When I pick up my phone to make a call I hear the engaged signal instead of the dialling tone but it doesn't prevent me from making and receiving calls. I expect this means that a caller has left their phone off the hook but is there anything I can do to remedy this?
same for Virgin landline...1571..if you have a pin,it will ask you to enter it .Your message can then be listened to.The blips will stop after you have done this
It didn't occur to me that it might be a message on 1571 because I cancelled 1571 a year or so ago and now have an answerphone and so don't understand why some messages are coming through on 1571 again.
Yep, if somebody had called you and then left their fone off the hook you wouldnt be able to dial out. YOu just dial 1571 to hear msg and it will clear it. Thats what I have.
