With this phone system can you leave messages within the house on the answering machine so other family members can pick them up?

I think there is a intercom you can use, but I've never tried leaving messages on other handsets.

Yes, but I sometimes have problems with phone # 4 not making a connection and I have to take the battery out and then replace it before it will work.

Yes, the phone has an answering system. It can playback messages at the base or with the handset.

The unit I purchased has it's own answering machine. I'm not sure if it can to hooked up to another machine.

You can retrieve voice mail messages from either the base or a handset. Process is the same.

Yes! We have three hand sets and we talk to our long distance relatives so all of us can hear from them in different rooms, using speaker phone or not, with different volumes for each handset. It's great for Grandpa, my Mom, and I to use it to talk to my sister all at the same time!

You can keep any telephone number you have but you need to port it to a service provider. If you need more info email me directly. Paul

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, BUTIf you have the sibling product to this where the base station has voicemail (this is the case I'm answering "yes" to), this handset doesn't give you a way to access the messages, at least that I've found.

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.

Voice mails recorded by your company phone system will be stored in, and retrieved only from there. Likewise, messages recorded by your Panasonic answering machine base unit can only be retrieved from one of your home Panasonic phones.

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 have the main phone/answering machine. I have an additional handset in each of two different rooms. T paired them to the main unit (phone/answering machine) using the menu on the main system. My issue with the answering machine is that the message waiting beeps are very low for hearing impaired users.

No this is a regular phone so you'll need a voicemail service or answering machine (if they still exist).

as far as I know you can...it works better IF you have the internet as the size in a message is much smaller. Hope this helps:-)

Yes. I have a cordless phone with 4 handsets and a built-in answering machine. I shut off the answering machine on the cordless phone base. I plugged in the base to the Ooma and an electrical outlet. I plugged the additional handsets into electrical outlets throughout the house. When a message is left on the Ooma, all of the handsets and the base have a blinking voicemail indicator that I have a message.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

The answer is yes - "Using a touch-tone phone, you can call your phone number from outside and access the unit to listen to messages or change answering system settings." (page 41, Operating Instructions)
