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.

No, there is no answering machine, just plain cordless phone and this is what I need because my phone line is shared with my fax machine.

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.

Yes, that is why I have it. Most advertisers don't say a word after they realize that there is an answering machine.

It is a 4 line phone. Not an answering machine. If your speaking of the intercom on it there is a volume control on top of the phone. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) button.

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

We have no problems with the answering machine. The SK642 has already worked well for us. We lost power in a storm and the SK642 phoned us. We feel it worked as expected.

Sorry - don't know what to tell you, I have never had any difficulty with my answering machine. I think I'd return the system, as it sounds like it is defective.

Answering service or machine will work just fine if set up according to the directions. I haven't tried calling the system, it usually initiates the calls.

phone service providers have voicemail. This phone has an answering machine built in.

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.

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.

The previous answer is correct. This is not a sophisticated phone system. It's just a quality cordless phone with a "slave phone". You can hook up an answering machine as you would a conventional phone.

I am not sure. What I am sure of is that no one can hear me when I talk. I have attempted to Contact them several times with no answer
