After the change over I was afraid we’d lost the electronic answering
machine that we’d been using whilst connected to T-elekom, but I was wrong.
Arcor has unified messaging including an answering machine with its own
telephone number. I’m not quite sure how reliable it is: during the first five
tests I get an voice message telling me that the call isn’t possible at this
moment ( die von Ihnen gewünschte Verbindung mit diesem Dienst oder
Dienstmerkmal ist nicht möglich) But the hyper-cool bit about it, when it
does work? I get the call relayed to my e-mail account with the voice
recording attached as a .wav
file.
