Voice messages to my phone are left on my physical phone, not my vonage account. What do I do?

Question

Just got vonage, and the vonage voicemail worked initially. Bought a new phone and programmed a message for it, but now the messages are left on it and not my vonage account. Through vonage i can access the messages from anywhere, so I'd prefer having them be left on it. Any suggestions?

You gotta turn off your phone's answering machine. If it's a GE, there's usually a button for it. If not, look at your phone's manual.
