Are you sure? It isn't technically necessary to go off-hook to detect
message waiting as there is a message waiting facility message as part
of the SIN which can be sent by the exchange independently of any
incoming call (ie no need for the phone to actually ring). Whether
this is supported by BT in real life, I don't know.
