How can I change the answerer language to english on the GE 26998GE1-D ?

I just want to say thank you to Riley! My answering machine has been in Spanish for months!

You can't use the handset to change the language used by the answer machine part of the phone.... To do that you must press and hold the skip button for 2 seconds on the answering machine/base set.... I just downloaded the manual to 26998GE1-B to fix the same problem with my mom's 26998GE1-D, they are pretty much the same phone!

It is very simple. Check your user manual on page 9.
SETTING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE
1. Make sure the phone is OFF (not in TALK mode).
2. Press and release flash/program button until 1 ENG 2 FRA 3 ESP shows in the display. The default setting is English
3. Use the handset number pad or press the left or right arrow buttons to enter the desired setting. For example, to choose English press the number 1 key.
4. When finished, press and release flash/program button again to store the setting.
If you dont have the manual, email me and I will send it to you.
