FRITZ!Box answering machine configuration
It is possible to configure up to five integrated answering machines in the FRITZ!Box. You can switch answering machines on or off individually and each answering machine can be provided with its own configuration.
Add a new answering machine
You can configure an answering machine as follows:
– Click on “Telephony” on the FRITZ!Box user interface and go to “Telephony Devices”.
– Press “Configure new device”.
– Select “Answering Machine” under “Integrated in the FRITZ!Box” and then press “next”.
– In the operating mode, you can change the waiting time for the greeting, the duration of the recording and enter the name for the answering machine.
– If you want the answering machine to respond to certain numbers, select the desired phone numbers. If you assign a phone number to multiple answering machines, determine in the answering machine settings when which answering machine should respond. Should the answering machine respond to all numbers, select “accept all calls”. If the answering machine should only respond to anonymous callers, do not enable phone numbers and configure call forwarding for anonymous callers.
