I have an old Casio digital answering machine. It's been a good machine, unlike the 1/2 dozen old cassette answering machines that died after 2-3 years of use.
There are some features that I want it lacks though:
1) It has a really short memory (recording) time - about 10 minutes? I'd like to get a machine with double that time or longer, since some of my friends can leave 5 minute messages even though I keep telling them to keep it short!
2) This machine does not allow you to delete individual messages remotely. This is a must since I'm away from home a lot, and I need to clear up memory for more recording without deleting some important messages.
3) This unit does not have a led or lcd counter to display the number of messages. That would be a big plus.
It does have one feature I've really grown to like: you can slow down the message. This is GREAT when people leave you their phone number and/or name, but say it really fast in like 1/2 a second. This happens to me all the time, and has allowed me to call back people who otherwise would have been unreachable.
I would prefer a stand alone digital answering machine because I already have a nice 2.4 Ghz digital spread spectrum cordless phone.
Digital is a must, those tape machines just have too many moving parts that always break down.
Anyone using or know of a good machine that meets the above requirements? Oh, I only need it to handle one line.
