hello everyone, do any of you know if this phone has an answering machine within ?

It does not; however, it is an excellent piece of equipment and performs as advertised.

No, it doesn't have. However, it allows you to access your voice mail, if your provider has this functionality.

No, it doesn't have a built in answering machine. You would need to access your voicemail through your phone carrier/provider. If you have voicemail, an envelope icon will show up on the display screen. Hope that makes sense.

I am so glad you asked, because I didn't know, so I looked and it does have an on/off for the answering machine. Cool!

There is no answering machine on this phone.We were seeking a phone without one .The people using it already had a small simple to use answering machine near the entrance of the house ,that they already use with the portable phones.The portable phones have little buttons that are hard to see when they dial. This one they keep at the other end of the house.If you have an answering machine you could add a jack splitter to add one before this .I'm sure Radio Shack, Best Buy, Walmart or Staples carries these and an employee could help you if you need help. If you need an answering machine and a phone I would choose a different phone that includes an answering machine all in one.It would be simpler and about the same price.

Answering machines generally connect to a phone line. Then, this phone could connect to an answering machine. So, yes, this phone can be plugged into an answering machine.

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

You can connect any stand alone answering machine in line with this phone just as in any other land line phone.It does not contain an answering machine within the phone.

It does not have built-in voicemail - you have to use the voicemail from your phone service provider or an external answering machine.

This model has no answering machine. I saw a model with one when I was looking but I have forgotten which. Sorry

This isn't the phone I gave a review on, the one I have does not have a speaker phone option on the main unit alone. As has been mentioned the phones themselves has a speaker option.

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.

If you mean does it work like an answering machine, I don't think so.(Disclaimer: I haven't used it in a long while: Google Hangouts / Google Voice and an OBI100 + regular wireless handset made this obsolete.)

Yes, the phone has an answering system. It can playback messages at the base or with the handset.
