outgoing messages to choose from (see note right) or you can
record your own.
Answer and Record (Ans & Rec)

the moment, so please leave your
message after the tone”.
Your Answer and Record outgoing
message can be up to 1 minute long
and will replace the pre-recorded
message.

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”.
