Recording a Personal Greeting

Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can record your own personal outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.
