Caller Specific Announcements

This phone allows you to record up to three announcements that you can match to: 1) specific incoming caller numbers, or to 2) callers who choose to block their name and number when calling, or to 3) callers from areas in which Caller ID information is not transmitted. Callers from the number(s) you designate will hear your selected announcement, not the “regular” announcement that other callers hear.

See “Setting Up Caller Specific Outgoing Announcements”.

For example, you could record the following announcement to be played when you receive a call from your friend’s telephone number: “Hi. I went to play tennis. I’ll be back around eight o’clock.”

Or, you could record the following announcement to be played to callers who choose to block their Caller ID information (private calls):

“Hello. You have chosen to block your name and number. Blocked calls will not be accepted at this number.”
