Hi there

I've just had a second NTL phone line installed and had the 1571 service activated. I have a fairly decent cordless phone attached but it has no answer machine etc.

So, I would buy a new phone but really it would be nice to have everything via 1571, especially since it takes voicemail whilst engaged also.

Just wondering if there is any way to get a little more control over the service, like recording my own announcement, configuring the number of rings it picks up after etc. It seems to pickup after 6-7 rings, seems reasonable but would be better to reduce, even put voicemail permanently on whilst out.

When I had it activated the NTL CS person said the only difference of the paid version is that it allows you to check your voicemail remotely by dialling in.

Is there anything else the paid one does, also how much is it, is it worth it?

Cheers
