Your BT Home SmartPhone S can digitally
record up to 24 minutes of messages. You can
operate your Answer phone from the handset
or remotely from any other Touchtone™
telephone. Before you use your Answer phone,
you need to set the date and time so message
times will be correct.
When you get a new Answer phone message, the
Answer phone appears in the Status bar.
