New Voice Mail flashing light

I have a GE Model 28111 Series DECT 6.0 Cordless Handset Speakerphone System. How can I stop flashing light indicating New Voice Mail, once I've retrieved said voice mail, and cancelled it. My two phones keep flashing, unless, I remove the battery. What else can I do? Thanks I have internet phone service. I have retreived my voice mail and now the blue light on my (ge model 28111) phone will not stop flashing, indicating "new voice mail". There is nothing in the users guide about voice mail. I'm almost ready to return phone to store! Please help.

    I'm having the same problem, just since I got new voicemail and long distance service. I've been able to solve the problem in the past by leaving myself a message from another phone and then deleting the message. That doesn't work now.

    same problem

    This is my problem too, with a GE 900MHz cordless phone. The voicemail light keeps flashing on the base after I have deleted the voicemail message that started it flashing. No matter what I do, it keeps flashing -- and then, maybe 15 minutes later, it stops flashing and shines steadily. I do not know what (if anything) I pressed or did to get it to stop flashing.

    Need help please!

    Phone shows new voice mail

  • J R Jun 13, 2008

    I have the GE phone 28112EE3-A, and having the same problem. When I first bought the phones in April of 08 they were returned & I received new phones which worked without any problem until June 08 when I reconnected the phone to my internet phone system (Vonage) GE can't fix the problem but under the warranty I'm entitled to new phones because it is a problem with the phones. If only I can turn off the blue flashing light at night.

What worked for me was to call my phone from another phone and leave myself a voicemail. I then went in and retrieved and deleted that voicemail. Once I hung up from my voicemail service my handsets reset about 10 seconds later.

I hope this helps!

I love my GE Model 28111 Series DECT 6.0 Cordless Handset Speakerphone System. However, I goofed the other day and accidentally left it outside and then it poured. Needless to say, it is totally shot. ...

Your GE phone doesn't have an accessory handset. Unfortunately you cannot replace it with just one handset. If the phone is within warranty, kindly return it to the manufacturer and have it replaced.

Cannot clear message on handset that says I have a voice message.

I resolved the problem but I'm not 100% sure of how I did it. If it happens again I'll try it again. I left the answering machine OFF so the Voice Mail would take any messages. A friend phoned and left a message in the VOICE MAIL, I knew this because of the broken dial tone when I went to make a call. When I erased his message the 'New Voice Message' displayed on the handset disappeared. I figure a previous caller hung up just after the voice mail picked up. It was not long enough so it did not register in the voice mail but somehow registered on the GE phone. Since there wasn't anything registered in the VOICE MAIL to erase the message was 'stuck' on the handset display. As soon as there was a message registered in the VOICE MAIL that could be erased it also cleared the message on the handset.

As i mentioned, if it happens again I'll try it to see if it works, until then I am not going to tempt fate.

How do you unregister a defective handset so that it can replaced

1. Delete or listen to all voice mail messages, if necessary, to clear the IN USE/Voice Mail light indicator.
Note: Skip this step if it does not apply to your MD Series cordless telephone model.
2. Press OFF on the base station and each handset.
3. Press and hold down PAGE on the base station until the IN USE light flashes slowly, then release.
4. Press and hold down PAGE again until the IN USE light begins to flash quickly, then release PAGE.
5. Quickly and fully press and release PAGE again.
6. Please register handset displays. Press OK to begin the registration process, or press EXIT.

GE Cordless DECT 6.0 - Model 28111EEZ-A

Mine says on all handsets "New Voice Mail" but I can't not find out how to listen to it or delete it so the handsets will stop flashing and the message light on the base will also stop flashing. The instructions say you get this from your service provider but does not tell you how to do it or how to delete it.

New Voice Mail flashing light

press "mute" key to access menu, press the up or down arrow key labeled "caller ID- volume" until you get to "handset setup", press the "mute" key again, press the down or up arrow until you have "defaultsetting" selected, press "mute" key, press "1", then press "mute" once more. At this point your handset will reset clearing the indicator for all the handsets. I've had to do this twice on my phones and it worked every time.
