It depends how your phone is set up. I would say in most cases, yes. The amplifier is connected between the phone base and the handset (corded phone). So, anything you listen to via the handset, ie. messages, people talking, etc., can be amplified. However, if your answering machine is loudspeaker only, then no, it will not work. The amp is not made for phone loudspeakers.

I have an answer machine hooked up to another phone on the same line and it works just fine. My phone service, through my cable company, provides answer service. The phone displays the numbers that call, so it is easy enough to return missed cals.

Ours did, but the photo of this one is different--I don't think this one does. It should say "answering system" or something like that, and you should be able to see the extra buttons that operate the answer portion. Also, the price on this one ($29.99) suggests it's just a sound-amplifying phone, not an answering system. Hope that helps.

The base unit that I bought (came with 3 phones: 1 at the base station, 2 phone-only stations) does have a built-in answering machine. You can buy nearly the same system *without* an answering machine. The price difference was so little that we got ours with it. Note that this listing is for the additional phone-only station--requires a base station to work.

Nope just a simple push button phone. You can hook an external answering machine to it.

No it does not. You want the KX-TS4300B which is the same phone with answering machine.

Yes it has an answering machine, or you can shut it off and use the phone companies voice mail = whatever works best for you. The base unit and the extension phones can be wall mounted or used on a table.

Not sure of your question. This device (which I actually bought for my father-in-law in a distant city) is "broadcasting to" a base phone unit with an answering machine built in - and the answering machine works fine. The phone number that it is programmed to ring is a cell phone with NO voice mail capability, so I don't know whether an "answering machine" on the receiving end would have problems or not as we haven't tried it. I would think it would work ok.

Yes it does, it comes with a plug that you can hook up if you want the caller ID to work.

I used to use mine with an old ATT answering machine and it worked fine. I now have voicemail with MagicJack, so don't use the answering machine anymore.

If you mean does it take messages, no it doesn't. The "Answering system" refers to the digital display, plus keeps track of prior phone numbers rec'd and calls made, but there is no voice message machine. a great phone, and will work without ac power during a power outage, too.

Yes, it does. We used it for a while then switched to using our provider's voice mail instead.

Mine would not work with a answering machine, the machine would not pick up and the dialer would not dial out. Here is the phone # of ideal customer service 1-800-361-2236 ex230 maybe they can give you more information

Yes. I have mine "in from wall jack to answering machine" out from answering machine to phone jack."

This unit is made to work with an office/home desk phone. You may also want to purchase the 'lifter' so that you can answer the phone thru the headset.

Yes if you have a separate answering machine or voice mail service which automatically picks up after a designated number of rings (even though you don't hear them). This phone does not have an integral answering machine
