Best Answering Machine I have Ever Owned
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is a reliable and easy to use answering machine. I have owned one for many years. I recently bought a second one as I was having incoming calls cut off after two rings. It turned out to be the phone company that was creating this problem and not the answering machine. I will keep the second machine as a backup and troubleshooting tool for any future phone issues.

Digital Answering Machine
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The digital answering machine worked as expected. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Sound quality could be a little better, but for the very low price the sound was adequate. Playing messages back at lower volume helps the sound quality. Messages left from land lines appeared to sound better than messages from cell phones.

No more robo calls
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Finally had enough of the harassing calls and robo calls. They can talk to the machine. The number of calls has been cut in half after just 3 weeks. Phone only rings 3 or 4 times a day instead of 8 or more times. Hopefully in time I will only get legitamate calls for me. So far they just hang up.
