    Alot of manufacturers have manuals on their websites for electronic equipment like this. Sadly, it appears that NTL isn't like the rest. If it had been a BT branded device, you would probably find the document you're after on BT's site.

    However, a Google reveals that other people are in the same boat as you. See this post on Cable Forum. ;)

    Hi we have the exact same phone as you.

    press the clear/ mute key
    then press 8
    then press clear mute again

    the answering machine should be off. do the same to turn it back on.

    post back if you need any more help

    And the manual which you thought had disappeared hadn't.

    I found it in cyberspace - HERE.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • Thanks Heinz, you've saved me a lot of hassle by directing me to the manual in cyberspace
