Link to cell home phone that records cell calls

Old school? Ancient! Such as the telephone booth, telegraphs, pigeons, beepers etc.

Texting. VM is becoming kinda old school.

I miss having a "home phone" that everyone in the family could check for messages, leave messages for all, instead of calling 3 or 4 cellphones. NOT advocating giving up individual cellphones - is there a group voicemail app?

What am I missing?

Without knowing more I can't tell but if say the "Machine" is set to five rings and the cell pone is set to transfer to voice mail after 3... It is as you suspect.

NOTE: Many home machines have a dual ring setup. Like 5 rings if nothing new
or 2 if new messages present. That way you call from a pay phone and hang up if it rings 4 times.. If it answers on the 2nd ring you punch the command codes and pass codes and it plays back for you.

I prefer having the answering machine - it saves dialing for messages since cell "messages" requires you to call voicemail

Gotta ask why? Cell phones have answering capabilities.

You still have a physical answering machine? If the recording takes the message on the cell I don't know why it matters.
