Using the answering machine in the C 250
Base
The Gigaset C 250 has a built-in answering machine that records calls provided it is acti-
vated (default setting). It can be operated:
◆
from the base,
◆
from the handset (with voice prompts if available),
◆
from the remote control (with voice prompts if available).
The date and time of arrival of each message is logged if you have previously set this
function (page 15).
As well as the built-in answering machine, you can also select an answering machine of
your network provider (e.g. Deutsche Telekom’s network mailbox).
