Outgoing messages

The outgoing message (OGM) is the greeting a caller hears
when the answering machine picks up their call.

Your BT Graphite 1500 gives you a choice of two
pre-recorded outgoing messages, one for Answer & Record
and one for Answer Only.

Answer & Record

Callers hear the announcement and are able to leave a
message for you. The pre-recorded message is, “Hello, your
call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your
message after the tone.”
