The voicemail has to be set up through your local phone provider. These Motorola phones have aphone symbol on the phone that tells you that you have a voicemail. Your local provider should furnish the information on how to retrieve your voicemails.M. Gardner

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.

Thanks to you all for your help. I did set up voicemail but it is not working. But I'll try the trick from Jen--I'm desperate for help! The link to the manual is very kind, too. I still can't set use my NY Times subscription (the Droid app just fails and fails). Can't sign in to my Google stuff--the qwerty board refuses to appear when I'm asked for my password. Big sigh. At least I can phone out. Again, thanks to the community!

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.

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.

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.

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 bought only the "extra" handset portion of the phone to use in a spare bedroom, which, of course, does not have the answering machine function. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I didn't use the machine's voicemail because I wanted to be able to retrieve my messages from outside the office. Most providers, Comcast, Cox, Century Link allow you to access voicemail from anywhere. However, having said all of this, yes if you don't answer an incoming call while on another line it goes to voicemail whether you use the machine or your service provider's voicemail it doesn't just ring... you can set how many times the phone rings prior to it going to voicemail.

I have tried several time to contact them about a broken part, no response from them at all. Phone number listed goes into voicemail box that is full.

No, You need to buy a seperate answering machine. I bought one from P.C. Richard for $18 dollars and it worked perfectly.

To reach the phones of those not connected to the Internet, you use a SIP service (Callcentric, Voip.ms) or Google Voice. Just pick up the phone attached to the OBi and dial the number noemally, e.g. 1-212-555-1212

You have to call AT&T u-verse voicemail service,they control setting.Nothing wrong with the Panasonic KX-TG6512B DECT 6.0

I would let the number of rings for the machine to pick up be at 5 or 6. The answering service number of rings should be 3 or 4, this way the answering machine would not have the chance to pick up and you should be getting all of your voice mails through your outside contracted phone answering service. Have a nice day.

No. Most phone service comes with voicemail these days, so it's hard to find phones that include answering machines.

You need an electrical outlet because the answering machine will not work if it is not plugged in.

This phone does not have its own voice mail. You use it with voice mail from a telephone system (PBX) or with voice mail from you telephone carrier (AT&T;, Verizon, etc).
