I noticed my new GE 29871 answering machine lost some of it's settings on a

come out
with a battery backup. What is strange is that these newer versions carry the
exact
same model number. That means that if you buy them in the store, there is no
way
of knowing if it includes the battery backup, or not. Seems like they are
obligated
to give this newer version a different number like a 29871-A, so that people can

identify the newer models. I also assume that it is clearly written on the box
that it
has a battery backup, but who knows.

buy a cheap UPS, uninterruptible power supply, for less than 30 bucks
not only will your answering machine hold all settings during a power
failure it will work normally during the power failure and never miss
a call. answering machines use little power so a small cheap UPS is
all you need.
