Like many other answering systems available, the AT&T Cordless Answering System 5630 allows you to
retrieve messages and operate other functions even when you are away from your home or office. Unlike
most other answering systems, however, the 5630 has the advantage of cordless phone technology. This
means that you can access your answering machine not only when you are away from your home or office,
but also when you are using the cordless handset anywhere in or around your home or office (as long as you
are within range of the base).
