Stops them getting engaged (like voicemail on a mobile) Some Home Phones show that messages are waiting but most are a small icon not a big red lamp. Stand-alone answering Machine: Some can remote interrogate it (call it when away and put in a password) can more eaily see the message counter IF you put it somewhere easy to see. basic 1571 is free and if you add TPS ( if make 6 calls a month, and sign up for BT privacy) you have caller ID from free, and know how many people called http://www.bt.com/btprivacy - then select Home security features Advanced 1571 has a cost every month Buy a machine is a one off cost.... Personally, I find the FREE 1571 works well for me. I make a couple of calls each weekend (cost 8p setup fee) and it pays for itself. I used to have a machine, but as I am never away for long periods, and also have voicemail I can access on the Mobile I use, if people need me, they can get me. 1571 : Works when you are in a call to someone else..
