Every now and then I receive a message on my answering machine (same
line as my Panasonic 3910R) telling me I attempted to dial a long
distance number incorrectly or something that effect (of course, a
recorded message). Does anybody have any idea of why this should be,
or has anybody had the same experience? I wonder if it is in any way
associated with cordless phone use; yet, how does it get on the
answering machine tape? Is it possible that the cordless phone is
initiating calls that somehow seep into the answering machine? Or, is
this the kind of thing that might occur independently of the cordless
phone? An enigma ...
