Answer & Record
The pre-recorded Answer & 
Record outgoing message 
that allows your caller to leave 
a message is, “Hello, your 
call cannot be taken at the 
moment, so please leave your 
message after the tone”.
Answer Only
The pre-record Answer Only 
outgoing message, where 
callers hear an announcement 
but can’t leave a message, is 
“Hello, your call cannot be 
taken at the moment and you 
cannot leave a message, so 
please call later”.
When recording your Answer 
Only message, remember to 
let your caller know that they 
won’t be able to leave 
a message.
The default outgoing message 
mode is Answer & Record using 
the female voice.
If your answer machine is full 
you will not be able to record 
your outgoing message.
Outgoing messages
The outgoing message is the message a caller first 
hears when the answer machine picks up their 
call. There are two pre-recorded male and female 
outgoing messages to choose from, one that allows

one that simply answers the call (Answer Only) or 
you can record your own.
