High End Cordless Phones with Answering Machines

Panasonic has staked out the high end of the market with advanced but affordable phones. It's a strategy that has worked well and accounts for Panasonic cordless phones having the biggest share of the market.

However, if cost isn't a concern Siemens cordless phones set the benchmark in cordless phone answering machines. They are ultra stylish and deliver exceptional call clarity. Siemens is one of the few manufacturers still fitting full duplex handsfree speakerphones. Along all dimensions they are generously spec'd. For example recording time on most models is 45 minutes, 1.8" displays and highly configurable. The catch is that Siemens phones are expensive, but as always you get what you pay for.

2 and 4 Line Cordless Phone Answering Machines

Multiple line cordless phone systems with answering machines are increasingly popular. They have become more affordable, but their popularity can also be attributed to the up-take of cheap home phone services whether Vonage, Phone Power, RingCentral or even magicJack. Each line can be setup with a personalized greeting and a dedicated answering system making them ideal for home office use.

Summary

Despite the up-take of provider based voicemail services, cordless phones with answering machines are still the option that most consumers look to buy. The good news is that consumers have plenty of options to choose from and in most cases they are excellent value for money.
