Current PT poll re leaving messages on "answer phone"

[BCollie_Kelly]

Nope, we've got voicemail here

got one and use it. i cannot see why i should pay more in a year for voice mail then the cost of a phone and digital answering machine. magic the very shy meow will climb on the counter to stare curiously when an incoming call comes, i do leave messages on the phone for the critters. i've seen them look curiously at the phone during playback.

We have one that plays outloud when the message is being recorded, however, I don't know if it's the "old fashioned" type.

And I do joke around and say "Simba, if you're there, pick up the phone!!"

Yep, I've got one of the digital answering machines. It is combined with my cordless phone. I hardly ever use my home phone, so we figured this one would be fine, instead of paying for the voicemail service. Bruce has the voicemail on his line, which is also the business line.
Also, I always think about if I need to get a hold of Bruce in the morning when he is still asleep and I am on my way to work. I would call my line and start yelling into the answering machine. LOL

Like I said before, I love my answering machine. I dont know If I will ever have just Voicemail, as It drives me nuts on my cell phone! I hate having to push in passwords, and having to listen to te automated crap before i can even listen to my messages! Drives me nuts! Sorry ust had to vent about V-Mail!

I remember when I first switched to VM- 6 years ago, maybe. Lillycat would call and think it was a machine, LOL. "Pick up, please". Anyhow, I don't have a home phone, and the only thing on cells is VM. We have a guy renting space from us, and he does have a machine...though it is digital. How dark agish, eh?
