Abstract

In an automatic telephone answering device, answering messages or signals recorded on a memorizing element are transmitted with a pause interval therebetween so as to allow a calling party to talk. An actuator is provided in a blank portion of the tape to energize a timer circuit for operating a loudspeaker for only 3 to 4 seconds to reproduce the voice of the calling party, so that a called party hearing the voice can recognize who the calling party is without picking up the hand-set of the telephone set.
