In the last month I have placed at least a dozen calls to verizon repair with no results. I get sutter dial tone when I have a message waiting but NO visual Rapid Flashing lamp. This is serviced by a northern Telcom DMS switch in Madison NJ. I remember in the old word of 1A and 1E switches that they had to have a orignating bit marked in the programing. These days you can't get anybody that will talk to you. This problem is on 2 sets on the same line the other sets do not have new call or message waiting. The new call lamp does work. All words of wisdom are welcome.

When the line was ordered there are two types of delivery of the signal, the one you have is "stutter tone". The other with the light must be specified when ordering or can be changed. Push them for it.
However, The message waiting light is not always available in all areas.
