phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by

About Announcements
•
You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal
answering and one for when you’ve set the system to play the
announcement only.
•
Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information
to callers without accepting messages.
•
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with
a pre-recorded announcement.
•
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. Please
leave a message after the tone.” The Announce Only
pre-recorded announcement says: “We’re sorry, messages to this
number cannot be accepted.”
•
By setting Announce Only to on or off, you decide which announcement
your callers will hear when the system answers a
call (the system comes set for normal answering, with Announce
Only turned off). See “Change announce only” on page 55 to
change your announcement selection.
