Why Does Magic Jack's Generic Voice Mail Pick Up My Phone Calls?

I have an answering machine hooked up (3 rings). It works most of the time but once in a while the voice mail picks up. What can I do to change it back to my answering machine?

Change the settings on your answering machine to pick up after 2 or 3 rings, before the magicJack voicemail picks up. (Refer to your answering machine's user manual for instructions.)
