Most modern answering machines can be accessed by calling your home number and letting the phone ring. You then have to enter a code when the answering machine picks up. This is a very common feature.
Yes you can, however only one of them can be set to automatically answer - otherwise one will answer before the other. Other options are: - There are fax machines that have answering capability - There is the option to have a "dual ring" line - (DRD - dual ring detection) is what's needed in both the answering mahcine and the fax machine for that - this way you would have two phone numbers but one phone line - the answering machine would be set up for line 1, the fax machine line for line 2, and the fax machine ring would be different. This works with voicemail as well.
It means he either: Isn't there to hear it ring; or Is busy with something more important than answering the phone; or Doesn't want to talk on the phone.
People answer the phone differently. Some people grab it after the first ring. Many people check caller ID first before deciding whether to answer. Still others wait 2 or more rings even when sitting right near the telephone. And, some people don't answer; they let voice mail or answering machine pick it up.
To prevent your fax machine from ringing when the phone rings, you can use a telephone line splitter with a built-in filter, allowing the fax machine to receive faxes without ringing. Alternatively, you can adjust the settings on the fax machine to turn off the ringing feature, or set the machine to a specific ring pattern that differs from your phone. Another option is to use a dedicated phone line for your fax machine.
I will ring you later tonight.Can you ring my phone please? I have lost it.Don't ring the doorbell yet.
An ear ring is not a machine.
Um... If your phone is dead than it shouldnt ring at all. If you mean out of battery but still ON, than it should still ring, unless the volume is OFF. So you may have to adjust your volume when your phone is about to die.
I once counted 36 rings before the phone quit ringing. I didn't get a message, the line just went dead.
And it's rude to have the phone ring while you're on a date.
