Title: Message waiting tone won't go away
Post by: Dave8337 on February 06, 2019, 06:33:28 PM
I have no messages, but when I go off hook I get the message waiting tones.
How can I fix this issue?

Hi Dave:

Typically, this means that the "there is a message waiting" flag on one of your device's SP1--SP4 slots is set on, and somehow got stuck without being cleared.  OR, it's a legitimate status, and one of your service providers actually does have a message waiting.

To eliminate the first cause:

If that doesn't fix it, then you actually do have a message waiting on one of your SPs, or that provider has the bit stuck on at their end.

Hi !
I have the same problem. I removed the check mark on my sp1 which is Fpl

My phone dial tone still stutters and it says voicemail on my Panasonic phone but there is no messages
I use my own Panasonic answering machine and set the providers at 12 rings and Panasonic answering machine at 4 so it picks up before.

Any ideas what is wrong ?

Ok so I unchecked MWIenable
dial tone doesn't stutter anymore
but I still get voicemail message on my phone even thought there is no messages .
I deleted message on Panasonic answering machine.

Update :

So I read on a old post to uncheck X_VMIenable
Mine was checked by default.

So far seems to work .
