Hi Ray, I've just checked 1571, no way of linking to mobile from there. It
doesn't offer you anyway of setting it up, can you be more specific?
Regards.
Jim.

Subject: [access-uk] BT Answer 1571 Linked Mobile Service - and, Can you
circulate messages by phone?
Bt's 1571 has been able to link to your mobile number to alert you to 1571 messages for a little time now. Bt have made turning on this service available via 1571 itself, and those having the service already should have got a message from BT telling them how to enable this feature, and its quite straight forward, all being done from the phone keypad. (I'll put a link to more about this service at the end of this message, but that only describes how to do it via the internet.)
I wonder though, is there any service, landline or mobile, that gives you the option of leaving a message only, rather than waiting for the phone to be picked up first? in other words, the option to leave a message and NOT have the call intercepted by the phone being answered.
I ask this because I've had the situation recently where an organisation has wanted to circulate its print impaired users with details of forthcoming election of officers. Traditional arrangement is to record a short tape and circulate it. What a fag! Wouldn't it be so much easier to circulate the voice equivalent of an email via the phone? That way you could much more effortlessly get to those people who don't have computers or access to email, and quite a few haven't got a computer still.
Here's the URL to the info I've tracked down about linking 1571 to your mobile:
