When preselected digits representing a code are entered onto a remote telephone, the digits are detected by the beeper simulator. It then causes a signal generating means to emit the particular beeper signal needed for operation of the telephone answering apparatus. The beeper simulator can be initialized so that it will produce the particular beeper signal needed to operate the particular telephone answering apparatus.
