Before the invention of cell phones, the answering machine was essential to reducing missing important phone calls. Today, cell phone manufacturers continuously try to outdo each other with features such as the ability to store messages and missed phone calls. With the press of a button on the cell phone, a missed call or voice message can be returned. The answering machine is still used by millions of people, however, who have home and office phones that require an answering machine to capture missed calls and messages. But, the demand for answering machines is decreasing as more people turn to cell phones.
Electronic stores and online distributors are still selling answering machines. If a used one will do, sites like Ebay, Craigslist and other advertising sites are selling new and used machines at very low rates. Some sites may not have a picture, but you can use the brand and model number to get information about the machine at the company site or blogs about electronics. Do not let a good price trick you into purchasing a machine that ends up in the garage or the trash because it is obsolete.
Check for the manufacturers date using the serial or model numbers, and be sure that the manufacturer is still producing recording tapes and that they are readily available. Sooner or later, you will need to replace the recording cassette, especially if the machine does not work well and continuously damages the tape instead of winding it smoothly onto the correct reel. Choose a modern machine, and make sure that the manufacturer is reputable and still in business.
The length of recording time and special features, such as power outage protection to prevent message loss, remote access and multiple mailboxes, may also interest you. Choose a machine with the most useful features, but be sure that you can easily find replacement tapes.
