Good advice from Sandra as always. I too have a Panasonic cordless, though its very menu driven for setup. Just an aside, when it was new I dropped it in the bath! After drying out, including a short session in my fan oven, it worked OK! (Don't recommend anyone trying this out.) I shall keep a note of the BT Response voice feedback phone, especially if I can find one on eBay.

It's got menus and such so had to be set up with a pair of eyes, but once it's done, it's done and the buttons are quite large and easily navigated. If you want an answering machine with full voice prompts so that setting up is totally independent, try the BT Response 75. It has 30 minutes recording time and everything speaks so you don't need any help with this at all and the quality of playback isn't bad at all.
