Remove all option on voice mail

Actually I was just teasing - but I thought the BS-Meter graphic I put in after Brendan's post was a nice jab......
And yes my service had also become unusable.

As for Voipo, I am not having the Voice mail issue that you described but I am going to keep my eyes open to see if I experience that same behavior you have described.

When I was with VT, the service worked so poorly that you couldn't tell if the features worked or not.

With VOIPo, the phone service works as it should....I can talk and listen.

For me, the VM works perfectly...I walk over to my answer machine, push a button and listen to my collected calls..

I was successful in getting my wife to accept VOIP over the years, but I haven't succeeded beyond that. What do you expect after 51 years of togetherness?

It's hard to be a physical answering machine for simplicity, and for screening calls

Plus all modern answering machines let you call in remotely to retrieve messages.

Mine certainly does this as well as allowing me to screen or access it from any handset in the house.
What, you think I have a 20 mile extension cord when I go out?
