AT&T 992 Caller Specific Outgoing Announcements

Caller Specific Outgoing Announcements

You can record up to three Caller Specific Outgoing Announcements that

you can match to:

• specific incoming caller numbers,or

• callers who choose to block their name and number when

calling,or

• 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.

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.”
