• How can one with a mailbox cause it to say therere is no mailbox?

    From micky@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 21 17:46:05 2024
    Last night my furnace stopped working and around noon I called an oil
    company and they took m y message and 15 minutes later, a repairman
    called. He said 3 or 3:30. I was sitting in the kitched starting
    before then, only a few feet from the door, and my phones were on set at maxiumum volume.

    Finally I checked my window shade and it said voicemail and he called to
    say he was at my door but I didn't answer.

    I called back and left a message on his voice mail. Then I thought of
    more to say and 10 minutes later I called again. This time, and 5 times
    there after, I immedialy got a message" the person you are tying to
    reach has not set up his mailbox yet." How can that be?

    Finally I thought to call him from my home phone and the call went
    through normally and I left a message.

    So maybe he's mad at me for not being there (although I think it just as
    likely he was tired on a cold Saturday and didn't even come to my
    house), but he could set his phone to DND, or block my number, or read
    who's calling and not answer. But how could he cause the system to say
    he has not set up his mailbox???? Do we have that power?

    I haven't looked up his provider yet, but I will if you think it makes a difference.

    My phone doesn't have voicemail.

    But probably your provider.

    Well, of course, I disabled it. We call it voice mail box.
