Did you not get the message I left?

by i_culookn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 25 '00
Pros: takes up little space
Cons: muffled sounds at times
As long as I can remember all of my personal answering machines that I have had have all been from the AT&T product line. I have had some good answering machines and some ones that I really hated.


My current answering machine is the...

For Those Times When You Don't Feel Like Talking

by viper1963 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 29 '00
Pros: Small, Compact, Easy to Use
Cons: Recorded Time Audio sounds too Robotic
Everyone reading this review will agree with me that there are several things in a business person's life that is a requirement. Everyone needs a cellular phone, electronic organizer and last but not least an answering machine.

I never owned...

AT&T 1717 - Say what?

by susidee34 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 24 '00
Pros: No tape, compact, easy to use
Cons: none yet
It's tiny, square, white and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. It does everything I ask it to do and never refuses to tell me just what I want to hear. That's its' job.

I purchased this machine after my long suffering Panasonic...

Simple and Functional: AT&T 1717 Answering Machine.

by achoo , Nov 26 '00
Pros: inexpensive, very easy to use, small, simple, good sound quality
Cons: nothing unique to this model
There are two appliances that I have never had any luck with. My toasters have a history of catching fire, mutilating innocent bread slices, and generally causing mayhem. And my answering machines either lose my messages or garble them so badly that it...

Not Just An Answering Machine

by tchoate Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 24 '00
Pros: Easy To Use, Clear Message, Date/Time Stamp
Cons: None That We Have Found
I probably purchased this product for something totally different than most people. I am the administrative assistant to the Pastor of a very active Cumberland Presbyterian Church. We send daily e-mail messages to all of our members with reminders,...

Pros: Cheap With Great Performance
Cons: Lacks Advanced Features
Equipping Yourself for the Cosmopolitan Lifestyle

Life in D.C. for the young and employed. Flush with cash, we host dinner parties, attend nightly happy hours and generally live it up in the city. That means that we're out of the...

Everything you'll ever need in an answering machine!

by JennJoy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 13 '00
Pros: Time stamp, retrieving messages remotely
Cons: Constantly resetting the clock
In the past 6 years I've wasted more money then I care to mention on answering machines that didn't last--the little message tapes would break or the electronics would good haywire. About two years ago I found myself in the store yet again looking to...

Prize Patrol, Please Call Back--I've Got a New Machine!

by pbyaeger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 24 '00
Pros: easy features, cheap
Cons: TERRIBLE sound quality
What's the most important feature of your answering machine? The number of rings? The fact you can call and reprogram it to answer with a new message? Length of recording time?

While all of those are quite useful, let me suggest something else...

Please Leave A Message After The Tone!

by wyomingwapati , May 10 '01
Pros: Extremely Easy to Use. No Tape!
Cons: Have to call people back that you may not want to!
I bought my AT&T Model 1717 Digital Answering Machine off Ebay about 1 year ago. I was tired of fighting with my previous AT&T answering machine that used those darn little tapes. We had a similar model machine (Lucent Technologies) at my place of...

My Personal Answering Service

by RcknRbn3 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 24 '00
Pros: Simple to use, reliable, great value
Cons: It can't make up excuses for you not calling back
"Hello, we are unable to come to the phone right now, but we'll know the minute that you called!" Of all the features that AT&T brings to this answering machine, my favorite has to be that you will know the exact time that each message was...

A mind of it's own

by Debbie26 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 04 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, no tapes to buy, remote message pick up, functional sometimes
Cons: trouble with keeping the outgoing message recorded and the time and date right
I needed an answering machine badly. So when I had an extra $17 I got me one. It wasn't anything special but that wasn't too important anyway. I just needed to make sure that I didn't miss calls from all the therapists and doctors that the children...

AT&T 1717 Answering System: it usually works....

by harperb , Nov 07 '00
Pros: price, good basic features
Cons: bad sound, somewhat unreliable
I bought the 1717 because it was cheap, I confess, and have been using it for about 18 months. Most of its operation is satisfactory. There are several good things about it, although none of them is anything out of the ordinary for an answering...

my little talking friend

by seric26 , Apr 08 '01
Pros: small footprint, well-designed, efficient and reliable
Cons: not a lot of added features, but c'mon, it's a bargain anyway!
Well, I had no idea I'd be writing an epinion on this product tonight. I'd never thought of reviewing it before, and just randomly came across it while trying to decide to add someone to my WOT.

They were right in all they said, but I noticed...

AT&T Really Got This One Right!

by morning_angel , Nov 06 '00
Pros: Easy to use, Easy to remote retrieve messages
Cons: Does not withstand lightening strikes very well.
Well, you know what they say, you don't know how good you've got it till you don't have it any more....That was definitely the case for me with this AT&T answering machine! I'm not a big fan of AT&T, or their products, but when I shopped for an...
