Answering machine "play last message" feature

[Deleted member 4644]

Feralkid gets paid for his service. Thanks to all others as well


My mom is desperately looking for an answering machine that can play messages in reverse order.


What I mean is this: She used to have an old ATT machine that would let you play the last (newest) message (#30 say), by pressing "repeat" when nothing was playing (machine was idle).

It would then play 30, pressing repeat again would play 29, etc etc.

Anyone know of a modern machine with a feature like that.

Thx

Paypal $10 to the first person who SUCCESSFULLY answers my question. (Non BS answer, not costing $100s etc).

I think our last machine, a 2.4ghz V-tech (might have been 4.8ghz, can't remember) that I'm pretty sure did that.
Honestly, I cannot remember if it did or did not, but I do remember not being upset about the messaging system, but our current Panasonic set (DECT, with included second wireless headset) annoys me. When playing messages if all messages have been answered, it plays back the oldest first. Which can be annoying because my parents don't listen to all of them.

Either that, or our old machine either I was around the house more so I made sure old messages were deleted, or it was easier to skip the old messages, versus the new set might be more cumbersome to skip.

We have this phone at my house and when you press the Play/Stop button, it tells you how many messages you have and starts from the oldest. However you can press the Next>> button and cycle through them relatively quickly. It also repeats the message number before playing the actual message so that you will know just how close you are to the most recent message. I'm pretty sure you could just play the Play/Stop button and press Review<< button and it will take you to the newest message.

It might not be exactly what you want, but close enough. =]

I own it, and it definitely has this feature.

Just want to confirm that it does as I describe below:

Might want to check out the Panasonic machines, I have a KX-TG5651, it seems to the functionality you're looking for.

Feralkid is the winner, by giving me the first identifiable phone model that has the feature I want (which I have now confirmed).

Please PM me info for the paypal payment.
