Outgoing messages

The outgoing message is the message a caller first hears when the answering machine picks up their call. Your Freestyle 65 comes with 2 pre-recorded outgoing messages to choose from as follows:

Answer and Record

Your Freestyle 65 has a pre-set Answer and Record outgoing message that allows your caller to leave a message.

“Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone”.

However, you can record your own Answer and Record outgoing message if you wish, see ‘To record your own Answer and Record outgoing message’, opposite.

Answer Only

Your Freestyle 65 will play a pre-recorded Answer Only outgoing message but will not allow your caller

to leave a message.

“Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment and you cannot leave a message, so please call later”.

However, you can record your own Answer Only outgoing message if you wish, see ‘To record your own Answer Only outgoing message’, page 21.

Note

You can only record your own outgoing messages via the handset.

To record your own Answer and Record outgoing message
