It would be better for you to read the user guide (available as a free PDF download from Webgate's site).

Since you only asked about the answering machine function, I guess you already know how to reject callers and set up black/white-lists, profiles, schedules, etc.

Here's the brief version:

1)  Options > Preferences > General > *Answ. Mach. After (seconds) > **Max. Msg. Duration (seconds)
*Set shorter time (0-1 secs) if you don't intend to answer any calls, so they go straight to voicemail. If you want to select your callers, set a longer time.
**If you don't want callers to leave messages, set it to 0sec. If yes, then allow at least 30-60secs.

2)  Record your message: Greetings > Record new
You can record as many greetings as you like. Different one for each white/black-list or different time of day (profile/scheduler).

3)  Return to main menu: Default action > Answering machine > Greeting name (choose whichever recorded greeting you want)
You can set one main greeting for everyone (Default action) and at the same time special/personal greetings for selected persons. Example, one for your boss, one for your girlfriend/boyfriend, one for your best friend, etc. These special greetings will have to be set under white/black-lists and if you want extra control, profiles and scheduler.

Very nice application, eh?
It's not a recording application. Only answering machine, call divert/forwarding and white/black-list functions. It comes preloaded on the E71, free and LEGAL, courtesy of Nokia.

Guys,

i have been using my E71 for more than one month.

But still i can't solve the MAXIS - GPRS,3G,MMS,internet browsing issue.

I downloaded the setting from maxis, i called them many many times..
Everytime i wan to start browsing, it show PACKET DATA NOT ALLOWED... something like that.!!!

HOW TO DEAL with this problem? PLS HELP...    

hi,
if we keep this application running,does it consume a lot of battery power?

thanks 

i dont have that answering machine app also ): so sad

Normally, I only use ACM for a few hours, maximum half day. Have not noticed a great difference in battery life.
Authorised sets (Zitron, Avaxx) should have the ACM installer on the memory card. If not, you can download it from Nokia's website (Europe).

hi all, I jut bought my E71, everything seems fine, but just the battery life, I am not a heavy user, seldom use WIFI, musics, players...normal daily call will be about 20 mins only, but the battery can only last for 2 days...is this not normal?

Eh..wat he says its true! It is strong compare to others..I'm a heavy user..with loads of calls, sms, 24hours online (email application), vibrates, online chatting..i get 2 days..if I use wifi probaly 1day++

but mine battery macam not very lasting...u heavy user still can last for 2 days, I am not heavy user but mine can only last for 2 days...u think if changee battery will help?

How long have u been using ur phone? days? months?

only 1 week..

Sabar lah bro! I felt exactly the same during my 1st week  ..pondering why the battery like cant last as long as wot other user claim to be..then u'll realise the full potential of the battery capacity.

But do check on some settings & applications, turn the unnecessary off! U need to do abit of conservation too..like lighting timing, powersave functions, etc...

may be you can check this setting..
tools - setting - connection - APN control (make sure is restrictions inactive, to inactive, the PIN2 is 1234.)

I have done this but still get the "packet data connection not available" error message.
Anyone have any idea?

haha...thanks bro! u know la..new phone...sure tak sabar sabar abit one...
