Ring Duration
- You can change the amount of
time your phone will ring before the caller is sent to Message
Manager. By default, this is 15 seconds. Generally people set their
answering machines to answer after 9 to 25 seconds (4 to 8 rings).
Important note – if you are using a 1571 network voicemail service
in conjunction with trueCall, Message Manager must answer your
calls before the 1571 network voicemail service. In this situation we
recommend that you set trueCall to pick up after 9 seconds.

messages being left. If this is switched OFF you can still screen

Record your
Personal Shield Announcement
- The
standard Shield announcement is:-
“If you are family or a friend please press 5, if you are a cold
caller please hang up and don’t call us again”.
It comes after your personal greeting, and needs to tell invited
callers to press the breakthrough key, and tell cold callers to go
away. Some possible alternative wordings are given on page 24.
Different trueCall units have different breakthrough keys (the key
that the caller has to press to get through) so remember to use the
breakthrough key for your particular trueCall unit in your personal
Shield announcement. If you want to change your Shield announce-
ment, see page 23 for note on personalising announcements.
