Yes t does show it, but i found the phone company one annoying bc it limited u to 4 rings only, so i ended up turning off my verizon answering service.

Yes, there is a "New Voice Mail" indicator on the display. Full details for storing your voice mail access number can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/opermanpdf/KXTGE260-MUL.pdf#page=63

I've never used the answering machine. There is a little light on the answering machine that probably blinks for a voice message.

Yes, you may input your answering message. You need to enter numbers at least once-we have had no difficulty with the function.

On the main phone there is a "digital answering" function indicated. We use our home phone carrier's service, so I can't personally give you feedback.

Gary,Were you able to find a phone which shows number of messages?We are in the same boat, this is the only reason we have not bought thisphone yet. I am looking for a similar Panasonic model with thatcapability.Thanks,junaid

Sometimes it will show the ID of call waiting and yes it does notify you of new messages if that is selected. You can turn this feature on or off.

In addition to your customized message, there are two standard messages you can select. One says leave a message, etc, the other just announces that you got the call (retrievable from the call list) in the event that you have call messaging turned off.

As long as you set the time it will tell you the day of the week and time of the call. Yes it tells you the number of messages verbally and the phone will say new message. You can hear the playback on all the phone lines not just the main base. Phone is great and I would buy again.

We use the Verizon answering service, so I can't say for sure. My guess is you plug the answering machine into the ringer, then the phone into the answering machine.

This telephone does not have an answering system. I too use voicemail--Optimum. It does have a call history function which a have never bothered to look at.

I hear you; I can't stand when a phone answers for me! I am a little late, so you have probably moved on to a new phone now, but for any Shuttle users who want to make sure their phone doesn't answer for them, it can be done in two steps using either full menu choices or numbers as follows: Step 1 ) MENU button -&gt; 9 or "tools and settings" -&gt; 4 or "Call options" -&gt; 3 or "auto answer" and select OFF (the other choices are 5, 10, or 20 seconds) Step 2 ) MENU button -&gt; 9 or "tools and settings" -&gt; 4 or "Call options" -&gt; 2 or "call answer" and then select "slide open + talk key" which will no longer answer a call when you open the phone, but will instead wait until you press the "talk" key. (The other choices are "Slide open" - or - "Slide open + any key" which I guess makes you hit a key after you slide it open before it answers a call)

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

I think you are asking if you are out of your home can you call your phone to retrieve messages. Yes, you can. The phone is set with 500 as the password to your messages, but you can change this number if you choose to - check the information book for directions. What you do is dial your phone number, and when you hear your message to callers, dial 500 (or another number you may choose), and you should be able to retrieve your messages.

On the menu one of the choices is to turn on or off the answering message. I have not tried it but assume it works.

If you subscribe to a voicemail service with your telecom provider the phone has a visual indication feature that you have a new voicemail message. However, the phone does not have an answering machine feature and does not record messages.
