Calling Features guide

1571 – Allows voice messages to be left

You'll hear an interrupted dial tone when you pick up the phone if you have a new message. Dial 1571 to listen to your messages. 

Once you’ve listened to your message, you'll be given the option to replay, save or delete it. You can also listen to your currently saved messages. If you reach your voicemail limit (10 for standard voicemail), callers will not be able to leave any new messages. You should delete any unwanted messages to free up some space.

More advanced versions of this service are available if you would like to create your own message or pick up messages while you’re not at home. Please contact the service team on 01608 434 000 option 2 for more information.
