Thanks Trevor, you are right on all counts.
The phone is made in China :-) and increasing the refresh rate in Sipura
solves the problem but If I have a message the "Message Waiting"
disappears after 60sec as well.

The * emits single ring when there is a message (I think every 30min I
think); do you know which file control the minutes interval the phone
rings when there is a message?
