I accidentally deleted an answer I wanted to hear on an AT&T 1719 answering machine. I read the manual and noticed that messages cannot be recovered. Who makes an answering machine with an "undelete" function, the way machines used to be made for decades?

See the instructions on page 4 of the manual: http://www.fixya.com/support/p99729-t_1719_digital_answering_machine/usermanual-077E2DB-pdf

Press and hold [SET UP] until the system announces "Number of rings is..." Press and release [ANNC/SKIP] or [MEMO/REPEAT] until the system announces the desired number of rings. Press [PLAY/STOP] to exit. Full details are on page 2 of the manual.

Unfortunately, no.

You can download the manual from the manufacturer's web site at

Dial your number, when the AT&T 1719 answers and the announcement begins playing(if the unit's answer function is turned off, it will answer after 10 rings) dial your three digit security code(default is 500). If the announcement continues playing after entering the security code, press # to end the announcement or wait for the announcement to end and re-enter the security code. The answer machine will announce the number of messages then begin playback of the messages. I have included a link to the manual, remote operation of the AT&T 1719 answer machine is on page 8.

Look for the manual of your AT&T 1725 digital answering machine

Have reviewed and it depends on if it was a saved message or if it was just in the in box with all being deleted.

Read the manual carefully.

I found the solution accidentally. I just unplugged the phone from the jack and plugged it back in, and that did the trick.
