Is this phone compatible with voice mail? I subscribe to voicemail from the phone company. No answering machine.

It is my understanding that since you have to pay extra for voice mail from the phone company ...it is added toyour wire service coming in and will intercept your calls after so many rings.. then your phone will beep whenyou pick up the receiver to let you know you have a message(s). To be sure ..just call the phone company and ask them if having a plain touchtone phone is all you need for their voice mail system to work. Voice mail has been around longer than these newer fancy phones.

I actually have an answering machine, but I don't see any reason why it would not be compatible with voicemail. Good luck!

Short answer: Yes.Clarification: Voice Mail services from the phone company usually require that the phone be a touch tone phone, not rotary. This is a touch-tone phone, but otherwise, it is just a simple phone. No bells and whistles. No Digital functions. No Caller ID. Just wired handset, numeric touch-tone tone keypad (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,*,0,#), and (very loud) ringer. It's basically the same phone that the phone company would have issued before the breakup in 1984. Those phones still number in the tens of millions and are fully compatible with all phone company's traditional analogue touch-tone based phone services.

I have the cetis scitec 2554e red phone. It has one feature. The receiver tone has a high and low switch. That is it. It's just a simple red phone. If you want more, this is not the phone for you M. Holland 4/9/14

No it doesn't . It has a very soft ring than you would not hear unless you were withwon 10 feet of it.

This is a great phone; however, it is not compatible, to my knowledge, with verizon voicemail.

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.

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.

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.

If you keep the screen clear of missed calls it will show voice mail on the screen. This is the only thing I do not like about this phone. It is a base model with not many bells and whistles. However for the price it is satisfactory. A phone plain!!

No, I use the same phone line and with my answering machine. Hope this helps.

I have cable phone service and caller ID works. I do not use the voicemail function however, so I don't know if it works well.

I keep the Panasonic right next to my computer, no issues. Don't know about the answering machine, I use voice mail. I do not use the outlook feature. I am running a home based business with this phone. The cordless handset has a clip that I find very convenient.

Voicemail box is included with the service or you can chose to use a answering machine instead. These calling features are included also at no charge: 3-way calling, call waiting, call forwarding with no per minute charge if activated, caller number ID. My at&t box works perfect with clear calls. I would highly recommend going with at&t, no complaints.

Yes, it does have voicemail...it is a very good phone not just for the price but also for the quality of sound.

thanks for the info, but it acts as though I am just another caller, when I get to voice mail...when do you add the pin code to get access to voicemail??? I am a newbie to Tracfone, and really like this phone...but have always had a phone, where accessing voicemail was free and easy.TIA

You will need to get this information from your cell carrier. I use AT&T; and voicemail pretty much just happens once you've done the initial setup.

No this is a regular phone so you'll need a voicemail service or answering machine (if they still exist).

I don't use the answering machine at all. I use my internet online message center so it forwards any messages to my cell phone. You can just turn it off if you like. The phone is great!

No, but not a problem for us. Calls we can not answered are forwarded to our Verizon voice mail.

I have never had to use the answering machine as I have MagicJack, which has its own voicemail. The caller ID does talk though, which is nice.

I haven't tried to set up voice mail on my wife's phone. You will need to talk to the net 10 technicial support for this answer. Sorry I couldn't help. Robert
