A telephone answering system which includes an announcement tape (T-1) on which an announcement is recorded to be transmitted over the telephone line to a calling party upon the receipt of an incoming telephone call, and which also includes a message tape (T-2) on which a message from the calling party may be recorded. The telephone answering system has the capability of storing one or more messages on the announcement tape (T-1) in addition to the announcement, which are intended to be forwarded to one or more persons. The additional messages may be recorded from a remote location at preselected positions on the announcement tape (T-1) when a person transmits the proper access code over the telephone line, and then records one or more messages at one or more positions on the announcement tape. Each of the various persons to whom the different messages are to be forwarded may recover his particular message from a remote location over the telephone line. Each of the persons is provided with a particular code which when sent over the telephone line accesses to the corresponding position on the announcement tape (T-1) to cause the message at that particular position to be transmitted to the caller over the telephone line.
