How do I disable 1571?
 
Hi guys,

I'm a new customer to NTL. I picked up my phone to find an intermittant ring tone. My time as a BT customer led me to believe that I had a message on 1571! This is strange because I hadn't activated it yet!

I don't want 1571, but I activated to see what was going on. I had 5 messages! So, how do I disbale 1571 please?

Thanks.

P.S. Does it cost anything to use 1571?

Thanks

Call CS and they should be able to remove it.

It's free of charge to use.

I thought it cost a £1 a month?

In most regions you can get the basic service for free. An enhanced service (record your own greeting, change pickup time, access from other phones) is available at £1.75 a month

There is a setting in Modem Properties 'wait for dial tone before dialling' just make sure it is not checked. That will solve your problem.

I think j52c is pointing out the way round an intermittent dial tone preventing a modem ringing out (I used to have this problem), but I don't think this was what the poster was concerned about.
