Sorry it took this long to respond...And thanks for your quick response!!Yes, I checked again today and still can't find a decent one w/ that feature.I will give up on that feature now and get this one.p.s. Good to hear that you lived in the front range, you probably miss it now. I knowI would if I have to move. It is a beautiful place to live with surprisingly about 300 sunny days a year.

No...I can't find one, and I've given up. We have a large electronics store named Fry's in So. Calif., and they don't have one among their 25 or so different models. Guess we'll stick with our old one that does what we want!Garyp.s. I lived in Greeley for 28 years and taught at Metro State in Denver for 7 years.

Gary,Were you able to find a phone which shows number of messages?We are in the same boat, this is the only reason we have not bought thisphone yet. I am looking for a similar Panasonic model with thatcapability.Thanks,junaid

If you look in the instructions it tells you how to make the base unit beep when you have a message. Also a red light flashes and the display tells you how many messages you have. It tells you on the hand sets too (no light or beep on the handsets).

Sorry, but I don't use the answering system it offers, but a voicemail my phone company provides. I can of course check that from any handset. Not sure about the built in answering system and its accessibility from handsets.

Mine does not announce at all but it is supposed to, I use this phone at my business and will go back to Panasonic phones when this dies as the phones are not as good as the Panasonic phones I have had before.

Yes, the messages display the date and time. One other thing to note is the fact that when you see a phone number displayed, it will not display the 1- prefix and if you wish to dial it just press the 1 and press the talk button to dial the number.

No, it only announces the caller's phone number. Still a great deal for the price. I have two.

This phone the KX-TS880W does not come with an answering system.....it does come with music on hold.

I really don't know. In my house of the 26 years, I did respond to voice mails, if they happened to go to the phone rather than my AT&T; coverage. However, I am having a problem with my phone system in my rental space and I have to call AT&T; regarding retrieving the messages. My service is really messed up and AT&T; has tried to fix it, but I think it needs jands on tech support instead of turning off my internet also for periods of time. Sorry, that I am no help. I try not to buy an answering machine, but there was no choice with this phone.

I have the KX-TG4772 model and turned off the answering system by pressing the "Answer On/Off" button on the right side of the base unit. When the red light above the button goes off, the answering system is disabled. You can also use the handset to turn the answering system off. On the handset, press menu #328 to turn answering system off. To turn it back on, press menu #327. Hope this helps.

Yes, the base unit has an Answering Machine. I also purchased 3 additional Handsets for different rooms in my house. From any handset you can tell if you have a Message, and listen to it. You can also call any of the other Handsets. This is the greatest phone I've ever owned, it has so many great features.

I really don't know if other type Panasonic handsets can be hooked up to this. We didn't try.It does come with 4 separate handsets. 3 stand alone ones and the one sitting in the base station for a total of 4.Not sure if that satisfies your need for 4 or you really need 5. Also, should be able to order an extra handset here on Amazon for this phone system. If not, check other sites. When we bought this phone system, we were able to find the separate handsets here and ordered 2 extra for ourselves.Description: Panasonic KXTGA950B Dect_6.0 1-Handset 2-Line Landline TelephoneLink: Panasonic KXTGA950B Dect_6.0 2 Line Extra Handset for KX-TG95XX Series Telephones I really don't know if other type Panasonic handsets can be hooked up to this.

I also bought the KX-TG9382T with which I use 5 extension phones model "KXTGA950B". I'm sorry it only handles 5. It is a good product and additionally can be paired with multiple cell phones which then ring through all the Panasonic phones if your cell phone is not near by. Absolutely no regrets for me with this equipment.

Wish I could help you out. I sure am not a technician ! When I have a message, I press the bottom of the round dial ( like the 6 o'clock position) and it plays the message. I am connected to Comcast, and if the phone is in use when a message comes in, the light blinks, and I pick up the receiver , punch *99, and then the green talk button, and I can hear the message that was left thru Comcast while my phone was in use.You may want to call customer service at VTECH

No, it doesn't have a built in answering machine. You would need to access your voicemail through your phone carrier/provider. If you have voicemail, an envelope icon will show up on the display screen. Hope that makes sense.

do you mind me asking what system you bought that did NOT come with the answering system? i just hooked up to vonage, and i need something with lots(4) of handsets, but no answering machine. Any advice would be great! Thanks so Much!

As Stated No Answering Machine. The Phone I Replaced Would Show If Had Message. This One Does Not. Also It Is A Chore To Shut Ring Off.

Sorry can't help you. I took mine out and got a new answering machine. Didn't like this one.
