ABSTRACT:
A Telephone Answering Device (TAD) has a message transfer system for notifying the owner that a message has been recorded on the TAD and permitting the owner to hear the message by having the TAD automatically dial a preprogrammed telephone number of a telephone at a second location. The TAD would play back a prerecorded audio message to the person picking up the telephone at the second location advising the person that a message has been recorded on the TAD. The TAD calls the preprogrammed telephone a number of times until the telephone at the second location is answered. If the telephone at the second location is not answered after the predetermined number of tries, the attempt to send the transfer message is discontinued.
