40Using your answering machine

If you subscribe to your network provider’s Caller Display service, the date and time are set automatically when your BT Freestyle 7150 receives its first call, but you will also need to set the day using a handset.

You can operate your BT Freestyle 7150 answering machine from:

the handset

Remotely from any external Touchtone™ telephone. The factory setting for the answering machine is ON.

Until you change your outgoing message, your callers will be greeted with the pre-recorded message ‘Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone’.

Day, date and time

An announcement of day, date and time of recording will be added automatically to each message and memo. The date and time is also displayed on each handset. The day, date and time are set using a handset.
