I have the same experience.  I believe it is because the telco (Telewest in
my case) does not use or provide "Disconnect Supervision".   Not being a
telecoms engineer and as I don't know one I can can't test the veracity of
this belief.  I have called Telewest  to ask them to enable disconnect
supervision but no one seemed to know anything about it.

Hi all,

 

I have an issue with my system and the phone company (Alltel).  If someone
goes into any mailbox on the server to leave a message, once they hang up on
their side the system is not detecting this and will sit there and record
until you get the standard message from the phone company "If you'd like to
make a call, please hangup and try again", which is preceded by the fast
busy tone.

 

Since I never had this problem with any of my equipment in another state, I
feel it's either the wiring in the building OR it is a problem in the phone
companies equipment.


Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  As a side note I've
tried this with a simply answering machine and it acts the same way.  

 

Thanks,

Ken
