I have an Amplicom AB 900 answering machine and have, to me, a big problem
with it. It does not announce the calling telephone number before recording
the caller's response - while the phone is still ringing and answering
message has not yet played. This is unlike other answering machines I have
had and worn out. Knowing the caller telephone number permits me to avoid
talking to someone I'd rather not or robocalls.

I read the manual carefully and tried Google with no help.

Before I have to buy a different answering machine does anyone have a
solution?

TIA

My answering machine does have caller-id, but it doesn't announce it.
Have to look at the screen, either the base station or the 3 cordless
extensions.

It's at least 10 years old, Uniden.

Mine has 26 buttons plus 3 soft keys, and I figure the more buttons the
better the machine.

The more buttons the less likely you will be able to use it - - -

Are you projecting?
