hi Jackie,Yes, i've already given the truecall machines a try. i found that for the price they were charging, it just wasn't worth it. their system for updating the software needs updating, it would've been nice if it just had a port on the back to connect to your local network so you could control it via the web. also, the last straw came when my memory card got corrupted erasing all recordings and i had to send it back to them for repair. this seemed to happen for no reason at all, so i gave up and soled the unit on. In my humble opinion, when you're spending £125 on a unit of this kind, you should be able at least to restore the card to factory defaults without sending it back to them like its something exclusive. Many thanks for the suggestion all the same, its much appreciated.

Hi Mo Have you tried Truecall? I know this is designed to block those pesty calls, but it is a stand-alone machine that you plug into your line, and you can adjust the ringing time, though by how much I am not sure. Maybe you have tried this already, but worth a thought perhaps?

Being the kind of person i am, i always want more from my landline and mobile phone systems, always looking for obscure features. I'm currently with talk talk business not through choice, and we have a voicemail service active on the phone line. the confounded thing cuts in after 6 or 7 rings, 21 seconds to be precise and the building being the size it is, its not always easy to reach the nearest phone in time. I have called talk talk and asked about a feature to extend the rings, but they flatly refuse to offer this feature at this time. its not even available on their voicemail plus service. trawling forums hasn't helped either. So, now to my question. i'm looking for an answering machine that offers a long amount of rings if possible. 9 at a minimum, but more if possible. such a thing must exist, but i haven't found one yet apart from the BT response 75+. We already have cordless phones, so i do not want a cordless phone with a built in answering machine, just a stand alone digital answering machine. Does anyone know of any good machines that are available? has anyone had any experience using the BT response 75+? some people have reported on forums that its buggy. Many thanks in advance.
