the answering machine no longer functions. it flashes, it displays caller number and records that message is waiting but unable to retrieve message.

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

That's the same problem I had. The numbers on the keypad of the phone stopped working, prohibiting me from retrieving voice mail. I got rid of the V-tech phone and bought a Panasonic. Works much better and has a "call block" feature to prevent annoying telemarketers from calling!

Maybe there is a problem with the SIM card. Maybe the SIM has shifted and is no longer making contact. To state the obvious, you have paid your cellular phone bill, right? Sometimes, electronics just die. Maybe this is what happened here.

Dear Customer,You can turn on and off the answering machine feature. There is no flashing light for a new message, only a message counter that shows how many messages you have received.Thanking you,EWO

No! And don't buy this phone if you can help it! It's difficult to set up, does not allow you to record the outgoing announcement for the answering machine and won't allow you to delete 'some' of the messages but ALL of the messages.

It has an answering machine so it will record messages. It does not record a call in progress.

I have had this happen before. A lot of times it needs to be reset, you can call the helpline and they are extremely helpful and will walk you through how to fix this.

There is a blinking light on my base unit that tells me I missed a call and I can then listen to it on my answering machine. There is no blinking light, I don't believe, if the missed call goes directly to my carrier (Comcast's) voice mail but that only happens when my own answering machine isn't able to get it.

This phone does not itself have an answering machine but is compatible with many answering machines and voice mail systems. If one's voice mail system sends the appropriate signal to this phone when a new voice mail message is stored, then the phone will audibly peep once and thereafter display a flashing light until the message is heard or cancelled.

Good morning and thank you for your question. Our system is manufactured to only ring to our emergency call center; it is unable to be re-programmed.

Yes. Go to menu; scroll up or down until you come to answering machine. Hit the menu button again and when see answering machine on showing on the screen it means that the answering machine is in fact off.

I dont know what kind of phone options you have. I know i have a answering.machine and it didnt work for me so i just did not use that feature on the unit. Still have yet to see if the sensor will work. I hope i am not out of signal range or interference . I have one sensor in the basement and the phone dialer on the second floor.

If you mean does it take messages, no it doesn't. The "Answering system" refers to the digital display, plus keeps track of prior phone numbers rec'd and calls made, but there is no voice message machine. a great phone, and will work without ac power during a power outage, too.

Yes. It tries to pronounce the name. If no name is given it says the phone number. It says 'unavailable' otherwise

Mine has never worked. Every time I call with a question I get an answering machine and a call back when I leave my info. I would love to return it

You do not hear your own greeting when the answering machine picks up, but you can hear the caller leaving the message.
