Phone Answering Machines Are Not Obsolete
Some people, especially if they're young, might find themselves wondering why phone answering machines are even necessary. These days, leaving a message is just as easy on a cell phone and some businesses even give dedicated phones to their employees. Even if your job requires you to be on the phone at lot, you probably won't need an answering machine to begin with since you'll be there. However, answering machines do not seem to be going anywhere.
While some businesses can give their employees cell phones, there are almost as many who can not afford to. Whether for business or personal use, it's important to buy machines that will reliably give your messages.
The GE 29869GE2, while unimaginatively named, is one of the best rated answering machines around. This in large part due to its 40 minute recording time. That's a lot of messages. It even has a time stamp to back you up if you need to know what order certain messages came in. For people who get a lot of spam messages, this model can also allow you to do a quick scan of all of the messages saved so you can get to the ones you want to hear. This gives this model a big edge over some other machines. The system even has an internal battery incase your electricity goes out. Overall, it is an extremely reliable machine that you shouldn't hesitate to arm your home or company with. However, this machine is around $35, so it may be too pricey for you.
The ATT 1722 only costs $15, which makes it an affordable choice. As expected, the price is low because it can only hold a certain amount of minutes in messages. This model can only retain 19 minutes worth of messages. The upside is that it does have a power-outage protection in the form of a battery to make sure you get your messages no matter what. Remote access is definitely a plus and a reasonable need considering the purpose of phone answering machines. Unfortunately, this model does not include two-way calling, which can be a clincher. It also does not feature caller I.D.. Voice quality might also take a hit, but for the most part it is nothing that most people should be concerned with. Its real selling point is its price, which is much lower than many other answering machine models.
Phone answering machines may no longer be as needed as they were before but they are still alive and kicking in certain areas are scenarios. If you need to buy an answering machine, one of the two models presented above should definitely work for you. If they do not work the way you want, these types of machines are easy enough to find anywhere.
