RE: Sony Xperia X-Performance, answering Machine

So I really don't mean to sound stupid but what could this app do that voice 
mail cant? What settings are hard to set that would make someone want to use 
this app over voicemail on a smart phone? Just curious

The Sony Xperia phone is the first I've used that has an independent answering 
machine App, by independent I mean independent of a Voicemail service.

The App seems quite accessible and easy enough to set up, just record your 
greeting, set the time for the answering machine to activate on an imcoming 
call and that's it.

There are several ways to play back messages left on the answering machine, the 
easiest way is to go into the Call Log and double-tap the answering machine 
message iCon next to the entry.

The other method involves going into the Answering Machine App found under 
settings/Calls/Xperia Answering Machine., play the message you wish to hear by 
double-tapping on it, audio can be heard either through the earpiece - default 
- or through the stereo speakers, - headphones will also work when connected -.

To delete a message double-tap and hold that message to select it, the phone 
then goes into "Select Mode", a checkbox is displayed next to each message 
which can be toggled for selection.

Double-Tap the "Delete" iCon near the top right of the screen and you're done.

I sincerely hope Sony conteinues to develop the Answering Machine App as it has 
a lot of potential, as is the Answering Machine presents a convenient and 
accessible alternative to traditional Voicemail services which can be a little 
tricky sometimes to set up.
