I have no messages but my 1571 green light keeps flashing
The 1571 green light on your BT Decor 2200 may be flashing even when there are no messages because the phone has not registered that the voicemail has been checked. Some devices require setting the time and date to function correctly. Additionally, the phone may need a manual reset by pressing certain keys or waiting for the network to update.
