I don't mean to be rude to everyone who responded to this question, but 
I think that everyone is answering the wrong question. The point is that 
the message waiting indicator doesn't light up, at all, ever. All that 
happens when messages are waiting is that the display blinks and the 
phone gives a stutter dialtone. That's it. There is no light under the 
button - there should be, but there isn't. The "blinking" phone 
designers should have put those stupid blinking red leds - that only 
flash on boot up - under the message button and flashed the display 
during boot up. But they didn't and we're stuck with it. Such is life.
