With this connected to a cordless phone answering machine, are messages left on the cell phone or answering machine?

I do not use the Cobra PhoneLynx as it had too many problems. But I recall researching this before I bought one. You have to configure your cell number to take more rings than your answering machine before taking a message. This allows your answering machine to answer and take a message before your cell provider does.

It depends on how many rings you have your answering machine set to. I set mine on 4 and it always goes to the machine rather than the phone.

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.

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!

by the way, your battery drain is probably the handsfree communication module, in the back of the center console

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.

The answering system is in the base unit. Messages can be accessed from the other phones. Here is a link to Panasonic's user manual: service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG1032.pdf

We have this unit and although we do use the answering machine, it also receives voice mails and lets you know when a voice mail is waiting. The voice mail notice is in the caller ID area- you only have to glance at the phone to see it, and then go about retrieving it as usual. Good luck in your search for the right system.

Yes this is an answering machine. It will not pick up and record if someone is on the phone.

Yes. after a few seconds you will hear "this is an emergency call , please press (I forget the number). this way the machine knows you are not voice mail. If you don't answer or it goes to voice mail , it moves on to the second phone no. that you programmed

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

You may have the Answering machine turned off. On the base Look for a button that says Answer On/Off. If you push it and it says "Answer on", The answering machine will record messages. If you already had it on, then the answering machine may be broke.

This phone is battery operated but I can't tell you if the numbers will continue to be stored.

All incoming messages are captioned, so if someone calls and you are not home the message they leave is captioned.Any welcoming or outgoing messaes are not captioned.I hope this helps.

No. Messages already recorded are not lost, but the unit won't work if the power fails.

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.

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

I know that once you set the extension numbers for each phone you can set the voicemail message to list the persons name and ext. # they dial that number and the message is left on that phone only.
