to three minutes long) that callers will hear when the system answers a
call. When you record your announcement, make sure you indicate who
has been assigned to each mailbox, and that callers should press 1 or 2 to
access the appropriate mailbox.
For example,
"Hello. You've reached Meadowlark Nursery. To leave a message
for Ms.Arbor, press 1. To leave a message for Mr. Cardinal, press 2.
If you don't have a touch tone phone, wait for the tone. "
