There is a standard headphones jack for a headset on my IP telephone, and I'd like to connect an answering machine to it. The trouble is I can't find any answering machine in stores that has the headphone jack. Also, couldn't find any regular answering machine for IP telephones in VOIP internet stores. Did someone try to convert digital dictaphones into the answering machines ? These days there are dictaphones which start recording when initiated by voice. Likewise, I was thinking when a dictaphone receives a signal from a telephone perhaps it can playback an audio file as a greeting message and then record caller's message ? Are there some wild hacks to dictaphones ? Is the only remaining option to subscribe to some voice message service ? No more home answering machines ? Thank you.

Is there any reason you can't use a voicemail service from you Internet Telephony Service Provider? If not, I would suggest obtaining an Analogue Telephone Adapter, configure it with the same credentials as your IP phone, & plug your answer phone into that......

Most of my VoIP accounts have a free voicemail option In fact my SIPGATE accounts are totely free to set up if you just want incomming calls. Voxalot will add voicemail to any account as well as consolidating multiple accounts so they appear to your device as a single account. Also totally free. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Feranija Guest Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 11:51 pm    Post subject: Re: Do such answering machines exist ?
