It's probably made by the same Chinese company that made the cheap GE 
and Sanyo cordless phones I am using.  Whenver your Sipura (I assume) 
sends the refresh message to turn VMWI off, the phone will display this 
message for 60 seconds.

Change your refresh to something like 3600 (1 hour) to be reduce the 
frequency of refresh messages.
