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.

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

Re: How do I disable 1571?

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.

Re: How do I disable 1571?

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.
