The message waiting indicator is
activated by a stuttered dial tone
which you can hear when you pick up
your phone. BT Calling Features, such
as Call Diversion and Call Barring use
a stuttered dial tone so therefore will
cause the message waiting indicator
to flash even if no messages have
been left.
IMPORTANT
After an incoming call, or after lifting
the handset, your BT Decor 2200 will
check the line for any messages. You
will experience at least a 2 minute
delay before the message waiting
indicator light flashes if messages
have been left.
