Don't miss your important calls just because you happen to be away from the phone. The AT&T 1717 records your incoming messages along with the time and day of the call. Plus, you get the convenience and reliability of all-digital tapeless technology.

Setting up the 1717 was easy--we just plugged in the AC adapter and the phone cord. We correctly guessed how to set the clock. A sticker on the bottom of the unit reminds you how to reset it in the event of a power failure.

To set features other than the clock, you press and hold the Setup button and follow the voice prompts. To record the outgoing message, you press and hold the Annc/Skip button. As is typical with AT&T answering devices, this was a little tricky, as the same button that confirms your message also resets the factory prerecorded outgoing message. Overall, setup was quick and easy--we didn't have to consult the manual for any feature, but some users will need to if the 1717 is their first answering machine.

When we removed the AC power, it reset the clock but didn't erase our messages; AT&T's Message Guard protects them from power failures. Sound quality is good but not excellent, just as we would expect for an answering machine in this price range.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive
  • Quick setup
  • Records up to 59 messages

Cons:

  • Four-minute recording limit per message

1 out of 5 stars Not up to AT&T standards for reliability   April 7, 2005
Jeremy Goldberg (Pleasant Hill, CA)
Highly recommended (for the price) if you don't mind it breaking down after a year and a half.


5 out of 5 stars Great machine for the long haul   September 14, 2004

I've had this answering machine for 7 years, 4 moves, and 6 different roommates. It has never given me a problem. I find the buttons and remote use pretty intuitive. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Hi,
This is a very nice, simple answering machine. I have had one for a long time and it served me well. (I knocked it off the kitchen counter and eventually the impact was just too much for it!)

I have never found a better one than this, especially for the money.


5 out of 5 stars Works fantastic after at least 3 and a half years !!!   June 2, 2003

I did not even know I had this machine while reading the reviews and only when I checked the picture I realized that I have had it so long I had forgotten what brand/model I had. I think I might even have it had it for over 5 years !! This machine has never given me problems. Always leaves a clear OGM and records everything perfectly. Very rarely is a message unclear, but I think that is when the caller talks too loudly into the phone. I have never had any weird stuff going on with it. It always picks up and people never have to call back to finish a message. Nobody ever said that they had problems leaving me a message. I never have any problems setting the time, checking the messages or anything. Only drawback is you cannot silence the machine, but you can lower the volume considerably. Do not place in your bedroom. Overall, a truly great machine !!!!
