That is normal, if you use BT 1571 answer phone, it gives a tone then blank that repeats until you dial 1571 if you have messages

You'd normally get a broken dial tone if you had any 1571 messages.
I've run a line test as a precaution but no fault has been found.

Re: long tone as if message there

A 'broken' dial tone will also be received if some kind of divert or similar facility is in place.
Try dialling *#001# ,and if any services are in operation, see here to cancel.

Re: long tone as if message there

As Gus said, this is normal.
What happens when you start dialling?
