Summary: Bad machine
Review: Everyone who has written in is correct. This is not a good machine. The first one I got did not work, so I figured it was a lemon. I exchanged it. The second one worked for a month or so and then lost its ability to play back complete messages remotely. It just cut out part way thru message, but message(s) was/were there when I got home. ATT has now sent me a third machine and it is set up. Figure I have a month to decide what to purchase next. I too would score it a "zero" if only I could.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy this!
Review: Have had it for 4 months; finally gave up and got rid of it. Very, very poor sound quality ... difficult to understand messages left. Also no battery backup.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor Voice Quality
Review: Poor voice quality. You have to go more expensive for good digital voice quality. The 1717 model was better. If you want a good digital inexpensive one, find the 1717 model.

Summary: Garbage - Deserves a Zero Rating
Review: Record an announcement, but don't expect it to play clearly. Breaks, static, you name it. All the other reviews are correct.

Summary: Bad machine
Review: The sound is horrible. Messages are saved when someone calls, but they can't be retrieved. Remote anwering codes quit working. A piece of junk.

Summary: Bad Answering Machine
Review: This answering machine is no fun. While most answering machines have two phone jacks in them, this machine only has one. The cord to connect the answering machine to the wall is integral to the unit. So if you want to put the unit more than six feet away from the wall, you'll have to buy a coupler to hook it up to the long phone cord you already have.

Also, there is no way to determine whether there are any stored messages on the machine without touching it. This is inconvenient. Instead of buying this product, see if you can still find an AT&T 1717 on the market. I don't know why AT&T discontinued it. It was a lot better than this model.

Summary: the rating is really a "0"
Review: This is the worst machine I have ever owned, would have given it a "0" rating but the rating scale won't let a person rate the low. It worked fine for the first month, but into the second month after that the messages became garbled and and progressively worse intill you could not understand the messages at all,it seemed like the more messages I recieved the worse it became. I deleted the messages to make sure that the machines mailbox wasn't just too full, but that was to no avail. This was in a three month time period. I don't know how well the remote feature worked for I never needed to use it. I would save the money and buy a different brand, unless you love the sound of people under water..hehe.
