In response to my request for quick recommendations for answering machines last week, I got two recommendations, both for AT&T machines. One wasn't sure of the model (but I suspect it was the 1323, the one I got) and the other was for the 1339, which uses a chip for both incoming and outgoing messages. I ended up getting the 1323, mostly because it was available where I was shopping (Best) and seemed to have desirable features. It seems just fine so far. I paid $89 and the features include: Two outgoing messages Remote message retrieval with help menu auto cutoff if phone is picked up while machine is answering day/time stamp personal memo (I doubt I'll use this) call recording option important call alert that allows your friends to dial a special code that signals you to stop lurking and pick up the damn phone :-) The mechanical voice IS very mechanical-sounding. Also, since this is just an answering machine (no phone) the clarity of my outgoing message isn't as good as on my previous phone/answering machine where I recorded it by speaking into the phone.
