| wyomingwapati's Full Review: 1717 Digital Answering Machine |
I bought my AT&T Model 1717 Digital Answering Machine off Ebay about 1 year ago. I was tired of fighting with my previous AT&T answering machine that used those darn little tapes. We had a similar model machine (Lucent Technologies) at my place of work, so I had an idea what I wanted when I started surfing the Ebay site. I was able to pick up a used AT&T 1717 for $10 (plus $4 shipping). Not bad considering Walmart wanted $29.99 for the 1717.
DURABILITY
In the year I have owned this machine I have not had any problems whatsover. It has never failed me. Incidently, the warranty for this particular model is 1 year provided you have the original receipt.
FEATURES
* Digital Tapeless Technology
* Instant Playback
* Selective Save and Delete
* Skip and Repeat
* Time/Day Stamp
* Memo (record messages for family member or yourself)
* Call Screening (the real reason we own answering
answering machines!)
* Remote Access
* Remote Room Monitor
* Remote Turn on and off
* 12 minutes of recording time
I guess the feature I really like on this machine is the fact it is tapeless! With a tape machine you have to wait for the darn thing to rewind and play back your message(s). And being an impatient person I hate waiting!
Second, it is very user friendly. I guarantee that you will not have to read the manual to use this machine. It is extremely easy to set the time/day stamp, which I have to do about once every two weeks as we have a lot of power bumps where I live.
In a nutshell, I have been very pleased with my AT&T 1717 Digital Answering Machine. It has served me well thus far. If you have an opportunity to pick up a used one like I did off Ebay site, GO FOR IT!!!!!!
Thanks for reading my epinion.
