You can set the freephoneline to pick up after 5 rings and your own answering machine to pick up before that.

I found the freephoneline voice mail is pretty good, I can copy and forward the voice mail to my email, to me, it is a very good feature to use.

I'm testing FPL. It seems that all voicemails are emailed instantly to my e-mail ONLY, which I retrieve on my cell phone. How would I set it so that the voicemail STAYS on my home phone and a COPY of it is sent to my e-mail?

EDIT: Disregard. I've figured it out. I had it set to "Forward" instead of "Copy" to email

Mine is working perfectly.

Calls don't go to voicemail? Calls go to voicemail but people can't leave messages? You can't pick up voicemail?

Mine works fine.
If you have Follow Me enabled, disable it while testing to ensure you're not reaching some other voicemail system: https://www.freephoneline.ca/followMeSettings.

For testing purposes, try calling one of these Voice Mail Access numbers from a landline: https://www.freephoneline.ca/vmAccessNumbers.
You account number begins with 1.

Also, try calling your FPL number from a landline.

You can adjust some voicemail settings by logging in at https://www.freephoneline.ca/voicemailSettings.

BTW, FPL, like Fongo Mobile, works well with incoming faxes once the voicemail system picks up. Incoming faxes are automatically converted to PDF file format for easy viewing.

Are you saying if someone tries to send me a fax by dialing my number, after no answers and voicemail kicks in, and the fax will be sent through and converted to pdf attachments in email?

Yes, if you have voicemail to email enabled (forwarded) for FPL

With Fongo Mobile, you can see the PDF directly in the app without loading email. That's one of the few uses I have for Fongo Mobile.

I have had this setup for years and never knew this. I'll give it a try, thanks.
