federal regulations that concern recording a telephone
call, you should start the recording process and then
inform the caller that you are recording the call.

Priority Call Signal
When a caller enters the Priority Calling Code from a
touch tone phone, the system beeps loudly to alert you
that you have a priority call. You’ll need to provide select
callers with the Priority Calling Code (preset to 999), in
order for them to use this feature.
1 Your caller dials your telephone number from a touch
tone phone.
2 When the announcement begins to play, your caller
can enter the Priority Calling Code.
3 The system beeps three times, then pauses. This
continues for up to 30 seconds, unless you answer the
phone. The beeps are audible on both ends of the call.
4 If you do not answer, your caller can enter a mailbox
number (1, 2, 3, or 4), and leave a message in a mailbox.
