[edit] Additions

Other than the 70's song mentioned near the end of the article, there is no indication of when answering machines and their respective storage mediums started appearing. I don't have this information, but it would certainly be a start to cleaning up this article.

Often when the police are seen investigating a murder they find an important clue on the answering machine.

In German detective TV shows, the police often check who the victim last called. They don't check answering machines that often, though. JIP | Talk 17:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


What about Cheaper by the Dozen, when they all try to record an answering message, but are cut off before all of them can finish? (Near the end, however, they do finish it.) --Yeah, it's me again. 22:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
