Hi Can you tell me how to set the answer machine on? I thought I had done everything correctly (recorded the message, ensured that the answerphone option is selected), but having tested it using my mobile the phone didn't switch to answerphone. It's a Siemens Gigaset AL 145. Thanks.

Press "OK" The existing OGM will begin to play. Whilst this is playing press and hold "MEMO"

Record your message, speaking close to the base unit. Press "stop" (square) when finished.

If you decided you don't like your message then, repeat the process above but when it tells you to record your own message press "stop" (Square) and the default will be reset.
