When we had a BT line we would occasionally find that our answerphone (party of our main handset) would not take a message or two and people would end up on the BTAnswer1571 thing. It turns out this only happened when our line was deemed to be 'busy', which included times when someone else was leaving a message on our main answerphone. The giveaway that we had a 1571 message was that the dialing tone would be 'broken' - of course, we rarely listened to the dialing tone, we would just dial away so we could have missed a lot of 1571 messages that way.
