Abstract
A telephone answering machine with remote control capabilities which responds to remote control signals received over the telephone line after the termination of an announcement interval (T.sub.1) to play back previously recorded messages over the telephone line to the calling party. The machine is susceptible to a number of controlled operations such as the playback of all previously recorded messages, playback of new messages only, remote changing of the announcement, remote backspacing control, selective erasure of the messages after playback, providing an indication to the calling party as to whether any new messages have been recorded since his last remote operation, and other controlled operations to be described.
