New Voicemail System

When I've listened to VM the past couple of days, the voice prompts that give the date and time have been rather garbled and a bit mixed up. Not a dealbreaker but thought you might want to know.

Yes I just noticed that... I don't usually give the time stamp much attention. It is at times garbled a bit. Perhaps the timing needs adjustment. I am sure it is on the to-do list.

I had a big problem with VM today when trying to leave my wife a message.

Three times I stopped briefly to collect my thoughts, and boom - end of recording and it is playing it back to me. Once, I didn't even stop talking I don't think. I had to re-record the VM 3 times and on the 4th try I just said screw it and told her to call me.

That whole "just stop talking" thing needs to go away (please).

Minor Problem: Can it be setup so it doesn't automatically play back the message to the person leaving it? That bugged me. I just wanted to leave the message, not double the time I need to do so, or in this case, sextuple the time.

I finally figured out that hitting # made that go away but that may not be intuitive to the average jamoke leaving me a message.

That is one thing I mentioned as an irritant in an earlier post. It first happened to me like it did you, but I have had a couple of times where it cut other people off. What I get in the voicemail is a partial message, with a call back shortly after with the person saying "don't know what happened, but your machine cut me off before I was done..." that sort of thing.

Or make the pause thing work after exceeding 120 seconds ...

Also have a maximum message length (range) settable by the user on vPanel.
I do not need a 5 minute political recorded message.

(I see the 286 still does not clear message indicators too.)
