Prerequisites for using the app: - You need an AVM Fritz!Box - Voice box and fax messages: Answering or fax machine must be configured in your Fritz!Box. Currently the AVM Fritz!Box models 7590, 7490 and 6490 with the latest firmware are supported.

If you have feedback about using the app with other models please let us know by sending an email to support@checkmybox.de. In case the file format or the way messages are stored by the Fritz!Box answering or fax machine should be changed in future firmware versions, we'll make all effort to adopt this app accordingly.
