Stated above is the BB description of a "digital Answering system", the reason I purchased the phone in the first place. I bought it as an all in one system for my mother as a gift a few weeks ago to give today. When setting it up, I poured over the instructions for about an hour trying to figure how to set up the answering machine & there was none. The conversation in trying to return a phone that wasn't as promised was painful. Moral of the story, understand that there is a 15 day window from time of purchase; don't buy gifts unless you're giving them that day & your gift recipient tries out said gift in front of you!
What's not so great: I purchased this as a gift because it had a digital answering machine
