Answer and Record
The pre-set Answer and Record outgoing
message, that allows your caller to leave a
message, is “Hello, your call cannot be taken at
the moment, so please leave your message after
the tone”.
Your Answer and Record outgoing message can
be up to 3 minutes long and will replace the
prerecorded message.
Answer Only
The pre-set Answer Only outgoing message,
where callers hear an announcement but cannot
leave a message, is “Hello, your call cannot be
taken at the moment and you cannot leave a
message, so please call later”.
When recording your Answer Only message,
remember to advise your caller that they will not
be able to leave a message.
Your Answer Only message can be up to 3
minutes long (maximum recording length) and
will replace the pre-recorded message.
However, you should try to keep your message
short to allow time for recording memos, or
incoming messages when using Answer and
Record mode.
