Rating: Summary: Great machine, great price, great value Review: I bought this because I read that it has a feature to direct unknown caller ID's immediately to voicemail. Unfortunately, the word "immediately" is not true. Your phone still rings once before voicemail picks up. I REALLY want something that will cause your phone to not even ring when caller ID is unknown/anonymous. I get 10 sales calls a day. The voice quality is very average - it's understandable. Nice thing about this answering machine is that it uses flash memeory and doesn't require a battery backup.

Rating: Summary: Great machine, great price, great value Review: I have had this product for a few weeks now. I nearly didn't buy it because of a couple of bad reviews. However, I don't regret buying it for a second. It is good value for money, feature packed and easy to use.For such a low price I don't see how you can get a more comprehensive answerphone / caller ID box. I would recommend this machine to anyone. The sound quality is just fine as long as you don't turn the volume up too high, and as yet I cannot fault the machine. You'd have to pay a lot more to do much better than this.
Rating: Summary: Piece of junk! Very disapointed! Review: It is almost impossible to understand messages left on this piece of junk. I bought this a couple of months ago and just installed it a couple of days ago. Now I wish that I had saved all the purchase documents so I could return it. Oh well, live an learn. Now I'm off to find a simple machine with a tape that I know will do the job properly.
Rating: Summary: Answers with special greeting on special ring Review: On normal ring this machine answers with one greeting and on special ring it answers with a different greeting. Having 2 phone numbers on one physical line this allows to give each number it's own greeting. The only thing not described in the manual was the greeting selection button. The machine answers normal ring with the greeting you selected with this button. If you accidentially press it you also suddenly answer the normal ring with special greeting and the special ring with normal greeting. I had several power outs due to the frequent lightnings here, but the machine always kept the messages. Sound quality is o.k., like an AM radio station. Timestamp and caller ID are assigned to each message, which makes it easy to quick-scan for important messages.
Rating: Summary: Poor voice quality Review: Sounds like the worst of digital cell phones. Otherwise, good. Took mine back before the 30 days were up.
Rating: Summary: One Feature Gives It The Edge Review: This is a fine answering machine, the controls are a bit confusing at times (it took me three tries to get my message recorded correctly) but overall it does its job. But one feature sets it apart. You can set it so it answers those "unknown name unknown number" calls on the first ring. If you get a lot of telemarketer calls, this is a must-have feature. As someone else mentioned, it would be nice if the phone didn't ring at all for these calls, but it's far better than most other answering machines. Goodbye telemarketers, I don't even reach for the phone any more unless it rings twice.

Rating: Summary: Great machine Review: This machine has performed wonderfully. It was very easy to set up and use. The display is easy to read and understand. I've been using it for 6 months and I'm not disappointed at all.
