your announcement to greet callers
without accepting messages.
• If you choose not to record an
announcement, the system answers
with a pre-recorded announcement.

announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable
to answer your call right now. Please
leave your name, number and a
message after the tone.”
The Announce Only pre-recorded
announcement says: “Hello, I’m unable
to answer your call right now. Please
call again. Thank you.”
