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.

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).
