AT&T model CL82107 won't play recorded greeting

I have recorded my greeting, but callers do not get my greeting, they get "you have reached telephone number xxx-xxx-xxxx." I have called my own number and don't receive my recorded greeting, but when I play the recorded messages from my calls, I get the greeting repeated back to me instead of my message. Very strange. I have used both the greetings wizard function and the re-record function and turned on the answering service function. When I play my greeting to verify it, it plays my greeting, so I know it is there, but the greeting will not play for incoming calls.

Sounds like the phone company voicemail is picking up before your answering machine. Either have the phone company turn off their VM, or set it out for more rings, or set yours to pick up sooner. You don't say what phone service you have, some you can turn it off yourself.
