G.E. need instructions for ge model #27881ge2a telephone answering machine setup

You have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone (or while your phone is unplugged). Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

You may download a copy of the manual at http://www.home-electronics.net/ge/pc/IB/29490GE2_IB.pdf.

The 29490 isn't an answering machine. To set up the voicemail, please consult the documentation for whatever answering machine or voicemail system you have on your phone line.

Call forwarding is a service provided by your telephone company. With many systems, dial * 7 2, wait for a second dial tone, then dial the number to forward to. Answer that other phone to confirm. Dial * 7 3 to cancel. If these instructions don't work then contact your telephone company for their instructions regarding call forwarding.

The 21008GE2 is a phone, not an answering machine. It doesn't store messages that can be accessed from the phone or another phone.

If you want to access messages on an answering machine, you'll have to tell us the make and model of the answering machine.

Press and hold the SETUP/ENTER button for two seconds to access the setup menu. After the language you can change the time and date.
