some messages, then you will be able know if you have any message waiting or its just a symbol to show that your message is full.
Hope this information helped

Yes, this has happened to me as well. You just have to wait till it kinda stops freaking out and then try to delete it. It is a pain when you send a message and it goes to outbox saying sending and the reciever is getting loads of the same message and you can't stop it. Either wait, or keep the phone off for a bit and let it cool off :) x

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.

This problem had been bugging me for over a month now so I decided to just try and wait it out. First I deleted all the threads individually that the phone would allow me to so that just left me with 3 big threads, one that had 1300 messages and 2 that had about 650 each. I went into each thread and hit delete and when the "force close or wait" message popped up I hit "wait". Then it came up again about 5 minutes later so I hit "wait" again. I kept hitting "wait" each time and the thread eventually deleted. The ones with 650 took about 10 minutes of waiting to finally get deleted, the one with 1300 took about 20 mins but eventually they were all gone and now my phone is running much more smoothly. So just wait it out. Its annoying but worth it in the end.

go into menu, go to "play message", scroll down to "all messages" press the tick button, when the messages play press X (secrecy) button.
you have to delete them one by one
hope this helps

Hi,

This might be much to late but I am posting this because I could not find a solution on the web.

I had a similar problem after moving my sim from another phone to the new 6210. In the end it was because there was old unread SIM messages on the SIM card. I deleted them and all was fine.

To do thes go to messaging, select OPTIONS, SIM Messages. Mark all and delete.
