Questions & Answers

You could set up different codes for the various mailboxes, could you not? Would you mind setting up a private mailbox for me?

There is no chance of that happening. Would you like it to let you listen to the messages before the app lets you see them? At this price, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get anything like that. The best thing to do is to invest in what the computer guy would call "physical security." Under a lock and key, you need to keep it. A locked drawer on your desk or a locked room could be kept secure. I wanted to point out, since I'm typing anyway that if the caller doesn't hit any numbers, the machine puts the message in mailbox By the way, I enjoy using this answering machine quite a bit.

Is it equipped with an auto attendant? What about the one who says "Press one to leave a message, press two to reach bla bla?"?

When you press 2 you'll hear, "If you'd like to leave a message for Chris". Please press 3 if you would like to leave Sue a message. If I follow your point, then mailbox 1 is not usable. If I had all the crap in there, I would not want my wanted voicemails to be there Are you getting what I'm saying? To put it simply, all you have to do is apply logic to your outgoing message and compose it

Can I put more than one line in it?

In other words, it does not. The answering machine I have is a nice looking one, and it is really useful, but it has only one line. I already have two lines, and I could have used them and would have known it anyway. On the other hand, I have another answering machine because it proved to be very difficult to find a decent, affordable one capable of dealing with two lines at the same time.

Selected User Reviews For GE 29861GE2 Digital Answering System with 3 Mailboxes

It is great to have an Answering Machine that has four mailboxes
5/5

I debated between one with three mailboxes and one with four mailboxes, but I decided that this one took my vote. I am very satisfied with it. It is easy to set up and I am able to receive messages from other locations with a single click. Messages are stored on the machine after they have been retrieved, just in case we previously Here they are when we arrive at home. Messages can be retrieved by each member of a family with their own security code, which is ideal for families with 3 members. The Caller ID on our system also works well with this. My recommendation for this GE Digital Answering Machine is everyone should buy it.

As far as I'm concerned, it worked well
3/5

Although it has served me well for the time I used it, it is somewhat outdated now. As most of the features of it are built into the phone systems I have used recently, I haven't connected it for years. Whether it can be used or not, it is well built and this one still works after over 5 years (tried it before writing this review).

The GEE 29861GE2 comes with three mailboxes and a digital answering system
5/5

Setup is simple, and people can start using the system immediately. The design is attractive with a rounded edge, while the color is gray-toned In a circle are buttons with different colors. A flexible solution If you have more than one mailbox, you can use them all. The Personal Fax 275 from Brother is compatible with both phone and fax (it works well in this case). In addition, we received several comments regarding how pleasant the automated female voice is that answers calls until (or unless) you choose to.

The best I can do
4/5

The program does what it's supposed to do. While the sound quality is not excellent, it is still sufficient. In my opinion, the machine is a nice answering machine for its price. However, if you set up the outgoing message correctly, people will hit the number for the mailbox they want, therefore any messages in mailbox one (if the caller does not specify) will be junk mail.

I feel your pain In the event of a power failure, everything is lost
3/5

My surprise is that AT&T offers such a cheap rate It still outperforms this new machine, which was a big mistake made by GE. In many ways, this machine is a little inferior to what we were able to get four years ago. Whenever there is a power outage, the system loses all of its information including incoming mail, time, and worst of all, the message itself. Here are all the messages you have received. In my opinion, this is simply not acceptable. The device does have a 9V battery backup, but that battery will die in a year, so you must consider the possibility of losing your data. I don't have this problem with my older digital (rather than tape) machine, and when I can get a 16GB SDRAM card for my camera for $25, it seems this problem can be easily solved. )The outgoing message has poorer voice quality than the current machine. This is a little brittle. There is no way to rewind a few seconds going back to the start of the message is the only option. However, it seems like an OK machine apart from that, but the memory problem is a real pain in the neck.

This is a very versatile machine that does a great job at a good price
5/5

The digital answering machine it replaced was a piece of junk in comparison. One of the best features is the multiple voice mail boxes and the ability to switch between two outgoing messages at any time. In addition to the recording being good, the quality is also excellent. In the phone setting, you can determine how long the caller can leave a message, how many rings before the answering machine picks up, and a security code that you can use if you pick up messages from the answering machine while The question is now how long it will last.

An audible beep is necessary
4/5

People are unsure of how to start speaking when leaving a message, so it ends up not being very good. There is no beep, therefore people are not sure what they should say.

I find it to be effective at what I need
3/5

a machine that could handle mailboxes in the old fashion. If the mail boxes had had their own answering messages, it might have been nice. Use of this feature is limited to general messages. I can live with it except for that.
