Pros: It beeps when you need to check messages...no need to see the machine.
Cons: It doesn't allow you to delete unless you've heard the message in its entirety.

Pros: No tape to bother with.
Cons: Way too easy to delete unheard messages.
Summary: It takes messages reliably but the design of the interface makes it too easy to delete a message you haven't heard because if you haven't hit the delete before the end of the current message it assumes you want to delete the next message before it has

Cons: Does not perform basic functions in a reliable manner.
Summary: In my mind, AT&T in general had a good reputation for telephone related products so they came to mind when I was interested in an answering machine. I was looking for something very basic with no frills and ended-up picking this product as it fit this
