    Sure, you can buy them in any Radio Shack or Walmart or even some grocery and drug stores.

    Many answering machines come with an "output" jack on the rear - so you plug the answering machine into the wall jack and your phone into the answering machine. If your answering machine doesn't have that feature get the splitter at Radio Shack.
