Tip
Economy mode can save you the cost
of a long-distance call when you
check your messages remotely. If
there are new messages in your
answering machine, the outgoing
message will start playing after 3
rings. If there are no new messages,
the outgoing message will be played
after 5 rings. Hence, if you want to
check if you have any messages
without incurring call charges, you
can hang up the call after the 4th ring.
