Your Answer and Record outgoing message can be up to 1 minute long and will replace the pre-recorded message.

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.
