answering machine

An electronic device which is designed to automatically answer your phone calls. People who are too cheap to get voice mail usually have an answering machine.

I got rid of my answering machine and got voice mail instead.

One of the most famous telephone numbers in the world. Made famous by the 1980's song by Tommy Tutone. The number is a favorite among phreaks, prank callers, college students, or anyone else looking to raise some hell.
