Answering machine?

Question

I have just installed a new phone in my home and it has a message machine. Before that I just had a phone and all my messages were transfered to a place that I had to call to be able to listen to them. The problem is that now, even though I have the answering machine they still get transfered, how can I fix that?

Answer 1

Ask your phone service provider to extend the number of rings for your voicemail.  If not, lessen the number of rings on your phone so it picks up before your provider's voicemail.
