Dear Joan B. Yes, that is a cordless phone pluc the answering Machine! It came with complete instructions and I'm catching on to how it works. It is really easy and I like it a great deal. Also, you can buy replacement batteries for the VTech phones on Amazon for a great price and they seem to work very well also. By the way this phone has a nice speaker phone, too! I am very happy with my choice to purchase this phone, and I'm in a wheelchair. Oh I like how the numbers on the phone light up, too!

Yes. If the person calling leaves a message it will alert you with a flashing number in the center of the charging unit. Push the top of the circle to listen, or pick up the handset and select message and it will play. You can press 3 to delete the message. Its all the operating pamphlet or you can go on line and download a full PDF instruction manual. It's really all very easy.

This is all you need. Phone & answering machine in one. Expandable too. You can add extra handsets later if you need to.

No this is simply a caller ID. It is great for the visually impaired but you would need a separate answering machine.

I have a cordless system without an answering machine. I still get my VM from my phone carrier. The speaker part is right on each handset and works very well. You can also use this as an intercom. Try looking at what Uniden has to offer. A blinking light lets you know if you have VM, then just press the envelope button and it dials up your VM automatically. I hope this helps. Pat T

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.

You could use it to make calls to any phone using third party apps like Skype or Vonage. Thanks

There is no answering machine on this phone.We were seeking a phone without one .The people using it already had a small simple to use answering machine near the entrance of the house ,that they already use with the portable phones.The portable phones have little buttons that are hard to see when they dial. This one they keep at the other end of the house.If you have an answering machine you could add a jack splitter to add one before this .I'm sure Radio Shack, Best Buy, Walmart or Staples carries these and an employee could help you if you need help. If you need an answering machine and a phone I would choose a different phone that includes an answering machine all in one.It would be simpler and about the same price.

Fax and voice calls on a single line. This feature saves the expense of separate phone lines for fax and voice calls. A built-in interface even lets you connect an external answering machine. THIS review by someone else: I also use this line with receiving phone messages and this machine is smart enough to know which is which. Highly recommend it.

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.

If you have your karaoke set up already with speakers and stuffs, then this is all you need. This thing plugs into a regular mic plug (the thick one). Needs 9volt battery.

The phone has caller ID that logs missed calls and an answering machine that has a caption feature, also the ring and headset volume are adjustable. You will need a good internet connection for the captioning feature.

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, simply press the [ANSWER ON/OFF] button to turn on or off the answering machine.

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.

I have that answering machine/phone combo and I bought that phone that you questioned and they work great together. It was several years ago, but should still work.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.
