Landline Voicemail

@TallSteve2 It is posted in the EE Home Service Digital Home Phone section, rather than in the Landline Broadband, take a look when you get time. 

And i posted up earlier on this thread that it did not work trying to save you all the hassle, did you not see it?

[TallSteve2]

Why doesn't it work when the website blurb says it does have an interrupted dial tone?

[JimM11]

@TallSteve2 That's correct, it is supposed to work, but somewhere along the line it stopped working, so now it is reported that it does not work, so the error is somewhere along the path, but know one knows where. Raise it as a complaint that is all one can suggest...

Hi,

I promised I would report back having purchased four of the Essential phones.

Yes I do not get the intermittent dialling tone but I get something much better. I don't even have to lift the handset to see if I have received any messages.

If there is a message in my voice mail then I get the green cassete style led showing in the button two below the screen on the right. When I pick up the handset I also get the same sign in white on the screen telling me how many messages I have in my voice mail. To hear them, all I have to do is press the button with the green led light and I get straight through to my voicemail.

I am a happy man now.

Plus I was taking an incoming call on one handset when some one else rang me so my wife answered that call on another handset. Brilliant.

A very happy Missus as she can now use the phone without having to wait for anyone else to finish with it.

@Padcamp Thanks for posting back it's great, got to keep the missus happy, @Richardr66 posted he had an issue with his phone settings, so i have tagged him so he see's your response, hope you do not mind.👍👍

[TallSteve2]

It's something at least. Perhaps we all have to buy those phones.

[JimM11]

@Padcamp If you do not mind there appears to be a BT version and also an EE version, this is indicated by the logo on the phone, as to wither the variants are just cosmetic or different in software/FW that part is not known, can you post up BT or EE version of the Essential Digital Home Phone. Thanks👍

[Richardr66]

Do you get the Alert Tone as well? I could only get both, despite the settings menu allowing one or the other. If I just picked one in the settings it wouldn't work. I'll test it again after a few days.

My phone was branded BT on the packaging - the actual phone itself has no branding on it, but the base mentions BT twice on the underneath.

@Richardr66 This is a link how the EE phone looks, when BT it is where the EE is in the ear piece, does yours look like it.

Digital Phone | Digital Cordless Phone | EE

BT Essential Digital Home Phone (090709) | EE Store

BT Advanced Digital Home Phone (090258) | EE Store

It's the essential version but with HD rather than BT [or EE] in the earpiece.
