Do I need to pay for Plusnet Voicemail if I have a stand-alone answering m/c?
For some reason voicemail(1571) is showing on the account, but the call feature isn't actually on the line, so the home phone control panel will be a little misleading at the moment. I'll make sure this is updated.
In regards to the actual problem you're experiencing, I don't believe it should rely on the voicemail service we can provide as that would defeat the point of it being built in to the phone handset.

A BT Paragon? If it's the model 200 or 400, there's user guides for those two here (abut 2/3rds the way down the page):

Might help with setting an OGM aswell as enabling the answering & recording function...

Always wanted one of those cars! Thanks for your help with the online manuals, but I already have the paper booklet and have tried to programme the OGM feature so that callers can leave a message, but it won't hold that setting, so assume device is faulty. Anyway from the above you'll see that I'm happy with PN's basic version.
Plenty 2CVs on ebay (though getting more expensive year on year, they're classic cars now!!)...
As for the phone, could be a battery inside that's failed, it's usually the downfall of such devices, replaceable though if you're hand with a soldering iron...
That said I'm not a fan of answering machines (be they a free operator-provided one or one kept in the home) these days, nobody leaves a message, and if they hang on the line long enough, Mr. Dialtone or Mrs. Number Unobtainable Tone leaves a message instead, makes a TAM somewhat pointless...
Once the account has updated to show it's not actually active you should be able to add it via the member centre Here.
Earlier today I opted to update the account rather than the line as I assumed you wanted to use the built in answer machine on your phone (Providing you could get it working at some point). If 1571 is active on the line, it's likely it would intercept the call prior to the built in system, so the built in system won't actually work if the 1571 system is also active.

Apologies for any confusion previously, when I said it would take 24-48 hours to update, this was regarding the incorrect information on your account showing that voicemail was active. This has now updated and it shows voicemail is not on the line.
If you now log in to your account, you should be able to request for the call feature to be added through the home phone control panel Here. Once requested to be added, it can take up to 1 working day to active on the line.
