Conairphone TAD 1212W

An oldie but goodie

This is just the kind of answering machine that does only what you want it to and that is to have a message left and to receive them as well. As a senior citizen that is all we need and not alot of whises, sirens, and bells to navigate. Its what I...

You Get What You Pay For...

In this case, I got this free then downloaded the manual from ConairPhone.com. This unit is cheap in both price and quality. It lacks some basic features which other "cheap" models have such as: date/time stamp, selective erase feature, skip a...

Mine's Been Working Forever

I have no problems with mine. It's been working perfectly since the day my mom bought it and used it for herself years ago (whenever the machine came out). I even got grease on it from cooking, and it still works wonderfully.

I Must Live In A Tin Can

I cheaped out and got this answering machine for [$$] as a temporary until I got a better phone/answering machine. Boy, I guess price really does count. The look is ok, although big for a digital machine. It was easy to hook up. The machine has...

Echo Disposable Machine

Worked OK for just over a year then died. Voice quality lousy.
