“If we use Charter phone with voice mail can I disable the answering machine function ? Do I just plug the main base phone jack into my modem? Do the other 3 handsets have only a power cord or a phone jack?”

Just a power cord
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I cant tell you about CHarter specifically but I have cable and also the voice mail that comes with it and it is able to be turned off completely since you really don't need to be checking your voice mail and the answering machine but if you are too busy to get to it it works fine with both as well. It will show you if you have answering machine messages the red light flashes and press the flashing red button it will allow you to listen to old and/or new messages. For my system with Comcast I need to dial my number to get Comcast voice mail and they give prompts on what to press next to listen to your voice messages and after you may save them or delete them. You will also see who called and didn't leave a message on your missed calls id and then leave them on or delete them. As for the other handsets that is correct they just have the power cord to plug the charging base into an electrical outlet but no phone jack. This is great for enabling you to put an extension phone wherever you want even if there isn't a phone jack in the room i.e. a porch or probably would work in the basement though I haven't tested that. Or put it in a laundry room wherever you want you can put it or just carry the cordless with you if you don't want to leave it in the room permanently.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can answer the question about charter voicemail. You can disable the voicemail on the phone and utilize the charter voicemail. you have to plug the main base into a phone jack. The handsets have just an electrical plug.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can disable it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes and yes. I use Charter and have the base phone jack plugged into the Charter modem. The other 3 handsets only need electrical outlets for their chargers. The instructions that come with the phone system describe how to disable the answering machine so you can just use your voice-mail. I should note for other readers that this is an ideal setup for houses that have problems with their house phone wiring, as it completely bypasses it. ( And,no, I don't work for Charter, LOL ) "Hope this helps.
