Explaining the steps for reprogramming your answering machines are quite elaborate and would take too much to explain so i have sent you a link to help download the user manuals the first is for AT&T

Next is for the VTech.

Your machine is set to Announce Only, where it announces you're not available but does not allow the caller to leave a message. To allow the caller to leave a message, switch your machine to Answer. I wish I could tell you exactly how to do that, but since you neglected to specify the model of your VTech 5.8GHz system I can only suggest you enter it into the search box at http://www.vtechphones.com/support/general/manuals to download a copy of the manual.

I found my paper manual. Also was able to go on line and put in the model number of my VTech and then able to download a manual.

You need to reset the clock.
