Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone FF680 Cordless Tape Answerphone, complete in boxA Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone, cordless telephone and answering machine using dictation tape, model FF680, dating from about 1990.
Museum item, perhaps, or collector's item. May be usable, but untested.
This tape answerphone variant of the FF680 is extremely rare, it seems,
as I can't find another one anywhere on Google.
From TechMonitor.ai =============================
Southwestern Bell Telecom UK, Southwestern Bell Corp’s Southall, West London-based division, set up in 1987 to sell a range telecommunication products to the UK residential and small business market, has introduced several more products to its already extensive range. Working on the assumption that the cordless phone and the answering machine are popular products in their own right, Southwestern Bell has come up with what is surprisingly the first amalgam of these products in the UK. In addition to the usual features, the FF680 combined cordless telephone and answering machine also offers the Digital Call Guard system, which prevents other cordless phone users from listening in to calls. The FF680 will retail at UKP190
