How does the answering system perform? Any input would be appreciated

It works great. Auto attendant, auto answer, remote call in control and retrieval, business hours recognition. Very adaptable. As an aside, I bought a bunch of these and have several I am trying to sell. They are barely used, like new. Let me know if you are interested.

The few times I've had to use it I recall hitting the key a few times to get the system to respond (I tested it standing next to it and having it call my mobile phone). I don't think you will have a problem.

Pretty much none. Mine broke and i left several messages on their answering machine with no response. Maybe that changed since my experience who knows but i would call their customer service number first before buying.

Yes, it's got quite a good answering machine. Surprisingly, considering all the hype about volume controls and equalizer, the telephone sound quality is not that great. In fact it's less than adequate.

What I can tell you is that I have used this phone system for over a year without a single problem. I did a little research, and this is the system that best fit my needs at the time--and I was not disappointed. Hope this helps, Chuck

On the menu one of the choices is to turn on or off the answering message. I have not tried it but assume it works.

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.

Yes, you may input your answering message. You need to enter numbers at least once-we have had no difficulty with the function.

If you select another unit and call it, it becomes voice-activated so that the callee can answer from across the room. This mes and the system reverts to the default (not voice activated) in a minute or so.

It depends on the type of phone you are using. I just still used the handset to answer or hang up the phone. It was unplugged from the phone, but it still worked to answer and hang up.

I bought 2 and they are working just fine so far, however, I do not use them too often. I suggest that you get a hold of the company and present them with your questions. I have found that they are usually very cooperative and helpful.

I've talked to several people while using it and have zero problems. No one knows I have my headphones on. No complaints. You can answer and hang up from the hanging button thingy.

The one that it is showing does have an answering system. I already had an answering system so I ordered the expandable plug-in for another extension but it wouldn't work so had to send it back.

I would not give this phone a 1 star rating or a 5 star rating. Mostly because it is nether better or worst then other answering machines I have had over the years. It just does a good job at what it does. Some of the features are nice to have but in the long long I just use it similar to what you asked about. The message is clear and the incoming call is clear and that's all I really need.

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.

If I understand your question, I think this answering machine is so basic that it doesn't do any fancy moves. I only need a simple machine, so I suspect you can't do what you are wanting.

Will definitely answer calls, volume and skip track fictions don't work. Again not a problem if you can adust the volume button on your phone. Call quality pretty good, not as good as my bose in ear. But the sound quality with music the best I've heard. Was wrong about the volume adjust, sorry.
