It says on the specs that this phone has remote access to the answering machine. Does this mean that one can check the messages from a different phone such as when on vacation?

I believe one can, but the best answer I can hand you, since I'm not up for doing the research myself is for you is to go to Panasonic, find the manual for this phone, download it and check it out for yourself.

Hi Judi, I'm sorry I haven't taken the phone overseas so I'm not sure of it's utility there.

Messages are left on your cell phone in that case. Only phone calls directly to you home phone number that are not answered are left on your home phone answering machine (assuming that you have "Answering On".

I don't use the answering machine at all. I use my internet online message center so it forwards any messages to my cell phone. You can just turn it off if you like. The phone is great!

The machine comes with directions on how to retrieve your messages when away from the line the phone is connected too.

Yes, you definitely can. The only thing I have NOT been able to figure out, however, is how to make it beep when there is a message waiting to be heard. If I don't make a point of actually looking at the phone after we've been out, I end up not responding for literally hours, because I just don't realize there's a message there. pat

No...Its only an IP phone..yet with your IP carrier you will be able to record a message on the phone.

I think you are asking if you are out of your home can you call your phone to retrieve messages. Yes, you can. The phone is set with 500 as the password to your messages, but you can change this number if you choose to - check the information book for directions. What you do is dial your phone number, and when you hear your message to callers, dial 500 (or another number you may choose), and you should be able to retrieve your messages.

Sorry, but I don't use the answering system it offers, but a voicemail my phone company provides. I can of course check that from any handset. Not sure about the built in answering system and its accessibility from handsets.

I don't know. My phone service provider provides voice mail. I don't use the phones VM.

Yes, it has an answering machine that you can hear from the base station or from each of the three phones. If want to use your telephone landline provider's answering service instead of the one in the phone, you can do that too by turning off the phone's internal answering service. In either case, the phone will notify you of a message in three ways: 1) by displaying a message on the phone LCD screen, 2) by showing a blinking light on the JR key on the phone, 3) by beeping periodically (this can be turned off if not wanted)

Hi, Susan. We are very pleased with the phone and answering machine. When a person calls, the voice announces who it is from (this can be eliminated if you don't like the voice). You can also hear the voice of the person calling as they leave the message as well. Hope this helps. Best Al B.

GSM ONLY and Microsoft has turned the servers off, so all you will be able to do with it is make calls. Not even sure you can text with it.

Yes it can. You would need to dial the access number and your password and receive your messages that way.

I don't know - we have only had it a couple of months and have never looked into that feature. But we really like the phone - easy to use and easy voice mail. Maybe you could call their tech support to find out.

As far as I know and I've done extensive investigation on this matter, no. For further explanation, this phone is not GSM, it is CDMA, a proprietary system that may be more secure, but cannot be used on another carrier and cannot be unlocked. See http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407896,00.asp for further details.

Yes we can check messages, the light will be blinking on top left corner, then you just have to press the play button on right side under screen. We are having problems with our handsets not ringing and have went through sequence in manual to solve that problem. So far nothing has worked if anyone has an idea how to solve problem, would appreciate advice. Thanks
