Answer and Record

The pre-set ‘Answer and Record’ outgoing message (Outgoing Msg 1), that allows your caller to leave a message, is “Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, please leave your message after the tone”.

Answer Only

The pre-set Answer Only outgoing message, where callers hear an announcement but cannot 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 advise your caller that they will not be able to leave a message as the Answer Only mode will not record incoming messages.

You can record an outgoing message up to 60 seconds long.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 242 6652 or email bthelpdesk@convergys.com
