Customise your home phone greetings (HFC)

You can choose from a variety of greeting options for your home phone.

Standard Greeting

If you don't want to record a personal greeting, you can use the Standard Greeting. Callers will hear your name and a standard message whenever they reach your mailbox. For example, callers will hear "John Doe is not available right now. Please leave a detailed message after the tone".

  1. From the Main Menu: Press 312 to activate the Standard Greeting
  2. To deactivate the Standard Greeting, simply record a new Personal or Busy Greeting or reinstate any previously recorded greetings.

Personal Greeting

Your Personal Greeting is played when you don't answer the phone. You can update your Personal Greeting at any time:

  1. From the Main Menu press 3111 to hear your Personal Greeting
  2. Press 1 to keep the recorded greeting, or
  3. Press 2 to record a new greeting

Busy Greeting

Your Busy Greeting is played when you are on the phone. To update your Busy Greeting:

  1. From the Main Menu press 3112 to hear your Busy Greeting
  2. Press 1 to keep a recorded greeting, or
  3. Press 2 to record a new greeting.

Extended Absence Greeting

If you need a temporary greeting, or you'll be away for a long time, you can choose to activate an Extended Absence Greeting to be played when you're unavailable without having to record over your Personal Greeting.

You can choose to have the Extended Absence Greeting accept messages or simply play the greeting without the caller being able to leave a message.

  1. From the Main Menu press 314
  2. Press 1 to turn accept message on, or
  3. Press 2 to turn accept message off.
