Viewing software for S60 1st and 2nd ed

There are two views in the program: Answering machine & Message player. You can switch between them with left and right joystick keys.

Answering machine view:

Here you can see answering machine status: turned off, waiting for a call, incoming call, playing greeting message, or recording message.

In this view you can also see brief statistics for your messages, the number of unheard messages and an approximate number of messages that can be recorded (calculated as a ratio of free disk space to max. message size)

You can turn on and turn off the answering machine here. When the answering machine is turned on, you can see a small indicator in the right topmost corner of the screen, which is always-on-top. This indicator will be also visible in all applications when Answering Machine is minimized.

Message player view:

This view shows the list of messages. All unheard messages are shown in Bold font. Messages without message file are shown in red (e.g. if message file itself was removed with a file explorer outside of Answering Machine).

In this view you can play a message and immediately call the person who has left the message. When the message is being played you may change its volume with joystick (left/right).

Note: for storing messages we use AMR sound format. This format is highly compressed and best suits answering machine needs especially taking into consideration the fact that the smartphone is limited in disk space.

You can get detailed message information here by selecting message properties. Here you can see message status (heard, unheard), call date/time, message duration left, total call duration, name of the caller (if his/her name was found in your contacts), phone number (if detected), and file name where the message is stored.

There are some more commands in advanced menu: Refresh (refreshes the list of messages), delete message, delete all messages and pack messages. When packing all messages, the messages without corresponding message files are deleted (they're shown in red).
