Just got a Siemens cordless phone, but it keeps asking for a number to set the voicemail up, anybody know the number please.
TIA

Do you mean the Telefónica answering service or some kind of integrated answerphone within the telephone? The Telefónica default is 0000 and if it is the telephone handset itself that is asking for it this should be shown in the instructions.

We have a Domo, but thought we would get a cordless.
The answerphone works on the domo so I know it is working ok, but the new phone is asking for a number, I have tried 0000 but no luck on the 1 button as per manual, just beep beep.

On the phone screen when I press the message button it says Netw.MBX 00+** if I press OK it dials up but no answer, maybe I should try putting that in the 1 button, or it could be 00+00 but I can`t get a + in it, there is one on the 0 button also, but only goes to 0`s.
This is the manual bit on it.... confused.... so am I. lol

I don't think you need to do anything.

Once the Telefonica system is switched on at the exchange all you need to do is pick up the phone and wait for a few seconds. The answerphone will then switch in and tell you if you have any messages.

On the Domo phone you could switch the service on and off using the special buttons. If you want to turn it on and off with the new phone then get dialling tone and key *10# for on and #10# for off.

Fred is correct, pick up the phone and wait. I think we can also press 3 and wait.

That is what I thought, but read what it says in my other post link, I have to set it up, but when I put in *10# it just gets engaged tone.

Fred James

When I do that it just reverts to dial tone after you have keyed in the sequence.

Thanks for the help Fred, but still no luck so it`s going back and I will get one online from Telefonica. ;-)

friends of ours bought a non-telefonica cordless phone....it turned out it wasnt possible to set it up with the telefonica answering voicemail system for some reason

perhaps you could ask in the shop where you bought it ?

Maybe I'm simply confused but ... we have Panasonic cordless phones dotted around the house. We also have a fixed telephone from telefonica (duomo?) in one of the bedrooms.

We never use the fixed phone but check for messages on the cordless ones all the time. This works fine! The only down side is that on the fixed phone, the light flashes red when a message is there - we don't have that facility on the cordless ones.

I queriered that with the 3 assistants I spoke to as when i looked at the tags to the phones where they tick what they can or can`t do.
A lot had the message button but some said they did get answer machine and some said they didn`t.
This one needed a code put in to access it although it is set up in Telefonicas exchange and should be picked up by any phone on the system.
I spent a while trying different numbers in it and after getting the emergency service a couple of times gave up and have taken it back for a refund, thanks everyone for the help.

yes we had a Philips cordless that worked fine with the Telefonica answering system......I assumed all phones would work but obviously not

Just an update.
Took the expensive one back and got a €14.99 one, plugged it in got a dialing tone, waited a few seconds and got the messages .

What make and model did you get jdr? I´d like a cheap phone that I can take into the garden.

It`s a Sagem D16T on special offer in Wortens used to be Boulangers.
Good sound on it too, no fading or cutting out.
