Please advise on how to use "Voicemail with BF Call Protect" with Premium Phone.
The "Quick Set-up and User Guide" does not explain sufficiently clearly for me.
I do not need to use either "Bt Call Blocking" or the Answer machine,
both of which the phone appears to have.

If you have the voicemail with call protect on your account in essence you shouldn't have to do anything as it's done at network level so should automatically work

Thank you for your reply.
The reason I asked is the following quote from the "Quick Set-up and User Guide":-
"If you're not using BT Call Blocking, and you want to use BT1571 or another voicemail service, then make sure the ring delay is set for your answer machine to answer before the voicemail service. For BT1571, don't set the ring delay to more than 5 rings. See page 38 to set the ring delay."
How does that make sense ? Surely I want the Premium Phone's answer machine not to have a chance to answer at all, and certainly not before the BT1571 voicemail service ?
