Today's busy schedules demand that people get in touch with each other at all times. Everyone has a cell phone, and just about every leaves and receives voice mails from other people as well. Your cell phone is completely handled by your service provider, which is completely trouble-free. But what if you have a land line phone as well and want to receive messages through it? Luckily today there are answering machine options that don't require little tapes and fast forwarding. Just like with cell phones, there are answering machines that are digital as well. That means no little tapes and no rewinding. And you won't have to worry about replacing tapes either.
An answering machine digital phone allows you to quickly access any messages on the machine by pressing a single button. You no longer have to rewind a tape and wait, now all you need to do is press a button and you can go through all of your messages in a flash.
You have total control over which messages you save and which ones you toss. Some models even allow you to access the messages via a remote control. Say you were away on vacation for two weeks and wanted to see if anyone had called the house and left a message. You can also set it to allow you to call your house from any phone and you typically press a PIN code which lets you listen to your messages remotely. Almost all digital models allow you to do this, and they usually allow you to use any standard function in this way as well. It is very much like retrieving voice mail over your cell phone. It couldn't be any easier.
You can get these types of answering machine digital phones to be compatible with either your typical RJ-11 telephone wall jack or the RJ-45 jacks that are provided by DSL providers. If you have digital cable television, high-speed internet, or digital phone in your house, chances are you have a special modem which you would plug the answer machine digital phone into. There is no need to use your old wall jacks. However, you may not have subscription cable service nor a digital phone carrier.
If this is the case for you, then you are going to have to plug the machine into your standard everyday phone jack. This is the method that has been used for decades, and it is still viable today. It's a small square plug which is connected to the answer machine on one end, and the receptacle on the other. The RJ-45 used in by cable providers looks a little similar but is actually wider, and those are used for ethernet connections. It doesn't matter how you hook your answer machine digital phone up. It will be easy to use, and even easier to access from other locations. Just make sure you leave a personal greeting so callers know they've reached you.
