Need phone clinician!

"New Voicemail" message on my basic v-tech phones... These aren't cell phones, just phones that are portable within the house or very close by. Friends bought them because I'm convalescent

I can't remove this or answer it. The problem is that I can't access any subsequent messages left on the phone. When I try to access or delete the message, it says it is long distance and that I must dial 1 before any number I'm trying to access. Do you know anything about this, or anyone who might have a solution to this problem?

I did dail 1 before my code number, but to no avail. Otherwise,the phones work fine.

The instructions look clear, but afterwards I still have the New Voicemail message. Thanks, perhaps someone can help.

This is almost the same, although it seems to take it a step further: vtech.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000911786-Clear-voicemail-indication-IS8101-IS8151-IS8152-series

Many regular phones used as landlines have bluetooth compatibility. So what happens is the bluetooth connects to your cell phone, and then triggers a notificiation on the landline phone's screen because there is a voicemail on the cell phone it's connected to via bluetooth.
