Deleted or turned off voice mail on our Panasonic KX-T7453 - please help

Go into the boss's voicemail and set it up in the menus there..

The KX-T7453 isn't a voicemail system. Please refer to the documentation for whatever voicemail system you have connected.

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.

True, it's not in the "handbook" because it's in the subcriber's guide to whatever voice mail system you have. Try looking for it, but in the meantime, dial 165 and see what happens. If it's a Panasonic brand TVx box, it should answer and either ask for a passoword or you'll be listening to messages.

The owner of the voice mail system, called the message manager, will have the password for mailbox 998. That's where general delivery messages get left sometimes. The system owner has the password for mailbox 999. That's the administrator's mailbox and it lets you change passwords and set up the dial by name directory.

The override comes from the Voice Mail System owner logging into mailbox 999 and resetting the extension password.

If there is a voice mail button on the other set/s, press it, then [#][6], then [*] and your mailbox number.
If there is no button, press [intercom] 165, [#][6], [*] and your maibox number.
Note that 165 is a common voice mail extention number, but it may vary from site to site.

Sign in to mailbox 999 and 998 and poke around. You should find some greetings in there. Else, if you have the installer software you can go in from that and make the changes.

Do you mean have calls transferred to voice mail? Go into system programming and change 408 (DIL 1:1 Nite) to point to the ext of the voice mail port, which depends on your system. That number is found in 118

If you pick up the handset and press the button it will call back whom ever left the message. (that extension you see.) If it is not the voice mail extension, it was just a request to have the receptionist call back. Doing so should clear the lamp.

The voice mail turns the message waiting light on and off. The voice mail is a separate part from your phone system. Usually this is a standard setting at default for each extension but most voice mails will allow you to turn it off. Any way you look at it, this would be a system programming issue. You will need to either pay a company to make the change or you need to know which Panasonic system (and voice mail) you have and obtain system "programming" manuals. (not user guides)
