In a telephone answering device, the number of received calls is indicated by a number ring rotated in geared relationship with the rim-driven, incoming message tape take up reel. A fixed length incoming message period is established by actuating an answering cycle termination switch after a single revolution of a gear member driven by the take up reel. The same gear member rotates the number ring by a fixed angular extent each time an incoming message is recorded. Numerals, provided on the number ring with like angular separation, indicate the number of answered calls.
