Question about GE 29897GE2 Corded Phone

Memory Full? I tried to record a new message for my answering machine, but when I hold down the "greeting" button to do that it doesn't work. After the phone voice tells me to record my new message after the beep, the phone beeps, and then beeps again instantly and tells me that the memory is full. I don't have any messages on the machine, nor any phone numbers in caller ID. Is there a way to wipe the memory? Am I just missing something? Thanks for any help! SepSep

I unplugged my power supply cord from back of phone and replug it again, I found there were in fact four messages. After I deleted them I was able to use the memo button again. So perhaps this willhelp you, too. Ackey320

How to record a message on a GE digital message machine

You didn't specify the model, so I can't be absolutely certain. On most GE machines, press and hold the GREETING button, record the message at the beep, then release the button when done.

If this doesn't work, please reply to this message and specify the model of your phone/answering machine.

The 29897 has only one mailbox, so you can't use it to separate messages.

To record an outgoing message, hold down the GREETING button. Record your message at the tone. Release the GREETING button when done.

Want to put a message on the answering machine - loss when electricity went out.

Simply hold down to greeting button for around 5 seconds and it will tell you to record you new greeting. To stop greeting recoding after you finished speaking then just push play. Listen to your new recorded message.

How do I record a new message please? I have a Uniden N32 phone with base station and three handsets. The recorded message was lost when we had a black-out.

There should be a button that reads "greeting".If there is no button that says "record" or "rec",then just hold down the greeting button and it should prompt you to record.It seems odd though,the digital answering machines usually hold their greeting even when losing power and coming back on.If it currently gives a "computer voice" greeting it should not be a problem.If there is no "computer" greeting,there may be a problem.Good luck.

Instruction Manual

GE Digital Messaging System ~ Voice/Time/Day stamp
1a] press and hold down STOP/set button and wait for promps.....
ie. press NEXT to change Day stamp and then SET to pick.
ie. press NEXT to change Hour and SET to pick.
ie. press NEXT to change Minute and SET to pick.
1b] press NEXT to pick 1minute allowance recording for recieving messages coming in, or 2 minutes or 3 minutes or 4 minutes. This machine only has 1/2 hour of recording time, so maybe you can 'tell' -record- that and let incoming callers know they have only minutes and machine will automatically shut off and cut them off [hang-up] on them.
2] press and hold down Greeting button and follow promps to change the answering machine voice promps to your own voice. Machine will automatically PLAY BACK your voice, if you don't like what you hear, press and hold down Greeting button again and try again.
~ hope all above helps.
