I need a stand alone telephone answering machine with a minimum 3
minute outgoing message (ogm) capability. Need to be able to purchase
it at a brick and mortar store in Southern California area, for less
than $70.
Thanks

The AT&T 1738 has a 3-minute outgoing message limit, per the manual:
http://telephones.att.com/telephones_ui/phone_store/dsp_product.cfm?itemID=1699&parent=514

It should be in stock at the Circuit City in Bakersfield, for $29.95:

The AT&T answering machine is what I need, but circuit city doesn't
carry it. You have to order it then pick it up. I need to pick this up
today.

Found it at best buy. Sublime please submit as answer.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for accepting my work as your answer. Circuit City's
'check for availability' function didn't verify that they
had it in stock, so I couldn't be certain of that.

I browsed and searched the Best Buy site and didn't find the
AT&T 1738 listed, or any that weren't attached to a phone:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=answering+machine&sc=Global&cp=1&sp=&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1%7E%7Eq616e73776572696e67206d616368696e65%7E%7Eccat06000%23%231%23%2316%7E%7Eccat06002%23%238%23%2316%7E%7Enccat06012%23%230%23%237&list=n&usc=All+Categories&nrp=15&iht=n

But they don't list every product they have, like most large
stores.

I assume you were able to call them and verify that they had
it. I'm glad it worked out.
