can you use with an answering machine?

I'm not sure. I haven't seen separate answering machines in a long time. The only answering machines I've seen lately are the ones attached to cordless phones. But if you have this phone plugged in one outlet, and answering machine in a separate outlet, I think it should work. I have this phone (the silver) and a cordless phone/answering machine, and the answering machine still picks up.

I don't have it connected to an answering machine but I don't see why not. The phone only has one connector wire though so if the phone goes to the machine and the machine to the jack, then that should work. If the phone has to go to the machine AND the jack, then no, not enough wires/ports.

I purchased this answering machine for my parents. We are using with their cordless phone system and it works wonderfully.

You can connect any stand alone answering machine in line with this phone just as in any other land line phone.It does not contain an answering machine within the phone.

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, it is the same handset that comes with the answering machine. It has both functions you asked about.

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!

It is for my parents as a gift from me. I just know what they tell me. They said the answering machine is good quality sound. They don't use hands free I don't think.

Yes. You can hook it up to an answering machine just like you would any other phone.Of course, you can always use voice mail if you want. However with a standard answering machine just plug it in like any other phone.

Your comment is inaccurate. Although it is not possible to use this phone with a fax machine, it is very possible to use VOIP service to send and receive faxes. There are lots of VOIP compatible fax machines on the market, just not yet to consumers, mostly the small to large business market.

No, that hand set does not have an answering machine included. The phone with the two handsets does. It is a great combo with large dial keys and adjustable sound to loud...

We use the Verizon answering service, so I can't say for sure. My guess is you plug the answering machine into the ringer, then the phone into the answering machine.

Mine would not work with a answering machine, the machine would not pick up and the dialer would not dial out. Here is the phone # of ideal customer service 1-800-361-2236 ex230 maybe they can give you more information

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.

I fon't know if it works with a digital service. My father preferred an answering machine, so we bought a Clarity answering machine for him.

Yes it has an answering machine, or you can shut it off and use the phone companies voice mail = whatever works best for you. The base unit and the extension phones can be wall mounted or used on a table.
