Can you still buy answering machines on their own?

[ClaireTurner76]

I really want to screen my calls for a while but I don't want a new phone with an answering machine in it. You used to be able to buy cheap single units but the cheapest ones now are made by BT and they are too dear for me at over £30. Does anyone know if you can buy one for maybe £15?

maybe a second hand one. Have you tried ebay? But having had a quick google, it seems just as much for an answerphone as it does for a handset that has answerphone.
