Outgoing messages

The outgoing message is the message a caller first
hears when the answer machine picks up their call.
There are two pre-recorded outgoing messages
to choose from, one that allows callers to leave a
message (Answer & Record) and one that simply
answers the call (Answer Only) or you can record
your own. The default is Answer & Record.
