My phone's "Global" setting doesn't list/show a "VMWI"
my phone's "Global" setting doesn't list/show a "VMWI" setting and other things I've tried that have been recommended like holding down the "Find" for 10 seconds (or more till it stops beeping) only works for an hour or so.
and unplugging the phone first or not, doesn't help either. so what to do?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Hi @a440
What is the make and model number of the phone?
Is the phone's base station connected to a telephone line or is it connected to a modem so that the service works over the internet connection?

Hi thanks for your response. The phone is Uniden "Detect" 6.0 and it is not
an answering machine -- it's a phone with 3 auxiliary phones The main phone
is plugged into my provider's router/modem (Comcast) phone outlet.
the auxiliary phones are plugged into regular electric wall outlets. I've tried all the solutions offered on this site and nothing works. My phones "global settings" don't show/offer a VMWI setting.

Hi there,
I don't know why you're not responding to my latest info I provided for you.
I could be using this platform incorrectly. I'm elderly and not as sharp as I used to be and wish I was. My phone is a Uniden DCX 150 and it is not
an answering maching. I have the base/with phone plugged into the Comcast/Xfinity modem, and 3 aux. phones plugged into reg. wall outlets
(I have the Comcast voice mail service on and I've tested it -- left messages, and retrieved them, deleted them, etc. and that works. It's just the red blinking light on all phones that won't stopping blinking -- when I press
the "find" button and listen to the repetitice 3 sets of beeps, the red blinking light goes out for an hour or so, and they mysteriously comes back on.
I have tried everything I read on this forum, EXCEPT FOR resetting the
"Scatter tones" which some people have written that has worked for them.
I don't even know how to do this,

@jayeff Hi
here's more info: I was on the phone with a Comcast tech for over an hour yesterday and the day before that (2 different techs, each went through a length troubleshooting and nothing worked, and the techs said they knew what "Scatter Tones" were, but they didn't sound certain. 2 techs on the phone call support and NO FIX. Tomorrow, I have a service tech coming to my home (the 2nd one) to try to fix the problem, when I feel certain the problem is at the Comcast system, and not anything in my apartment and my equipment. I thinking of
purchasing another phone (with auxiliary phone) but I fear the same problem will arise with the new phone and I'll just be wasting more time and money on this problem.
