My answering machine has served me well. I purchased it back in the early 80's & it was one of those kind that had the little bitty tapes in it...It finally bit the dust so off to Target I went to try & replace it. (Did you know they don't make them anymore?)
I also had the separate little caller id box..One of the original ones, I'm sure. It was quite a contraption with all the different wires, boxes & phone all hooked up together.
Anyways, I was able to get a new phone, with caller id AND an answering machine (all rolled into one unit) for $30.00!
Geez, talk about living in the dark ages.
Thanks to those who offered encouragement
about my recent investment disaster. It helps!

Also, um, I believe any contemporary landline phones will still work during a power outage, though other features such as the answering machine won't. However, both my answering machine and my phone are separate units, so that might make a difference....
