Digital Answering Machine / Maybe not? Is that correct?

Product description on product page says that it includes up to 15 minutes of digital message space using flash memory. There might be some extra features that will allow you to use an outside voice mail service, but the answering machine functions without it.

It has an answering machine. The subscription is for special ringtones, etc.

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.

Went to the instruction book and it seems that there is a remote retrieval system for messages.So, the answer is yes.

I'd suggest resetting the time and date on the answering machine, and testing it by calling from your cell or if you don't have a cell, have someone from outside your land line call.

If it goes to answering machine it will go to the next person on your call list. does that answer ok?

On the menu one of the choices is to turn on or off the answering message. I have not tried it but assume it works.

Not really. There are addon devices that allow for this. But this is primarily for at the desk answering. But for the money this is a very good device. This is my second. The first one lasted about 9 years.

@Ken "I have found it will not allow me to dial up an automated voice message system" - this problem applied to flip phones when they were left shut. Newer phones do not have this problem. If you are still using a flip phone, leave it open!

I think so...but keep in mind that the answering machine will not work unless your cell phone is close. The phone does not work on it's own cell line...it works by land line and blue tooth from an existing cell phone.

Yes there is, next to the speaker button is an Answer button for line one and line two. push them and follow prompts to put a message on. also your telephone service provider may have an answering service available.

Yes. My mom has an answering machine that still works. I beg to differ with one of the answers. In fact, you CAN answer incoming calls with the button.

Karen - Can you record a personal greeting for the answering system? Yes indeedy!

Sorry. I don't use the machine answering system. I have a voice mail account and I use that. If you buy the phone, I am sure that the instruction manual will explain all you need to know. It's a cool set-up. I recommend it.

No. And I inadvertently erased all my calls one time. I guess I'm used to that "are you sure you want to.." prompt. But my day/time meter seems to function just fine.

I don't think so. I've used this for quite sometime and like it for a no nonsense answering machine but I don't think you have that option. However, you can "trick" it by filling the memory and then it won't record anything else but will still answer; in that case it will act like announce only.

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 think so but it's been a while since I bought it. I returned the set I received because if I answered after the machine picked up the caller was cut off. Sorry to be so little help.
