I have just got myself one of these and everything works fine with one
exception. There is an LED that should illuminate when there is a callminder
message waiting. I assume that this is intended to work by detecting the
distinctive dial tone. It does not work. Could this be a broadband
filtration problem? Any constructive suggestions on how to resolve this
apart from getting the phone replaced?

I think it depends on BT sending the "message waiting" flag as a SIN227-type
message. They only (presumably) do this when you get (or discharge) a new
message, so if your machine doesn't receive that, the exchange won't know,
and your machine will be none the wiser.

According to the manual, it checks 1 minute after use and
every 30 minutes thereafter, indicating on the display while
doing this. It must be an "off-hook", dial-tone check. The
user should watch for the indication after a call.
The user should also listen for the stuttered dial-tone.

Thanks for that Richard. Are you saying that this should happen as a matter
of course or do I need to get BT to enable something? I go nowhere with the
two BT droids I communicated with.

I don't know. I've never used it or the equipment that you have. I
am only surmising how I think it *should* work if everything is set up
as it should. Perhaps you have to subscribe to Caller Display as well
(the mechanism by which the MW flag is sent).
Perhaps we should wait until someone with suitable facilities to decode
the SIN227 stream pops up in this newsgroup, to see if the MW flag
does get sent. I'd do it myself but I don't have the facilities any more.
