A:AnswerHi,
Yes, you would still need to have a phone line to get it working. Not unless you just plan to use it as a copier which the machine can do without a phoneline.
Hope this helps,
A:AnswerThe KX-FP205 is compatible with an answering machine. Just connect an external telephone answering machine and set the ring count of the answering machine to less than 4 rings and set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode of the fax machine to “5 EXT.TAM”. Doing this procedure will allow the answering machine to still record messages and the fax to receive documents without a problem.
A:AnswerHi,
Sorry but the KXFP205 doesn't have that feature. The speaker phone feature is commonly found on our models which has a built in answering machine.
Hope this helps,
