Re: Smartphone with built-in answering machine
You probably already know this, so I apologise in advance...
Every cell phone service provides an answering service as part of most/all
packages. You dial in to their server and listen to your messages. This is
essential so that callers can leave a message if you go out of range or have
your phone turned off. Many phones (the SE T610 for one) have a recording
capability. If you need to record a call you can either do it while it's in
progress or while you listen to your answering service. I'm not 100% sure,
but the recording could then probably be copied elsewhere.
The reason that there are no phones with answering machine functionality is
because it's not needed. Have you a specific reason for which there is no
other solution?

Just FYI: Sony used to have the CMD-Z5 with a built-in (hardware)
answering machine. And if you type the keyword "smartanswer" into
Google, it should provide a couple of links to an answering machine
software that can be used on phones with Symbian OS.
Kind regards,
Olaf

There are phones with that feature - the LG VX4400, for one.

OK, so why would anyone want answerphone capability?

Re: Smartphone with built-in answering machine
I'm new to using a mobile phone but considering that it's digital and latest
technology I had expected that it would not be a hassle just like my
wireless phone wasn't (I just had to read instructions). The problem is that
I have to deal with Bell - the phone company, it's not as simple as reaching
for manual like I do with my wireless phone. I have a Samsung with digicam
and it has the voice message icon indicating new message, I go to guide
instructions and it says to hold down the OK button to retrieve it but the
only thing it does is dial my own # and of course the answering machine will
be triggered I'm calling myself! Now why would a feature like that be there
in the first place- hold down the OK button to call yourself?!
Now I don't know whether it's phone company or device problem. Another
problem is that I cannot answer phone calls after only 3 rings coz then the
answering machine will take the call (and keep it coz I cannot retrieve
them) and cannot take that call while the person is leaving their message.
And what about the # of rings before the answering machine takes the call?
Do I have to call Bell for that? I really would like to be much more
independent from phone company.
Another one that bugs me: I travel abroad a lot and will not be able to
receive calls there so I'll depend heavily on answering machine to know
what's going on back here. With my wireless phone I can call answering
machine, retrieve messages, delete them and even configure it while with a
cell I suppose I have to call Bell (Montreal) if there's such service - for
sure it's not in the instructions book.
About answering calls when device is turned off, how about have the
answering machine in the cradle at home? That way if you're home you can
still answer the call even after answering machine is triggered like a
wireless phone would and if cell is turned off for batteries purpose, the
cradle connected at home will be working and answering that call when you're
not home - kinda like what we have with radio signal phones.

So you can screen calls before deciding whether you want to answer.

One reason I can think of is that some carriers provide not enough time
to answer the phone before the call kicks to voicemail. I have always
wished some provider would implement this in their menuing system.
Sadly, most carriers use canned voicemail systems sold to all of them in
mostly the same way. They have limited administration functions in
which features can be enabled or disabled accross the system, but that's
it. Yawn.

My Sanyo 6000 (and most likely the 6200 and 6400), and my Sanyo 8100
have BUILT IN digital answering machines. The greeting and messages
ARE STORED IN THE PHONE, *not* on any server. Maximum message length
is 18 seconds with room for only four messages.
I can retrieve the stored messages at any time, including when out
of range in the middle of BFE down in a creek bottom. Callers can
hear my greeting, until I duck into a metal building and the
signal is lost, and the call gets disconnected.

Re: Smartphone with built-in answering machine
When you hit the OK key it will dial your number because that is the way the
system retreives the voicemail. While the voicemail greeting is being
played, hit the pound key "#". That will allow you to enter your password
to retrieve your messages. Your voicemail callback number can be programmed
with time pauses and password for easy one key dialing for your retreival.
Visit the Bell World where you purchased it and someone should be able to
program your callback number.
As for only three rings, that is the default setting. Enter "*94", then the
number of rings you want and press send. For example 6 rings would be
"*946" and send.
The voicemail system is a network feature, not a phone feature. The Samsung
user's guide does not contain the network information. The Bell Mobility
guide included in the box has the information for network features. If you
have any other questions call Bell Mobility 1-800-667-0123.
