Answering Machine vs Voice Mail.

Answering machine: buy once, no monthly fee (+1). If someone calls while you are using the phone, he/she gets a busy signal and you lose an opportunity (-5). Customer/friend irritation factor toward you because they can't leave a message (-6).

Voice mail: monthly fee (-1). No caller ever gets a busy signal (+5), you can check your messages from anywhere easily (+3), it never breaks or fails even during power outages (+4).

Score: Answering machine: -10, Voice mail: 11.
