Outgoing messages
The outgoing message is the message a caller first hears
when the answering machine picks up their call. There
are 2 pre-recorded outgoing messages to choose from
(see note opposite) or you can record your own.
Record your own outgoing message
Your Answer and Record outgoing message can be up to
3 minutes long and will replace the pre-recorded message.
Your Answer Only message can be up to 16 minutes long
