I have an AT&T 1715 digital answering machine, on which the owner has recorded the voices of his kids over the years. Someone has accidentally pushed the delete button. According to AT&T, the last 10 messages are retained in memory. I am looking for a key sequence or other means to get the machine to play these messages.
Hi,
Try this out:
If you delete a message by mistake, you can recover it, as long as you do so before exiting your mailbox. Press * one keypress at a time until you hear the main menu for your subscriber mailbox. Then press 7 to recover deleted messages. Follow the commands to locate the message you want to keep.
Goodluck,
Don't forget to rate me as fixya..
There's nothing in the manual about recovering deleted messages. And it does state that deleting messages is permanent. After some intensive googling I couldn't find a solution for you. I think you may be out of luck. The only thing that comes to mind is if you rip the flash memory chip out and get a data recovery agency to read it for you, will be pricey! and you may not be able to read the files with anything, might be proprietary.
I'm afraid that there probably nothing that can be done then. I've looked at other manuals for AT&T machines and they don't have anything, these machines are not meant to be used as data stores and are not very robust.

The manual does not address this issue.
I have already tried a data recovery outfit, and they can not handle it, because they don't have file format information.
The deletion occurred a while ago, and the unit does not have a standard keypad.
