Uh, what was that number? Did they say "3"? I guess we can't return their call. A familiar conversation between my husband & myself each time we received a message on this machine. It wasn't very helpful considering we bought this in Oct '99 when we were selling our minivan & were getting lots of calls about the car but couldn't return some calls. Then, about 3 months later, we realized we weren't even getting some calls! My husband would call from work & leave a message but there would be nothing on the machine. People started asking why we didn't return their calls. Hmmm...broken already?

We packaged the product up & sent it to the address we were told by Sony Customer Service (at our expense). A little while later we received what we thought was a new, or at least FIXED, answering machine. What a good feeling to know you have your answering machine back on & can receive those calls ... until people started asking us why we weren't returning calls again! Then, while screening calls, I discovered the machine would hang up on callers several seconds into their message but the machine left no indication that any message was received at all.

Needless to say we threw that piece of junk in the garbage & bought an AT&T 1725 (it works like a charm even after several months - I've written a review on the AT&T dated November 28, 2000!).

I'd give this 0 stars if I could!
