The caller will then hear the prompt “So please leave your message after the tone.Ó

For example if you want mailbox 1 for John’s messages and mailbox 2 for Jane’s messages your outgoing message might sound like this:

Hello, we cannot take your call at the moment. To leave a message for John, press 1, or for Jane, press 2, immediately after the tone.

If the caller does not press 1 or 2 before leaving their message, neither of the mailboxes will be selected and the message will be recorded in the ‘standard’ answering machine mailbox.
