PARTNER PLUS/CENTRAL OFFICE VM ?

[buycvi]

Client has receive voice mail from the central office and wants the ability for a light to blink or light when they receive a voice mail from the central office. Is this possible?

Also. Is there any way to to shorten delay before receiving dial tone?

If you mean that a customer receives VM from a provider rather than from a Partner messenger card or VS system, then no.

As for the delay to get dial tone, that sounds like the delay that is put in to tell you you have messages.

What happens when you plug a butt-set or single-line phone into the line?

You can program a button with the dial string and password to get the CO VM

Talk to the Telco on this, but I doubt they have the ability to light a message waiting light, even on an off system analog phone equipped with a message waiting light. They probably only have the staggerred dial tone as a message waiting indicator.
As a further note, Telco(telephone service providor, local dial tone providor) voice mail incurrs a monthly service charge. Consider adding voice mail capabilities to your phone system, this cost is one time charge for installation and equipment, and also has exponentialy more features available for your usage. Including mailboxes for as many users as you want in many options, notification calls of msgs. waiting, and a myriad of other features. It could very well pay for itself in the cost savings over time, and would be unusual if it does not.

there are after market devices that will light a lamp with some types of telco VM

you would have to pull the line off before the partner system but it wouldnt be that big a deal , just give the recepioist a jack with line one before the system and plug it in
