- What I've found works really well with most answering machines is
- calling in and changing the message via the remote control options.
- That way, you have a regular-sounding voice, instead of the
- speakerphone-in-a-cave effect that you get when using the built-in
- mic. Of course, this is most convenient when you have more than one
- line, but if you don't change your message too often, it works well
- even to call from somewhere else to change the OGM.
