Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Casio's TA-114 digital answering machine is an all-digital telephone answering device (TAD) with 18 minutes of digital recording for incoming messages and your greeting. It accommodates one outgoing message. For most, this will be all you'll need on a daily basis. This unit is fully operational from remote locations and features remote turn-on capability, making it easy to pick up and manage your messages wherever you are. It's even short burst/cellular compatible.

Casio's TA-144 is feature-rich. Its voice/time/day stamp lets you know when each message was received, whether you play back your messages at home or from a remote location. A new message indicator flashes rapidly to alert you to new messages and flashes slowly when messages are saved. Its voice-assisted operation features a synthesized voice that confirms machine functions and commands. It even comes with a talking clock.

Call screening is available with this unit, allowing you to listen to messages as they are recorded, and its selective message erase lets you save and erase specific messages. The TA-114 also has a handy auto disconnect that stops the unit when you pick up during a message. When picking up your messages from a remote location, this unit includes a ring select with toll-saver feature. This enables the machine to take your call after two rings if a new message is waiting for you, or four rings if one is not. If calling long distance to check on messages, you can hang up on the third ring and save the charge.

The Casio TA-114 uses a 9-volt battery (not included) for power failure protection, and it has a built-in low battery indicator. This unit comes with a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A excellent answering machine, October 8, 2000

I don't know where to begin. About a month ago the answering machine that I originally owned broke. I had to look for a new one but I didn't have a that much money in my pocket to put into an answering machine. ... you are getting a well built, digital, and very nice looking answering machine. Setting the machine up took me about 8 minutes. All I had to do to record my message was push the "record" button and its that simple! The answering machine has 18 minutes of digital recording time. It also stamps each and every message with the time and date that the message was left. My favorite feature on this machine is that I can call it when I'm away from my house, enter a 3 digit numeric code, and get all of my messages no matter where I am! The machine also allows you to put a 9 volt battery inside of it so in case your power goes out you won't loose anything. You can also screen all of your calls and when you pick the phone up the machine stops recording. The one thing about this machine that I really like though is that it gives you the option of having the machine make a ringing noise when someone calls. My phone didn't come with a ringer on/off button so I unplug it at night. But if someone calls, I can adjust the volume of the ring on the machine so that I still know when someone is calling and the ring isn't loud enough to startle me. Bottom line, if you're looking for an excellent answering machine that is easy to use, easy to setup, and sleek looking then you have to get this!

I used this answering machine to replace my $8 a month voice-mail from the phone company. I have no major complaints from this great product, and it's even a cool looking see-through blue. Very easy to set up and operate, and I was pleasantly surprised that accessing messages remotely is as easy as with voice-mail. Very intuitive voice-prompted instructions on how to skip, delete, or save messages. Price cannot be beat if you ask me.

One of the reasons I like this one is that it allows callers to leave messages of up to 2 minutes (pretty sure), I hate those ones that cut people off after 30 seconds or so. 18 minutes of total recorded time for all messages.

If the item says out of stock, you may want to wait a couple of days and try again, that's what happened to me...a few days later it was available within 24 hours.

This machine is very handy. It has time and day stamp and is easily operable. The remote operation also works really well. It is pretty simple but it gets the job done. I don't need much, and this did the trick.
