Last week I asked about MWI indicators on wireless phones that would work with Asterisk. I sent a message off to Panasonic asking them about it because in their ads they specifically stated that the indicator works with and requires phone company voicemail subscription. The is the model TG5631. Specs here... http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-KX-TG5631S-GigaRange-Cordless-Answering/dp/B000F4C2CA and this was the response.... Go figure! Dear MR CROMPTON Thank you for contacting Panasonic. The purpose of the message button of your phone system is to inform you that you have new messages in your answering system. That indicator will not work for your voicemail. We do not have any phone system that has a message alert indicator that will work both for your voicemail and your answering machine. We hope this information is useful to you. Thank You, Panasonic Consumer Support

I need to buy some analog cordless phones, and that one was on my list. Now I can scratch it off. If it helps, I have an AT&T cordless that does have a working MWI indicator. The model is 9345. It's one of their very low-end basic models, so I'm guessing the better models would support MWI, too. - Noah
